How Now

Found 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Photo via High Road Touring My enthusiasm for Brooklyn's The Jealous Girlfriends may have been cemented by their ass-kicking, if hardly attended, show at the Drake last October but it was instigated by their self-titled album which I'd gotten in all its CD-R, no artwork glory via CD Baby last ...

I Will Sing You Songs

Found 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Photo by Frank YangSee, if going to church was always such an ass-kicking rock experience, then I might go more often. Or at all. The tapings for season three of Beautiful Noise got off to an unbelievable start last night as My Morning Jacket rolled into town for their first ...

In The Night

Photo by Frank YangHad it really been almost five months since I last saw Basia Bulat live? I know that doesn't seem like a long time, but considering I'd caught her and her band some half-dozen times last year, that's a long time. And in that time, she's released her ...

CONTEST - Blitzen Trapper/Fleet Foxes/Fox Jaws @ The El Mocambo - April 2, 2008

Found 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Photo by Annie MusselmanThe last time Portland's Blitzen Trapper came through town, they found themselves in the odd position of losing their tour headliner (Two Gallants done gone got their van broke) and being added to someone else's show (John Vanderslice). How did they respond? By kicking serious ass. And ...

Ejector Seat Reservation

Photo by Matt AnkerThis is a bit of news I've been waiting anxiously to be able to announce - dates have been trickling out piecemeal for Swervedriver's North American reunion tour and while a Toronto date was confirmed as happening, the when and the where weren't being leaked... until now. ...

This Gift

Photo by Frank YangBlame Belle & Sebastian, or perhaps Teenage Fanclub, but in my mind Scots are generally synonymous with often quiet, unfailingly melodic and frequently bookish music. Even Mogwai, noisemongers they may be, rarely raise their voices past a mumble when it comes time to sing. So I have ...

True Blue

Photo by Darren AnkenmanIf Gary Louris had released Vagabonds under the Jayhawks mantle, no one would have batted an eye. But having essentially retired that outfit - ironically at a time when he was again working with fellow founder Mark Olson (their Ready For The Flood is out this Fall) ...

I Know What I?m Looking For Now

Photo by Mark BorthwickYou can't say that what Tift Merritt was doing wasn't working - her 2002 debut Bramble Rose was received with great critical acclaim and the follow-up, 2005's Tambourine, was equally well-received and garnered her a Grammy nomination. And yet, following the exhaustive touring cycle for that record, ...

CONTEST - Beach House @ The El Mocambo - March 28, 2008

Found 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Photo by Liz FlyntzIf you're having trouble sleeping of late, you may want to consider heading to the El Mocambo this Friday night when Baltimore guitar-and-keys duo Beach House pays us a visit in support of their new album Devotion. This isn't to say they'll put you to sleep from ...

Stop The Clocks

Photo via www.oasisinet.comNo pomp, no ceremony, no skydiving Richard Branson. Just a simple emailed press release with the first salvo of acts for this year's Virgin Festival Toronto lineup (thankfully not the Virgin Mobile Festival, as they've renamed the US edition to). The dates are September 6 and 7, the ...
