The day after all the inauguration hoopla, it's pretty calm around town, but there is one show in Baltimore you should not forget about. The Talking Head has The Honey Brothers and Jason Dove/Vacation Face - don't miss it. If you're up north in Philly there is plenty to do tonight. The World Cafe Live has the WXPN Musicians On Call Benefit with Rachael Yamagata, Andrew Lipke, and Matt Duke. Johnny Brenda's has The Virgins (who are pretty darn good live) and Lissy Trullie. Finally over at Kungfu Knecktie Pissed Jeans and Fucked Up will tear [...]
Tonight in Baltimore is Feet night at the Baltimore Round Robin at Sonar featuring the infamous Dan Deacon with The Death Set, Video Hippos, Blood Baby, Nuclear Power Pants, Double Dagger, DJ Dog Dick, Future Islands, Lizz King, Smart Growth, Height, and Adventure.

Down in DC the Red and the Black has a great one with E. Joseph and [...]
Evan Dando (Credit: Artist's Myspace) Gifts are coming to the IA area a few days early. A great lineup of shows this weekend. Quite a few big names are rolling through the area to make your holidays bright. The fighting Gallagher brothers have somehow not killed each other yet and put out a new album, Dig Out Your Soul , in October. Now Oasis is touring the states, hitting the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden Friday and the Patriot Center at GMU Saturday. Will it be a great show or a fist fight [...]

Also in Charm City is a great live band, Telesma, who perform at Metro Gallery . Down in DC The Sea and Cake play the Black Cat with Death Vessel. Finally up north in Philadelphia, Like A Fox and BC Camplight play Johnny Brenda's, while Drive-By Truckers and The Hold Steady play the Electric Factory . You don't want to miss David Byrne who plays the [...]
The weekend is almost here, but don't let Friday's classes or work schedule keep you from going out tonight. Plenty of bands to see, so get out there. It's Feet Night for the Baltimore Round Robin Tour at the Starlight Ballroom in Philly. How does this work? Pretty simple, you the fan are in the middle of a circle, surrounded by all the bands. One plays a song then moves on to the next and so on. If you experienced last nights Eyes Night, you [...]

Tonight in Baltimore, Metro Gallery has the Ed Schrader show with Jason Dove performing. If you can't make that one, perhaps you should consider shuffling on down to Virginia to catch Annuals, and Hymns playing Iota. That's all! mp3: Jason Dove - 2600 mp3: Annuals - Brother
Holy crap there's a multitude of events set to happen tonight! In Baltimore you should definitely swing on down to the Talking Head to check out some local favorites, Jason Dove, Caleb Stine, Finn Riggins, and Infinite Honey. If you're in DC you have a tough choice. You can go to the Black Cat to see Les Savy Fav, The Dodos, and The Big Sleep, or the Rock and Roll Hotel for Beach House and Papercuts, or the Velvet Lounge to see HEALTH, The Apes, and Womanhood. You [...]
There are a great plethora of shows tonight. Usually this never happens on a Sunday, but this is a crazy world we live in, isn't it?

Wow. That's all I can say about the shows going on tonight. At the Lo-Fi in Baltimore a serious rock and roll show is happening. There is no doubt that Le Rug, Pianowire, Screaming Females, and Abiku will tear it down. Also in B-more, the Talking Head plays host to Jason Dove & The Magic Whip, Prabir & The Substitutes, Frenemies, and Labianca. Up in Philly there are two great shows. At the North Star Bar, The What Monsters play along with Infinica, Falkonr, and Triggers. Finally at the Fire there is an [...]
If you still have some energy and money left over from this grand shopping day, there are some solid shows going on around the area. In DC They Might Be Giants and Oppenheimer take on the 9:30 Club while Prefuse 73, Blank Blue, and School of Seven Bells electrify the Black Cat . In Baltimore you can check out some great indie rock down at the Ottobar with Jason Dove and the Magic Whip, Monarch, and Yukon. Enjoy! mp3: They Might Be Giants - The Mesopotamians [...]
Let's be honest. If you want to get your record reviewed by me, simply let me know that J Robbins was involved. It will work every time, ask Jason Dove . Dove is a Baltimore musician who somehow manages to mix 60's pop, dreamy atmospheres and grungy textures seamlessly. His debut record - We Should Be Together - was produced and recorded J Robbins, but he doesn't fit the mold of the bands you'd normally associate with the Desoto records founder. The record opens with the ukulele driven title track, a [...]
