Who’s Who at Bonnaroo

Who’s Who at Bonnaroo: Ladytron

By on June 4th, 2008

Apparently, Elvis Costello and The Beatles aren’t the only musicians hailing from Liverpool that are worth mentioning. Though it’s members have distinctly different backgrounds, Ladytron, made up of Helen Marnie (lead vocals, keyboards), Mira Aroyo (vocals, guitars, songwriter, keyboards), Daniel Hunt (guitar tracks, songwriter, keyboards) and Reuben Wu (keyboards, violin, producer, songwriter, remixer, DJ) also [...]

Who’s Who at Bonnaroo: Superdrag

By on May 28th, 2008

Being the honest guy that I am, I’d like to state, from the get go, that when I initially saw Superdrag on the Bonnaroo Lineup, I wrote them off. Just as I did 12 years ago, when I finally satiated my craving for their first hit “Sucked Out“, way back in 1996. Did I mention [...]

It’s Sunday, June 15th and it’s 2:15 in the morning…do you know where you are? I know where I am. I’m somewhere between “This Tent”, “That Tent” and “The Other Tent” as I venture from Lupe Fiasco, catching a quick glimpse of Sigur Ros (okay, maybe more) along the way, and making my way over [...]

The well beyond their years, three-piece band from The Isle of Man, Back Door Slam, who derive their name from the Robert Cray song of the same name, is a heavy dose of pure blues and rock, laced with a slight Irish/Celtic undertone. The trio, all in their early twenties, is made up of Davy [...]

Born, Mark Lavon Helm on May 26th 1940 in Marvell Arkansas, Lavon began playing guitar at the tender age of eight years old. It was about six years later when Lavon realized his true musical calling (the drums), while watching D.J. Fontana jam them behind Elvis Presley. Helm joined Ronnie Hawkins and moved to Canada [...]
