Sonic New York

Nov 1, 2011, 5:50am Obscure Sound

Despite the fact that you don't hear a lot pertaining to the Carolina Chocolate Drops on mainstream radio, they are Grammy winners. So it's not terribly surprising that one if its founding members, Rhiannon Giddens, has a new project creating quite the buzz: Sonic New York. I recently had the pleasure of attending Sonic New [...]

Jason Webley Violitionist Session

Oct 11, 2011, 9:34am Subservient Experiment

It is more than tempting to use at least one post a week to point folks over to the Violitionist website, as they are posting awesomely exclusive intimate live vids and questions with bands on a very consistent basis. Much like the annoyingly high-pitched whine of tinnitus, which I'm currently plagued with, I realize that by harping on the same points over and over it becomes increasingly easier to tune out. This week, however, the dudes behind the site have landed perhaps their most exclusive bit of content yet: Jason Webley (who most know as the non-Amanda [...]

Live: Jason Webley at the Mercury Cafe, Denver

Jul 12, 2011, 11:00am The Ruckus

I made the decision to go to this show about twenty-four hours in advance. This probably doesn't seem like a big thing to most of you, but my schedule is booked weeks (and often sometimes months) in advance. In part because I have to seek some permissions to photograph a show and in part because I have an incredibly busy schedule. Somehow I missed the fact that Jason Webley was coming through town until the last minute. A good friend of mine has been raving about his live shows for ages and it isn't [...]

LIVE REVIEW: Monsters of Accordion Tour featuring Jason Webley @ Slim's 12/18/10

Dec 20, 2010, 3:05pm The Owl Mag

The accordion: Not the most glamorous instrument of the century but certainly one that is underestimated in its emotiveness and its ability to transform people from drunken individuals into twirling, swirling drunken masses. This is in fact what every Jason Webley performance does.

Monsters of Accordion - McMenamin's Kennedy School Theater (Portland, OR; Dec. 17, 2010)

Dec 19, 2010, 8:22pm melophobe

Before attending Thursday night's Monsters of Accordion show at McMenamin's Kennedy School Theater, Jason Webley was the only member of the lineup that I had ever heard of. But by the end of the night, it was clear that everyone in the room was in love with every musician that performed that night. First up was Portland's own Eric Stern , an incredible showman best known for his involvement with Portland's Vagabond Opera and for composing the full-length opera "Queen of Knives." Stern strapped on his accordion and mounted the stomp box used [...]

Cover Wars: In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

Jun 30, 2010, 1:00pm Hidden Track

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is the title track from the 1998 Neutral Milk Hotel indie classic . Such a classic that Pitchfork gave it a perfect 10.0 . Well, they gave the reissue a perfect 10. Some call it the most important indie album of all-time, only a select few super-hip fans of the genre wouldn't put it in a Top 5 list, though saying that Neutral Milk Hotel is overrated is also popular. Point is, if you didn't know of this band, album or song until Phish covered it last week - go [...]

Concert Review: Amanda Palmer Living Room Show

May 27, 2010, 7:11pm Swan Fungus

Until last week I didn't know who Amanda Palmer was. I remember vaguely learning of the Dresden Dolls years ago, and might have watched them perform once on Conan O'Brien or another late-night show when I was in college. Still, I couldn't place her as a member of that band, nor have I ever heard any of her solo work. Her online bio was intriguing and the concert was to occur in some friends' living room, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Naturally, these things are bound to happen when one reaches the forefront of the rock community. [...]

Gaba Kulka & Amander Palmer: Delilah Video

May 6, 2010, 10:58am Muruch

Those who attended Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley's performance in Prague last night received a special treat - Polish singer-songwriter Gaba Kulka opened the show, served as "elephant puppet operator," and also sang a duet of "Delilah" with Amanda Palmer (video below). If you've found this post searching for information on Gaba Kulka (formerly known as Gabriela Kulka), I've reviewed all of her albums over the past 10 years and I can't recommend her music enough. Gaba's most recent album Hat, Rabbit was my #4 of 2009 and also made [...]

Gogol Bordello – Transcontinental Hustle (2010)

Apr 26, 2010, 12:00pm Obscure Sound

Gogol Bordello are unarguably one of the finest live acts today. Like its predecessors, their fifth album struggles to maintain the band's uniquely spontaneous energy through some interesting choices in production. Their stellar songwriting, however, remains prevalent.

A Brechtian punk cabaret singer and her accordion-strapped cohort made a less edgy, more twee puppet viral video than the Muppets ? [...]
