[STREAM] The Viking Progress – “The Couple”

The new album from Athens’ The Viking Progress is a collection of character sketches, with each track adopting the point of view of someone facing the end of the world.  That sounds like a drag, but the record is a lot less ponderous than it reads on paper.  Viking Progress mastermind Patrick Morales uses his [ READ MORE ]

[VIDEO] Oryx and Crake – “The Road” and “Hold Hands for Dry Land”

  It hasn’t even been a full year since Oryx and Crake put out their first full length, but the band is already at work on album number two.  They’ve been playing some of the new material live, and it sounds incredible.  They opened with two new ones at Saturday’s house party, and that’s where [ READ MORE ]

[VIDEO] Two new videos from Oryx and Crake

    On Saturday, I was lucky enough to host Oryx and Crake as they debuted their first two music videos in front of a live audience in my backyard.  Both videos are viewable online now, and you can check them out above.  The first one is the Chronicle-produced video for “Open Your Eyes,” which [ READ MORE ]

[LIVE REVIEW] Secret Stages Music Festival in Birimingham, AL

There were a number of unknowns surrounding the first-ever Secret Stages music festival in Birmingham, AL.  I knew it had a good lineup, but I didn’t know how it would function as a festival.  Would it feel like a unified event, or just a bunch of loosely connected shows taking place during the same weekend?  [ READ MORE ]

Secret Stages is a regional music festival worth your $25

One of my favorite things about music festivals is the thrill of discovery.  It’s somewhere between unlikely and impossible that the average festival-goer is familiar with every single act on any given lineup, so encountering new music is almost inevitable.  Even if you plan your schedule around tried and true favorites, you’ll probably end up [ READ MORE ]

[VIDEO] Oryx and Crake – “The Road”

  Audio syncing issues aside, this video local favorites Oryx and Crake made for Couch by Couch West is great for so many reasons.  For starters, it’s way more captivating than any five minute, one-take iPhone video of two guys playing on a couch has a right to be.  I also love the singing saw [ READ MORE ]

Christmas music that doesn’t suck (and for a good cause!)

I don’t typically like Christmas music.  Never have, really.  That’s not an opinion you can just casually drop in public, either – you will be judged.  For whatever reason, there’s a lot of people out there who think there’s something seriously wrong with someone who doesn’t like Christmas music, like it’s a sign that you’re [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (9/7/2010-9/12/2010)

I ended up taking it fairly easy last week and only managed to catch Sons of Tonatiuh and Dead Rabbits. That’s less likely to be the case this week. There’s a lot going on. Tuesday (9/9/2010) – Tonight’s the slowest of the week.  There’s free funk and soul at 529 with “members of Georgia Soul [ READ MORE ]
