Live Review: Deerhunter at Variety Playhouse, October 1
By David Courtright There are no more tidy boxes in music anymore. Genres are decaying on their stalks. The blight of mainstream. People ask, “What kind of music is it?” You shrug. “Good.” Fair enough. The good thing, one may suppose, is that a band like Deerhunter can become, well, mainstream. If that still means […]

CD Review: Sealions — Strange Veins; Playing 529, October 9
Sealions Strange Veins Self-Released By Eric Chavez Add a dash of the dark electronica/pop of The Cure, then mix in some of the experimental dance beats of David Bowie, refresh it with some talent from today and you have yourself some Sealions. The Atlanta-based foursome have recently been taking over the local music scene with […]
Q&A with Jeff Daniels; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar, October 30
By David Courtright Jeff Daniels, like many successful people in the creative industry, doesn’t sit still well. Aside from Screen Actors Guild and Tony Award nominations, aside from starring roles in classics like Dumb and Dumber, Pleasantville, and The Squid and the Whale, he is also a prolific playwright and champion of small theater. And […]
Live Review: Project 96.1 Reunion with Bullet For My Valentine at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater at Encore Park, October 3
By Ellen Eldridge; photo by Lisa Solomon Keel Sunday night’s show at Verizon Amphitheater was presented by Project 96.1 as the Family Reunion tour in a similar fashion to the Family Values tours of previous years. The combination of pop-metal bands felt a bit like a dysfunctional family picnic with Stone Temple Pilots acting as […]
CD Review: Tired Pony — The Place We Ran From
Tired Pony The Place We Ran From Mom & Pop Records By Scott Roberts Despite the beleaguered quality of the name of this super-group of sorts, Tired Pony, led by Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody and featuring the notable talents of R.E.M.’s Peter Buck and Belle and Sebastian’s Richard Colburn amongst others, has put together a […]

Live Review: David Bazan at The EARL, September 28
By Nathan Berrong I have seen David Bazan, or some musical form of him (Pedro the Lion, Headphones), probably more than anyone else. I don’t know the exact number of times I have seen him, but it is definitely more than 10 and probably less than 15. I have seen him on stage sloppy and […]
Live Review: Efterklang, Field Music, Buke and Gass at The EARL, September 27
By Giles Turnbull Seeing Buke and Gass live made me re-evaluate many things. If you’ve read my review of Riposte, their debut album, you’ll recall that the Buke is a modified six-string baritone ukulele and the Gass is a hybrind, part guitar, part bass, and in addition to these creations, Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez […]
