I was out of town and sadly didn't get to throw this out there first, but regardless, the news is great. Indianapolis-based band Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos signed with Sony's Epic label last week. The band returned from Chicago, after recording three songs with Modest Mouse/Iron & ...
Thanks to the Louisiana Office of Tourism, I'm heading down to cover the Voodoo Music Fest today.Voodoo will have three distinct stages, Le Ritual, LE Flambeau and Le Carnival. Le Ritual will feature your standard indie fest-type bands, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against The Machine, M.I.A., Kings Of Leon, Spoon but ...
I've been listening to The Weakerthan's Reunion Tour off and on for a few weeks now, and I gotta tell you, this record just makes me feel good and relaxed. Lyrically the narratives are not all full of feelings of warmth - more melancholy, yearning and disorientation really. We can ...
Anna Ternheim is sad. But the way she communicates that sadness with such simple, poetic beauty on her self-titled EP makes me happy. In truth, I didn't have any expectations when I popped her EP into my car's CD player one evening. I knew nothing about her. One listen and ...

One of the most creative new projects coming out of Indianapolis is David Adamson and Aimee Brown's Grampall Jookabox. Drawing heavily on the folk music of the 1920's and 1930's, Adamson then creates an experimental sound collage that is really quite fantastic - at times much to the suprise of ...
LoveLikeFire stopped in for a MOKB SIRIUS Blog Radio/91.7 WEEM session on their way to CMJ as well last week and were glad to have them. The San Francisco-based band doesn't have a lot of dates remaining after CMJ, but if you can catch them, they're really enjoyable. They're out ...
Due to obligations beyond my control, I won’t be at the CMJ Music Marathon this weekend. However, if in a fit of lucidity, I were to quit my job, I would celebrate with a plane ticket to NYC, a martini the size of a birdbath and the La Laque show ...
