[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 ]

This week’s shows (3/28/2011-4/3/2011)

Cut Copy, Holy Ghost! – Monday, March 28 – The Masquerade (Heaven) There’s no way around it – Cut Copy‘s Zonoscope is the most disappointing album I’ve heard this year.  My expectations were really high, though.  I don’t think it’s a bad album, but I do think it’s several steps behind 2008′s fantastic In Ghost [ 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 ]

Barroco Music Festival happens this weekend at The Goat Farm

I forgot to include this in my weekly show previews, but it’s definitely worth checking out.  It’s totally free and features 10 great local(ish) bands.  The last free festival at the Goat Farm was one of the best things to go down in Atlanta this year (more about that here), and I expect this one [ READ MORE ]

Woodruff Arts Center’s Nights on the Piazza concert series (9/30-10/28)

I didn’t include tonight’s free Sealions/Tealights show at the Woodruff Arts Center in this week’s show round-up because I didn’t know it existed until last night (hat tip to Sealions’ twitter).  Apparently it’s part of the Nights on the Piazza concert series that brings free shows to the Woodruff every Thursday night between September 30th [ READ MORE ]

Live review: Oryx and Crake, Venice is Sinking, Book of Colors @ The Earl, 8/28/2010

While the music was great Saturday night, the crowd was obnoxiously loud. This was especially true during Book of Colors, the first and quietest band on the bill. It can be hard for an opening band to hold the attention of unfamiliar audience members out drinking with their friends on a Saturday night, and it’s [ READ MORE ]

New Album Reviews: Venice is Sinking and The Fling

Venice is Sinking – Sand & Lines Sand & Lines comes with a pretty heavy backstory: it was recorded live in Athen’s Georgia Theatre shortly before it burned to the ground. Those background details gain even more weight when you actually hear the album – the theater and its acoustics are embedded in its DNA. [ READ MORE ]
