Why am I saying that b.FUNK can be the next generation's version of the legendary Roots crew? Not only do I believe that and a couple other hip-hop/alternative band's (like Zoo Legacy) having that potential, but according to b.FUNK, the B.B. King Club agrees! But I always believe the music can speak for itself, so here's b.FUNK's [...]

The Avett Brothers / Stage AE (Outdoors) / 5.20.2012 / Doors 7:00 / $38 Words by Jim The Avett Brothers are a damn good band. How can you not like these dudes? They make catchy, interesting, evolving rootsy music you can't help but sing along to. They've been at it for 12 years now and it seems like they know what they're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you might say they aren't indie anymore, but who cares! These guys worked hard, did it right, [...]
Trampled By Turtles + These United States / Mr. Small's / 04.14.2012 / Doors 8:00 / $18 Words by Jim We were spoiled little children this winter. No snowstorms to bitch about. No howling winds and whiteout conditions to worry about after work. The roads were mostly dry. The sidewalks always clear except for a few random days. It's now April and we made it out of a Pittsburgh winter with our winter coats collecting dust in the hallway closet. I think we're safely into spring so [...]

![Yukon Blonde – Tiger Talk [Album Review + Chicago Ticket Giveaway]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4159462_lg.jpg)
Vancouver band Yukon Blonde performed sets at SXSW that can turn casual bystanders into fans for life. A good friend of ours, affectionately known as SafariMan, rode his rented bike across town to catch them at The San Jose and declared that it would be his best set of SXSW. And that was on Thursday afternoon. And while I enjoyed their EP, I remained skeptical that the band was that amazing. They were on my "maybe" list for SXSW, but then I changed gears and went to catch them at some Canadian party on 6th with our HearYa [...]

Cursive + Cymbals Eat Guitars + Conduits / Mr. Small's / 03.18.2012 / Doors 7:00 / $16 Words by Brendan There must be something in the water in Omaha. There have been so many great bands from that Nebraska city, and there are plenty more on the up-and-up. Case in point: shoegaze gloom-pop band Conduits . They're putting out their first LP this month and heading on a cross-country tour with two great rock bands- Cursive (fellow Omahans!) and Cymbals Eat Guitars -and they're [...]

Fanfarlo + Gardens & Villa / Mr. Smalls Theatre / 3.25.2012 / Doors 7:00 / $15 Words by Jim I don't have any idea where or when I first heard Fanfarlo . It had to have been shortly after their debut album Reservoir came out because the band definitely had a buzz about them. The songs were terrific - delightfully indie pop with a streak of folk that retained originality without being over the top or gimmicky. Those are all really nice [...]

A Best of 2012 Selection This One You Need to Own "The Single Best New Album I've Heard in Six Months." There is something fundamentally right with singer Erika Wennestrom's delivery. Sometimes the words bounce from her mouth playfully, but make no mistake - this is no pop band. "Fiery" s another, perhaps as apt, adjective to describe her songwriting and her style. Much of what we hear on the [...]
