Hello weekend, I missed you. It’s Friday morning and I’m already looking at the clock wondering why nobody has invented a time machine yet. I promise I wouldn’t use it for evil – well, maybe I’d have a Bill & Ted style adventure, but mostly just to skip the weekdays. Friday, May 7 – Soulphonics […]
A ton of shows just went up for sale at Live Nation for shows coming up at The Tabernacle this summer. We’re especially excited about New Zealanders Crowded House – a supremely underrated band that doesn’t make it over to this neck of the woods often enough. Here’s what’s in store: 50 Cent – June […]
“Free Energy” from Free Energy on Vimeo. Maybe it’s just a good idea, but there is something about the name Free Energy that just makes you feel good. That good feeling only gets better once you start listening to their music. A retro-pop bag full of cheer, the songs are seriously happy. We actually like what we’ve heard […]
As a 9 to 5’er, every weekend is like a mini-Christmas. After five days of early mornings and painful traffic jams, I get two days to sleep in, stay out late, and drink ungodly amounts of cheap beer while watching bands! So what’s on the books this weekend? Alex Chilton Tribute – Friday, April 30 – Star Community Bar Sort […]

By Alec Wooden Fresh off the release of their second release, Kairos, White Hinterland‘s Casey Dienel and Shawn Creeden discuss musical philosophies, the new record’s decidedly new direction and Creeden’s post-practice pasta dishes. What’s your general philosophy as an artist? Casey Dienel: When I feel curious about something, I’m compelled to explore and experiment with […]
A Soul Survivor: Sharon Jones on her new album, touring philosophy and why she’s not retro at all By Alec Wooden A word to the wise: don’t say the “r” word to Sharon Jones. That word, of course, is “retro.” Oh, and I wouldn’t recommend “revivalist,” either. Those are the two most common words used […]

We finally have the video for Janelle Monae‘s first single of her debut album. “Tightrope” is just giddily exciting, with smooth rapping from Big Boi and dizzyingly marvelous singing from Monae.

OK Go – WTF? from OK Go on Vimeo. OK Go certainly know how to work that video camera. And they sure know how to get their fans’ attention. They launched a video remix project at the beginning of the year for their single “WTF,” which you may have started to hear on the ads […]
By Jhoni Jackson The Fresh & Onlys are riding on high in the wake of their latest release, but that’s nothing new.
