Harvest of Hope offers more bands, quickly becomes favorite for most underrated festival of 2009
Let’s face it. Amidst the current economic environment, all of us are being a bit cautious on how we spend our money. So when an opportunity like Harvest of Hope presents itself, one can’t help but embrace the St. Augustine, Florida based music festival. And that was before the newest round of lineup additions. As [...]
Album Review: Antony and the Johnsons – The Crying Light
Even if you’ve never picked up an Antony and the Johnsons release, you’ve probably heard Antony Hegarty, the group’s front man. In the last several years he’s worked with Rufus Wainwright, CoCoRosie, Björk, and, perhaps most prominently, Hercules and Love Affair. Caution: Hagerty’s work under his band’s moniker Antony and the Johnsons sounds nothing like [...]
Lil’ Wanye conjures up work on rock album!?!
Ah, Lil Wayne. He never does disappoint. After all, between the ESPN appearances and work on his forthcoming rock epic, aka as follow up to 2008′s blockbuster, Tha Carter III, in just the last week alone the Louisiana native is giving Mr. West a serious run for his money as most fascinating hip-hop star. Wait, [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 1/12)
It’s the second week of 2009 and life is finally as it should be: Mickey Rourke is beloved again and talk shows are out of their winter hiatus. I think we can all agree that, if a higher power exists, it’s in full swing this month. Your DVR will be busy this week as it [...]
Interview: Andy Fry (of Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s)
Last year, October to be exact, writer Drew Litowitz was pretty psyched over Animal!/Not Animal!, the dual release by indie darlings, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s. Awarding the two albums three and half and four stars respectively, he summed up his thoughts nicely writing, “the albums are both very strong, containing well-constructed somber [...]
Harlem Shakes find color and health in debut effort
Get ready for another band from everyone’s favorite borough, Brooklyn! After making a dent with the 2007 release of their Burning Birthdays EP and then staying dreadfully silent in 2008, the Harlem Shakes are poised to return in the New Year with the release of their first full-length, Technicolor Health, on March 24th via Gigantic [...]
TNK Spotlight: Department of Eagles
In the days leading up to the CoS sponsored Tomorrow Never Knows Music Festival, we’ll be spotlighting some of the acts scheduled to bring the music and the fun to Schubas Tavern in Chicago between January 14-18… As a freshman in college, I got stuck in a pretty bad situation in the dorms. I was [...]
Fatboy Slim now The BPA, celebrates with new album
We’ve heard the name The BPA for a while now, ever since that clever little David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal-featuring tune entitled “Toe Jam” and its accompanying NSFW video (see below) hit the blogosphere last fall. As we discovery shortly there after, the project, more properly known as The Brighton Port Authority, is in fact [...]
Trail of Dead unearths more tour dates
Left out of the first round of …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead‘s 2009 tour dates? Fret no more! In support of their forthcoming new studio album, The Century of Self, due out on February 17th via Richter Scale Records, the Texas rockers have added a number of new tour dates [...]
Listen: Young Coyotes
Yeah, they’re two bearded dudes in tight American Apparel shirts. Yeah, their MySpace is pretty damn cheesy (Influences: Dreams? Sounds Like: Childhood?). Yeah, it’s acoustic guitar and a load of glockenspiel, with Shins-y harmonies. But, you know, they do it well. Damn well. Denver Colorado’s Young Coyotes take these seemingly simple building blocks and put [...]
