In Photos: Brodown Hoedown (SXSW 2009)
On Friday, Consequence of Sound teamed up with UnScene 2 and Chicago based outfit Blueblood for the second annual Brodown Hoedown. The turn out was great, as were the riffs and freestyles. But you can read all about it later today; we’re letting the pictures do the talking on this post. So without further ado, [...]
Mindless Self Indulgence alienates a Chicago audience (3/20)
On Friday, March 20th, all the pretty people of Chicago turned out for the Mindless Self Indulgence show at the House of Blues. Sound promising, right? Think again. The mish-mash of punk, goth, emo, and even a few hipsters melded into one cohesive unit ebbing and flowing with the crunchy guitars and throbbing bass lines [...]
Festivals in Brief: Coachella, Soundset, DEMF, ACL, and more!
Time to play more catch up. Much like the news, despite the fact that 99.854% of the music industry was in Austin last week, that didn’t stop our favorite summer music festivals from dishing the dirt on their respective lineups. You know the drill, let’s recap with today’s edition of “Festivals in Brief.” Coachella Music [...]
The news that was while we were gone…
By now, it’s pretty clear we don’t take vacations, let alone days off. Take last week for example. Yes, Consequence of Sound packed our bags and headed down to Austin for South by Southwest, but between the three events we hosted and slew of others we attended (see rest of site), life wasn’t any less [...]
SXSW ’09 in Review: Tuesday – Thursday
Another year brought another week of media hell to Austin, Texas’ dusty, city streets this past weekend. Hundreds of writers, musicians, and publicists shuffled about in a frenzy, moving from one venue to the next bar, trying to pretend it was all some sort of a vacation. It wasn’t too hard of an illusion. Considering [...]
Tool, The Killers confirmed as final two headliners of Lolla ’09
In news that probably shouldn’t surprise anyone, Tool and The Killers are reportedly the final two headliners of Lollapalooza 2009, joining the previously leaked Jane’s Addiction, Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, and Kings of Leon. Of course, nothing is official, but according to Mr. Leaky Faucet himself, aka The Chicago Tribune‘s Greg Kot, “multiple industry sources [...]
Rock History 101: Bruce Springsteen’s “American Skin (41 Shots)”
On the morning of February 4, 1999, Amadou Diallo, an immigrant street peddler, was about to enter his apartment building when he was approached by New York City police officers. Believing him to have matched a description of a serial rapist, they ordered for Diallo to show them his hands. Diallo allegedly made a charge [...]
Interview: The Poison Arrows
Back in January during the Tomorrow Never Knows festival at Schuba’s here in Chicago, we were able to sit down with one of our highlighted bands, the fearsome electric trio The Poison Arrows. While they put on one helluva show, it was after the show that the trio showed their fun-loving and goofy sided nature. [...]
mp3 Remix: Friday Mixtape XLVIII
Just because we’re down in Austin, doesn’t mean we’d forget about you — or your weekly mp3 fix. Below, we’ve compiled a special SXSW mixtape, chock full of goodies we think are pretty damn, well, neat. Of course, it wouldn’t be a CoS influenced mixtape if it didn’t have our personal favorites *ahem* who happen [...]
Soulive: 10 years and still going strong
Want to know how cool Soulive‘s new album is? So cool that even a month before its release date (April 14th), the Buffalo’s trio’s latest studio creation is already on a higher pedestal…Up Here in fact. Add in the fact that Up Here, described as “undeniably infectious groove” of old school favorites and more retro [...]
