Mike Golden & Friends: “Keep Movin’ ”

Apr 16, 11:58pm Ruby Hornet

It's been a while since we've heard from Mike Golden & Friends on RubyHornet. Mike hit us with a new track " Keep Movin' " after a year long hiatus on new music. You might remember Mike from his collabs with Rockie Fresh, YP and ProbCause, a few RH regulars. Since MG&F first official release, "Groceries", I've been a fan of their music and especially their live performances. MG&F has kept busy playing college campuses and venues like the House of Blues and The Metro in Chicago. Since it's release, "Keep Movin' [...]

Live Preview: Pacific Air & Ra Ra Riot - The Metro - Chicago

Mar 1, 9:30am Fake Plastic Tunes

Tomorrow night sparks an intense month of live music, as some of the artists who have released new albums in 2013 begin to embark on tours. There's a lot of them, but one of the most notable groups is Ra Ra Riot, who are on a nationwide tour supporting Beta Love which was released last month (check out FPT 's review of the album here). I've never seen RRR live before, and it is to my chagrin to admit that I've had plenty of opportunities to do so. I'm intrigued to see what the [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs @ Metro Theatre

Jan 24, 9:04pm A Reminder

Prior to Tuesday night's Yeah Yeah Yeahs show at the Metro, I had not seen the New York trio since 2004. Eight and a half years ago. 1. I am old. 2. That is a LONG time between shows. It's not like the band haven't been active in that time, just bad timing on my part (whenever they were in Australia I was in Canada on a holiday). Despite the years, I still had incredible memories of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live experience from the two shows I saw when they were supporting [...]

of Montreal Live At The Metro

Dec 20, 2012, 9:52am Violent Success

I wasn’t a fan of of Montreal until a friend gave me a cassette tape of False Priest . I was driving an Oldsmobile without a CD player at the time and aside from a mix of polka songs I inherited with the car, it was the only cassette tape I had so I listened to it nonstop. When I heard they would be in Chicago on December 9 at the Metro , I jumped on the chance to see them without so much as checking who the opening bands would be. [...]

Dec 10, 2012, 4:45pm everyday junglist

Nostalgic Futurisms LP - Various Artists (MJAZZLP09) As we draw nearer to the holidays, contrary to my words last week, things are starting to wind down in the world of drum and bass music. After a flurry of releases last, this week is comparatively quiet. There are a few bits knocking around though. Lynx makes his return to Soul:r after some time doing his own thing (more on that in the next week or so) and the northern trio of Sato, Phobia and Tyrone under their Chroma guise, hit the big [...]

Tame Impala plays sold-out Metro show Tuesday

Nov 12, 2012, 5:20pm All the Young Punks

Australia's Tame Impala is playing a sold-out show Tuesday night at Metro . My guess is these guys will be playing a much larger venue when they return to Chicago for another gig. Check out the band's website and you'll see a number of sold-out shows. Tame Impala's latest album, Lonerism , was just released last month. Here's a just-released video of Feels Like We Only Go Backwards from the album.
