One of our absolute favorite local musicians, and one we’ve been covering since our earliest days, multifaceted hip hop artist Chancellor Warhol released his highly-anticiapted new EP, Until the Light Takes Me, last fall, and seems to be diving headfirst into a busy 2017, teasing more new music and multimedia ventures, and celebrating a prominent national commercial…
Though their first two albums earned them an unprecedented indie following, it was inarguably Coheed and Cambria‘s third full-length, the weird, sprawling, proggy, emo-tinged, spaced-out concept album Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, that catapulted the group to the national spotlight, setting the course for them to become festival…
Pop punk pioneers New Found Glory are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a lengthy spring run of shows where, each night, they’ll perform two of their classic albums, rotating a different combination for each city. Though at least some of the group call Music City home these days, and we spotted them around town frequently…
Looking for weekend plans? There are a slew of shows going on around town that are worthy of your consideration, including rock vets, rising soulful pop stars, legends in bluegrass, a Boom Bap, guitar virtuosos, and the Queen of Rockabilly to name just a few. Head below to see all of our staff picks…
It’s been nearly half a year since Carl Broemel celebrated the release of his third album, 4th of July, at The Basement East. In the months since, the buzz surround the My Morning Jacket member’s latest effort has only continued to grow, and we’re incredibly excited that he’ll return to the same spot once more for a performance…
San Francisco based ambient/electronic group Tycho have seen their stock rise since we first began covering them. They dropped Epoch late last year, which hit #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronica charts, and ultimately nabbed the outfit their first two Grammy noms. Epoch rounds out a trilogy of records for Tycho which began with 2011’s Dive and 2014’s…
We first told you about local psych pop outfit Okey Dokey last spring, ahead of their debut performance with us at our Acme Feed & Seed showcase. A songwriting duo composed of The Weeks’ (and former Sol Cat) guitarist Johny Fisher and local artist and bassist Aaron Martin, Okey Dokey have continued to mesmerize us with…
It’s a new year, and that means it’s time to bring back our long-running Acme Feed & Seed showcase from winter break. While we’re still keeping the roughly bi-monthly format we began last year (after two years of doing showcases every week), we’re making some changes for 2017. Instead of three bands every week, we’ll…
Kettering, England quartet Temples have been a rising voice in the psychedelic sphere since emerging on the scene in 2012, and really caught attention on both sides of the pond with their debut single “Shelter Song.” Things started moving pretty fast for the young rockers after a raucous run through SXSW, the release of their 2014 debut full-length, and…
At this point, seminal alt rock icons the Pixies have been reunited longer than the the 11 years they were broken up, and much longer than the seven that comprised their original, prolific run. It wasn’t until 2014, however, a decade after they first got back together, that the group finally released a new full-length (at first,…
