Bonnaroo Preview – MiniBoone
•
Dude, is that Rock n’ Roll I hear!?!?!?! The distinctive punch-you-in-the-face-then-hug-you sound is super prevalent along with the fastest hair growth in Brooklyn (see video below). I guess that has helped MiniBoone to book shows in most of the New York venues, and to become one of the “must see bands of NYC”. They…

Bonnaroo Preview – Parkington Sisters
•
It’s a female, all-in-the-family version of Fleet Foxes!!! A pretty cool sound radiates through the peaceful aura of this quintet of highly trained musical sisters. The Cape Cod girls grew up in a very musical household, have extensive musical training, and have experimented with a number of musical outlets before coming together to form…

Bonnaroo Preview – River City Extension

They self produced an EP (Nautical Sabbatical) in 2009 and hit the road as a touring tour-de-force. River City Extension signed with XOXO Records to release their first LP (The Unmistakable Man) in 2010. …

The Generationals at The Basement – 5/21
•
It was ‘judgement day”, I had spent all week in front of a computer. In the event that all hell did break loose, I didn’t want to be in front of a Macbook when it happened. So, I didn’t give much pre-game attention to The Generationals (the openers for Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr) on…

Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr at the Basement – 5/21
•
These guys have been getting a lot of hype lately, and I was very excited to spend my last possible minutes on Earth (It was the day of the supposed Rapture) with these guys. The tiny stage at the Basement was adorned with giant-bulbed “J’s” and “R’s”, and given the lack of a dressing…

Mogwai w/ Errors – 8pm tonight, Exit/In
•
Mogwai is the epitome of post-rock. This five man band out of Glasgow Scotland is well known for lengthy instrumental electric guitar pieces and melodic bass lines. The effect is half heart pounding head bobbing intensity and half peaceful lullabies. These guys have been melting brains while rocking you to sleep since 1995 when…

Many of you already know about Nashville winning the Best Music Scene title because it was widely publicized when released a few months ago. But, I wanted to repost it for those who did not see it, and as a reminder to those who glazed over it…. this is a big advertisement for Nashville.…

Uh Huh Her, Exit/In – Wed. May 18
•
This indie electropop duo that seems to just have fallen into it. I am not insinuating that they haven’t worked really hard to get where they are, but these two LA girls have had lots of opportunity (and have taken full advantage!!!!) from multiple bands and a staring role in the Showtime series The…
