Over the last 14 years, Pickathon Music Festival has grown into a premiere summer destination for music lovers and performers alike. Zale Schoenborn started the scrappy festival with his wife, family, and some friends, and a continued family-run mentality has kept it a unique experience. Situated on Pendarvis Farm outside of Portland, OR, Pickathon's five core organizers have designed unparalleled sustainability efforts and a community atmosphere that has musicians and fans returning year after year. With another indie-all star lineup, neigh perfected greening practices, and their projected first-ever sell-out, this year might be the festival's finest yet. [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Radiohead w/ Other Lives Thursday, March 1 Philips Arena - 1 Philips Drive in Atlanta 30303 SOLD OUT! Do I really have to sell this show? Do you really need to hear my justifications on why it's in your best interest to go see what is possibly the biggest and certainly one of the most critically adored bands on the planet? Jesus, I hope not. It would probably be more constructive if I spent a moment or two chiding audiences and a [...]

[photos by acidjack] When their debut album Stairs and Elevators dropped seven years ago, Rolling Stone described the Heartless Bastards , accurately, as a small town (well, Cincinnati, anyway) band that was ready for the big time. In 2012, with three more records under their belt, and their latest release, Arrow garnering solid-to-great reviews (The Onion's A.V. Club called it the band's best to date ), I think it's safe to say that the big time has been hit. This show at Webster Hall sold out handily, [...]

Rating: ★★★★★ Heartless Bastards is a band who is grounded in blues rock. They're defined by the earth-shattering vocals of their lead singer, Erika Wennerstrom. Up until their most recent album, the instruments just sounded like back ground music as her voice dominated their sound. Their last album, The Mountain , was a journey into banjos and folk showed an evolution from the blues rock of their first two albums. Their newest album, Arrow , is still another change in their sound. Instead of the first two [...]

The Austin based rock band Heartless Bastards has been making consistently good albums for years now but their newest attempt, Arrow , really seems to hit the mark. From the moody opener "Marathon" to the pop friendly "Parted Ways" to rock riff happy "Late In the Night" this album is chock full o' goodness. Perhaps it's Erika Wennerstrom's powerful alto or how the album itself is a perfect blend of salty, sweet, rock, blues and heartbreak, but this one has been on repeat around here since it came out. "Got to Have Rock and Roll" [...]

The Heartless Bastards paid Dave a visit this week and he genuinely seemed to enjoy them. Seven years ago I caught them at The Bottle and Erika seemed somewhat nervous on the stage. Watching her blossom over the years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Doesn't hurt that Dave Colvin, Jesse Ebaugh and Mark Nathan are phenomenal musicians in their own right and that this is the second tour they have been together. Shirk wrangled them in for a session last week which we'll be sharing shortly. In the meantime, enjoy Got To Have Rock And Roll from Late Night. [...]

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 [...]

A confident and resounding triumph for this Austin-based rock and roll outfit In an alternate musical reality, Heartless Bastards would be rewarded for their years of hard work and toil by getting the chance to tour arenas, headline Coachella and Bonnaroo, and grace the cover of Rolling Stone. If this sounds like a familiar scenario for you, it should, because it's the trajectory the Black Keys have followed over the past several years, as they have worked their two-man power blues stomp from the dirty basements of...
