EMILY WELLS, TIMMY STRAW ( Doug Fir , 830 E Burnside) When considering New York-based Emily Wells, one cannot help but observe, in awe, the amount of sounds that can emit from one woman. Beginning as a classically trained violinist, Wells merges perfectly the well-groomed nuances of symphonic grandeur with the undeniably carnal, primal pulse of heavy hiphop beats, in cooperation with whatever other devices might exist to help her achieve looped sonic bliss. Wells' relatively quiet internet presence depicts her as blurry and enigmatic. Not to mention the scant recordings; she has only three official [...]
Words, videos and photos by Brendan Sullivan This past year, I witnessed somewhere between 80 and 90 concerts, depending on your definition of what qualifies as a "concert" and also on my list-making abilities and forgetfulness. I can't think of any that I genuinely hated. I can think of some that were lackluster, some that I had high hopes for that let me down, some that were fun at the time but leave me with nothing stellar to write about now, and some that were really good but didn't quite make the grade.

Kevin Seconds has announced a run of tour dates beginning tonight. Many of the shows will feature David Dondero and Kevin will also be performing at the Troubadour in Los Angeles with Bouncing Souls and American Steel.
The above photo is of the Palm House in Edinburgh's Botanic Gardens, and was taken and passed on to me by Dylan, of Blueback Hotrod legend. And given that the weather outside is all kinds of shit I thought there would be a sort of bitter irony in using it today. See - that's how nice Edinburgh can be, so what the fuck is this pissing rain all about? Anyhow, traditional British whingeing aside, it's going to be a pretty bloody mental week this week. Thursday is going to be a particular swine, what with the awesome David [...]
This week goes from 0 to 60 in about 5 shows: ► British songstress Adele , who postponed L.A. dates in June because of a bout of laryngitis, brings the songs from her Top 10 album "213 to the Greek Theatre, a show rescheduled from June 6. That's her video for "Rolling in the Deep," above. She visits the Palladium on Wednesday. ► Fresh from an appearance at Outside Lands, Little Dragon headlines the Roxy. The Swedes released their third album "Ritual Union" last month. ► South Carolina-bred songstress Nikki [...]
Last Saturday's (August 6) show at the Tipsy Teapot was a special treat as Lonnie Walker, David Dondero, and Old Bricks took the stage. Summertime in Greenville can be hit or miss for an event like this, but a good crowd was present from the beginning and slowly grew through the night. photo credit: Laura Lama David Dondero started the night, which was a bit of surprise to many of the fans in attendance and members of Old [...]
Today's Edition: David Dondero and Lonnie Walker at Tipsy this week, 24 Reasons to love the Pacific Festival, considerations of interest, and VIDEOS! David Dondero joining Lonnie Walker at the Tipsy on 8/6 Lonnie Walker ( check out our previous feature on LW ) is an old favorite of Greenvillean hipsters, punks, and ne'er do wells (present company included) who frequent the indie scene here, but David Dondero is a name that might escape that same group.

Photo courtesy of Hugh Twyman Words by Brendan It's another one of those weekends coming up. You know, the kind where there's way too much to do and looking at the concert schedule makes you just wanna bounce around town all evening and see everything all at once. Is it just me? I bet not, because there are plenty of choices for live music in the next few days, you're bound to find something you like. Stream some mp3s right off the bat and read [...]
O'Death @ The Echo A NIGHT OUT WITH O'DEATH, DAVID DONDERO & FRANZ NICOLAY @ THE ECHO On a night full of confessions, reflections, and parables, Brooklyn band O'Death kept the feet busy and the mind moving with the magic of their bluegrass punk-rock efforts. Franz Nicolay who opened his set with " the only mariachi disco tribute song to a dead superhero " summed up the evening best when he said " Coming up next, David Dondero will break your heart, and after that O'Death will put it back [...]
O'DEATH, DAVID DONDERO, AND FRANZ NICOLAY ON WEDNESDAY MAR. 23RD AT THE ECHO, 1822 WEST SUNSET BOULEVARD, LOS ANGELES. 8:30PM/ $12/ 18+
O'Dear - O'Death tonight @ The Echo Banjo-rock is underrated these days, but Brooklyn's O'DEATH make it sound as hip as Williamsburg, errr, Greenpoint, errr Bushwick? Who cares, the band is amazing and they bring their Appalachian-vibed folk rock to The Echo tonight. They are about to release ' Outside ', a full-length on Ernest Jenning Record Co. on 4/19, so this is the live listening party for that as they blaze threw some early standouts like " Bugs " and " Black Dress " from this effort. DAVID [...]
One of my favorite songwriters, David Dondero , will be coming back to the Hi-Dive in Denver on April 6th . Here's last year's Denver performance. David has released two albums in the past year, both worth checking out: # Zero with a Bullet and A Pre-existing Condition .

photos by Dominick Mastrangelo "Gene Ween closed the night with a set that boasted numerous Ween songs as well as a cover of Fiddler on the Roof's "If I Were a Rich Man" that featured the house group's string section. In addition to the show's house band, Ween's set featured accompaniment from longtime Ween bassist Dave Dreiwitz." [ jambands.com ] First of all, sorry for the delay in this post - I was originally waiting for some video (coming soon!), and then I just fell behind. [...]
It's a stop on the endless road, a snapshot in time -- not as driven as his other albums, but just as devoted to the way songs can chronicle the lives of people and places. The cover photo is of David Dondero in a trucker cap and flannel shirt, in front of a silo of some kind, looking solemn. You can read hardship into his expression. It could be a news photo for an article about the state of working class America. Times are hard. But look, in the background, there's a rainbow. A Pre-Existing Condition is an album [...]
Saturday fucking night. What to do, what to do? I was torn between going to see a friend's band at a house show, going to see thrash legends D.R.I at the Troc, or going to see the one man hi-jinks of Franz Nicolay. After some deep pondering, I decided to head out to Philly's Kung Fu Necktie to see the mustachioed man.David Dondero:When I got into the small bar, David Dondero was on stage

The Crapcast is so named because I am in one of the dingiest hotel rooms I have ever been in. In isn't even entertainingly bad, which would be something, just like being dressed in clothes from Marks and Spencer and being trapped inside a grey cardboard box listening to Keane's greatest hits. Anyhow, the shower was really good, and I can forgive almost any other atrocity in a hotel room, as long as the shower is hot and the pressure is good. Anyhow, I am abandoning the Hotel of Beige for a friend's house tonight, and [...]
