World premiere: Abandon Jalopy – "All the Way" video + podcast interview

Feb 13, 1:25pm donewaiting.com

We're very excited and honored to be premiering "All the Way", the first video from Abandon Jalopy's Death & Joy , which will officially be released on February 14. Abandon Jalopy's Brad Smith spent a few hours on the phone with me a few weeks ago, talking about his new record and answering some questions about Blind Melon , the band that gave Brad his start. I edited it down (the call lasted 2.5 hours!) to about 40 minutes for a new podcast that, [...]

BLIND MELON – “No Rain (PUMPKIN Remix)”

Feb 7, 9:41pm Audio Absinthe

When I saw someone posted this remix of Blind Melon's classic song "No Rain" I was skeptical. I usually don't like it when someone tries to remix a classic. Why mess with a something that works? Well, in this case, the remix also works. It's a super smooth, laid back trip down memory lane... now we just need the bumble bee. Good work, Pumpkin.

Pepper Rabbit – Red Velvet Snow Ball (2011)

Aug 10, 2011, 8:35pm Obscure Sound

"Tiny Fingers" is lush and exotic, with sounds of broken sitars, brass, and wind chimes backing a gentle acoustic strum. Like everything on Red Velvet Snow Ball, it would be the perfect accompaniment to a day of greenery – lying in the green grass, staring at the green trees swaying above you, and perhaps indulging in something that would make the sky appear green.

Happy Mondays #1

Jul 18, 2011, 10:25am Gigantic

I decided a few weeks back that I'd start doing Happy Mondays style posts on a regular basis. The idea is dead simple - post a cheery song to get the week off to a good start. When I put up a shout asking for tune suggestions there were a lot of good choices, but this was my favourite. I'll add up a load of other peoples picks in the future, but Michael Murray gets the props for this weeks selection. The song is 'No Rain' by Blind Melon . I thought it was pretty fitting for [...]

Nico Blues release new video + play with Blind Melon at Hiro Ballroom on July 1st.

Jun 6, 2011, 9:57am The Deli Magazine

The Deli is proud to premier last week's NYC Artists of the Month Nico Blues ' "Folk Song Number Two" video, the band's second one after "Living Proof" made its way through the blogosphere and onto MTV. Just wait to see it, the artsy Williamsburg kids won't be able to wrap their minds around this groundbreaking film trick: "Check it out, man, the guitar's a camera!" Take it anywhere, put it in the drum set, put it on your lap in the car, show it down the frozen food aisle, all the places your electric guitar typically wouldn't go. [...]

5 re-united bands we want to see come through Denver

May 19, 2011, 10:00am Your Music Is Awful.com

1. Blur Since they reunited with guitarist Graham Coxon to play London's Hyde Park in 2009, we have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of a US Tour.... which still has yet to come. The release of a new song. "Fool's Day" for Record Store Day in 2010, hinted that Blur may be taking the idea of functioning like a band (studio albums, tours, etc.) seriously again. Blur's lead man, Damon Albarn , swung through Denver last year as part of the [...]

Thursday: Awolnation @ The Basement (sold out)

May 11, 2011, 7:23am donewaiting.com

Before last week I had never heard any of their music nor did I know anything about Awolnation . Then, I heard that Blind Melon's guitarist Christopher Thorn will be touring as part of the band all summer so I decided it was time to learn more. Turns out the band is the brainchild of the former singer of a band called Under the Influence of Giants and that Thorn produced that band's last CD so his involvement with Awolnation makes sense.

Do you know Awolnation?

May 2, 2011, 9:16pm Atomic Ned

Never heard of this band until last week when Blind Melon's guitarist Christopher Thorn posted on Facebook that he'll be spending the summer on the road as a member of Awolnation . Turns out that the music isn't at all something I'd expect Thorn to be involved with. Techno-soul is maybe the best way to describe it though Megalithic Symphony is a pretty diverse - and danceable - affair. Fans of MGMT ("People", "Jump on My Shoulders"), The Loyal Divide ("Guilty Filthy Soul") and [...]

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony the love of rock and roll. This is the Reverend Red Hot Chili Peppers Presiding. Please rise as the wedding party approaches, grab both of your ass cheeks and just shake that shit like you don't care no more!" That's the way I see it anyways. What we got here is one balls-out jamfest of damn funky, gritty rock and roll that sounds like the result of a shotgun Tennessee nuptial of the quirk funk of Primus with [...]

Band(camp) of the Week: The Nico Blues

Jan 17, 2011, 9:11am Atomic Ned

These Jersey guys first came to my attention when they told The Aquarian Weekly that they were named after Shannon Hoon's daughter. While I was expecting to hear a Blind Melon tribute band, I was pleasantly surprised to find a mixed bag of indie rock sounds on The Nico Blues "Blame the Boredom, Blame the Basements" and if there's a Blind Melon influence in the music, I can't easily detect it. Then again, I'm not sure I agree with the bands that The Nico Blues have been compared to: [...]

After reforming with new Travis Warren in 2006 and then giving him the boot in 2008, it looks like the Blind Melon guys are going to give it another try. There's not a lot of details out there right now, but guitarist Christopher Thorn posted on Facebook that Blind Melon has booked 3 dates (2 in November, 1 in February) and the Blind Melon message board confirms those dates AND reveals that Travis will be given another shot as the lead singer. The band is said to be taking it slow and [...]
