It is two years to the day that Vic Chesnutt left us by his own hand. Vic and his work is fondly remembered here. This is a day of celebration and family for many but for some it is a desperate time. For musicians in need, there are resources to help. Nuci's Space in Athens Georgia is one that we recommend without hesitation.

I don't think there is too much explaining to do with this one. Armin and Ferry collaborating is a guaranteed trance hit. I'm pretty sure this song was voted #1 in Corsten's Countdown 3 weeks in a row. Once again not much explaining to do just an awesome track released today on Flashover Recordings . Purchase: Beatport
You have to love synchronicity. While on our supporting B.B. King last year, Los Angeles songstress Rachael Cantu had a little dressing-room jam with guitarist Harlan Silverman (the Alex in Alex and Sam , as well as the gifted guy who plays with the Belle Brigade and Mayer Hawthorne). The more Silverman tickled the strings, and the more Cantu sang, the more evident it became that there was some real chemistry. Little Brutes were born. Merely a studio project for now, Little Brutes just released their debut EP , which, not unlike Cantu's solo [...]
April 30, 2011 Due to a logistical error (the word "upstairs" being rather too small on the event poster and missing from other communications), I'm completely unable to report on the first night of this so you'll need to look elsewhere for blow-by-blow accounts of The Men From Uncle Dad , Charles Randolph Rivers Slim Rythym Revue , Keith Douglas & The Corps of Discovery , Hidden Masters , The Fnords and The Thanes but I've been assured by a trusted source that at least the final third of the [...]
Brute is the collaborative output of Vic Chesnutt and Widespread Panic . Their shared Athens, GA roots allowed for a beautiful concoction. Vic's lyrics absolutely burst to life out in front of Widespread Panic's musical prowess. Their first recording together, Nine High A Pallet (1995) has been almost all I've listened to since receiving from a friend while rounding out my Vic Chesnutt discography. It's that good. It would be over seven years before Chesnutt would again team with Panic under the Brute moniker. [...]
On Friday, we brought you the rather sad news of the passing of singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt who died at the all too young age of 45. Chesnutt's name is familiar to jamband fans as he had a longstanding relationship with fellow Athens-based act Widespread Panic over the years, releasing two fantastic albums with the Southern jam-titans under the moniker Brute - 1995's Nine High A Pallet and 2002's Co-Balt - both of which contain songs that remain in Panic's live repertoire. [...]
THE BRUTES - Self Titled EP The Brutes self titled EP is a frantic foray into Rock-Pop ala The Killers, Blur and Costello. Stand out singer as well as guitarist Gregg Garvey balances poetic, brooding lines with playful hooks and crunchy, catchy riffs. Bass, drums and guitars: 3.89 out of 5 stars. The EP sounds like [...]
