Words by Jim Sometimes a song just grabs you by the hair and yanks you around a bit. Let's be honest. We all love music a whole hell of a lot and if you're like us you listen to a lot of different stuff all the time. With Genius mixes and Last.fm scrobbling and all that jazz, it's a real testament when I find myself hitting repeat over and over again on the same song. In my car. ON A CD!? Yeah. Seriously. That's what happened with The Wooden Sky and [...]
I'm heading to Chicago tonight to experience Lincoln Hall for the first time. It's been years since I've seen Akron/Family live and I've also heard great things about the opener Delicate Steve . But first, we're swinging by Schubas to check out Juniper Tar's set. Though it's early in the year Akron/Family's S/T II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT has quickly risen to the top of the stuff I've heard this year. There's a great video of [...]
hey folks...i'm in a pretty chipper mood today, mostly because i'll be headed up to the glorious schubas chicago with a whole bunch of good pals to catch juniper tar opening for the deep dark woods. the only purpose of this post is to make you jealous that i am going, and you (most likely) are not. booyah!

You're welcome. ** Muzzle of Bees alerts us to the fact that favorites Juniper Tar are playing three dates with other favorites, the Deep Dark Woods , in cities that are [...]

It is 6:30 am in the Midwest. The light is just now peeking over the trees in the backyard and through the limbs of the tree that I hate (the only tree for which I've ever held any disdain). I am awake. But my eyes are still closed. I am taking in "Innerstates" and it only seems right to do so with eyelids down, blocking out that light that's waking alongside my coffee and I. My head might be swaying side to side, at this half-awake hour. And now it certainly is. In a short hour [...]
We're pretty damn excited to be hosting tonight's triple bill of Frontier Ruckus , David Wax Museum , and Juniper Tar at the Cactus Club . Tickets are $10 and Juniper Tar kicks things off at 10pm. We're expecting a big turnout, advance tickets are available . MP3: Frontier Ruckus - "The Upper Room" MP3: Juniper Tar - "Via Chicago"
Here's another completely random collection of tunes for your consumption. Most of these tracks made their way into my inbox, but didn't make it into a specific post. I find them all to be quite enjoyable and they have the unique ability to cure hangovers, induce euphoria, and bring about a general sense of camaraderie. As always you can download the tracks you like or take the whole zip file at the bottom, enjoy! The War On Drugs - "Comin' Through" [...]
Wisco: A Tribute To Wilco's Summerteeth — a music compilation featuring our favorite Wisconsin artists each covering a track off of Wilco's 1999 LP , Summerteeth . I am honored to provide you with our labor of love. The state of Wisconsin is overflowing with musical talent. So much more than could ever be captured in just one compilation like this. That being said, I thought about the records that meant the most to me. Ones that I absolutely could [...]

So we typically toss a video at you, tell you why we think it's awesome, and let you draw your own conclusion. Sometimes we throw a change-up...strike that - let's call it a round up. All of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines . So I won't be telling you much about the bands themselves, just my musings of what I think about the videos. Hold on to your hats! Mountain Man - "Sewee Sewee" [...]
Well, I'm finally back from Florida and things have calmed down a little bit here at the CYSTSFTS homestead, so I'm finally getting around to sharing these pictures and videos of Milwaukee's mighty Juniper Tar from their performance at Schubas two weeks ago. The band was amazing and even better live than on their records (which is saying something) and just blew both me and the wife away. After seeing them I'm so excited for their new album (which should be recorded this [...]

Juniper Tar , "Innerstates" As you can probably tell from my This Week In Chicago post earlier this week, I'm pretty excited about the amount of music we have here in town this weekend. The Do Division Fest alone features 28 different bands over 2 days, including several personal favorites of mine ( The Night Marchers , Jason Isbell , Maritime ). But the band that I'm actually most excited about seeing this weekend is Milwaukee's Juniper Tar , who are opening for The [...]
Our friends in Juniper Tar and Strand of Oaks head out on tour together later this month and will be followed by Hi-Frequency Media documentary style. If you're seen the video for " Black Pain Tea " you have a good idea of what type of results can come of this collaboration as they collectively travel East. Here's where you come in. Please toss some of your spare change, in any amount, towards offsetting the costs of making this video happen. There's a lot of time [...]

If the sporadic posting around these parts isn't at least a little bit of an indicator, I've been a little burned out on music blogging for the past few months. No reason other than just relaxing and doing nothing has seemed like a much better option than wading through the piles of stuff littering my desk and my hard drive. I've been doing this thing pretty regularly for almost 5 years now... just me. Regardless of how motivated I am (or not) or have been, I feel truly compelled to tell you about the phenomenal Milwaukee band [...]
