Gorillaz’s latest album, Plastic Beach, has been getting plenty of spins at HT headquarters, so we’ve been waiting to see how the disc translates live. We’ll finally get our chance
Whoops! Looks like we have entered into some type of wormhole because something seems funny about this edition of Last Week’s Sauce. Our President is William Jefferson Clinton and Elian Gonzales has been recently returned to his native Cuba. Gas prices are continuing to rise, we’re currently looking at $1.46 a gallon up 25% from last summer’s average of $1.17. And of course, there is a jamband show on every block. Let’s have a listen in!

And we continue to take all the selected tracks, normalize them, create some simple fades and put it into one easy to download MP3 for you.

21 year-old guitarist Derek Trucks continues to be a musical force to be reckoned with. Trucks was officially made a member of The Allman Brothers Band last summer and in between playing Red Rocks earlier this month and picking up the second leg of ABB tour now, Derek snuck in a few gigs with his solo band.

POP Rocks! is an art and music performance series organized by psychedelic artist Jess Pfohl. The next installment of the music and art series takes place this weekend at the Baltimore Hard Rock Café. In addition to an exhibition of collaborative artwork by Jess and photographer Michael Weintrob, attendees can expect performances by Some Cat From Japan, Eric McFadden, Wyllys, Tom Hamilton’s American Babies and a showcase of Baltimore bands.
I talked to Jess about pulling the show together, the future of the POP Rocks! series and painting a Rocks Off! cruise boat in 2011…
J.R. Hevron: You started the POP Rocks! Series last December with a show at Sullivan Hall in New York City with Scott Metzger’s Heroin. How did that come about?
Jess Pfohl: I wish I could take credit for the whole premise of what I’m doing, but it’s inspired by what Andy Warhol had with the Velvet Underground. Andy had an appreciation for the relationships between rock and roll and pop culture and powerful artwork. He wanted to create a marriage between the three and make it into a lifestyle. When I finally decided to show my work, it felt appropriate to do it in the most Andy fashion—and that’s why I asked Scott to put together the band Heroin [which played the music of the Velvet Underground].
JH: What is your artwork like for this installment?
JP: For this exhibit, photographer Michael Weintrob and I teamed up. It’s exciting because he’s such a wonderful photographer. Over the past couple of months, He sent me over 200 images to pick from. I took those images, blew them up, took all of the color out of them, and then painted my day glo on top of the images.
It’s all inspired by Warhol’s screen printing. I think that if Andy were alive today, he would have progressed into high-res printing, enlarging images, layering images and things like that.

Not even three months passed since Minus the Bear last came through Kansas, having opened for the Flaming Lips at their date in late April at Capitol Federal Park at Sandstone in Bonner Springs. A little over 80 days later, and 30 miles down the Road, the Seattle quintet returned to the Sunflower State for a set at the Granada in Lawrence. The cozier environs of the former movie theater on Massachusetts Street provided a more intimate, and fitting, setting than an amphitheater, allowing those in attendance to fully appreciate the sound the band rolled out on their new album, Omni.
Collective wisdom has always been that Andre 3000 was the freak and Big Boi was the street when it came to OutKast, but Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, could slightly shift that view. Big Boi has mastered the microphone and allows his purple freak flag to fly with bass lines, beats, and various musical styles. Caribbean, classical, new wave and syrupy southern soul all seep into the sound.
Gorillaz are set to take their Plastic Beach around the world later this year. The band have today confirmed they will play 20 shows in North America (including their first
