Groupies, this laugh is on you. Margaret Cho's video for "Baby I'm With the Band" (from her comedy music album "Cho Dependent") was made at this year's Bonnaroo, where she romped with rock luminaries too numerous to mention. (Check out the look on Brendan Benson's face at 1:15.) It's posted here not just because we need a Friday morning chuckle, but because Cho, along with singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips, is co-emceeing a big benefit show on Sunday at Largo. "A Concert to Benefit School Music Revival," hosted by the Section Quartet , will raise funds for [...]
He's the chipper one in the band, the one who wears the iconic coke-bottle glasses and the one who can't get through an entire set without smiling ear to ear and greeting the crowd with a heart... Continue reading "Finally, A Murry Hammond-Penned Song Gets The Old 97's Some Accolades..." >
LIVE: Old 97's at the Wonder Ballroom, 1.25.11 "I'm surprised no one's had a seizure yet." Old 97's frontman Rhett Miller delivered a good-natured jab in what ended up being a running joke throughout the night: the Wonder Ballroom's newly installed stage lights, which were a cross between a KISS concert and a Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular. At one point I thought the mother ship had returned from Abell 3267 . The lights were only a slight distraction from an otherwise typically gritty and sweaty Old 97's performance. TDoL's [...]
It's no secret that The Days of Lore is cuckoo has a bit of a soft spot for the Old 97's . That said, the band's last couple of records lacked the urgency of classics like Wreck Your Life and Too Far to Care -just ask any kook who follows the band (2008's Blame It On Gravity came close, but sounded at times like they were aping some of their older material).

Anyone who knows me, or keeps up with TDoL , knows I'm a bit of an Old 97's freak fan. Why wouldn't I be? better yet-why wouldn't you be? So imagine my giddiness when I saw The Dallas Observer had dropped in on the band while they recorded basic tracks for their forthcoming record at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas. The following clip offers a nice chunk of a new tune. A song title in "Every Night Is Friday Night Without You." And a ghost story from bassist Murry Hammond . [...]

Sometimes indie-rock gets a little much. Too much synth, too much reverb, too much everything. That's when you need those fall-back records; something that you can listen to that reminds you of nothing modern at all. These two country records have recently brought me through the times that I couldn't stand one more goddamn noise punk record. One album was made a long time ago, and the other was shockingly made this year. See the records after the jump. Murry Hammond [...]
I own both of Rhett Miller's recent solo albums-full of well-written pop songs with slick production that coulda shoulda woulda worked their way into the VH1 rotation. After hearing them it was obvious that Rhett Miller needs the rest of the Old 97's , just as they need him. But unless you're an insane (!) Old 97's fan, you probably don't know that 2002's The Instigator and 2006's The Believer were not Miller's first solo efforts ... It was exactly 20 years ago [...]

I'm an unabashed fan of the Old 97's , especially they're older records (everyone in their right mind should own a copy of Wreck Your Life ), and I'm notorious for forcing others to listen, sometimes at gunpoint, until they come around. The band's latest offering Blame It On Gravity received glowing reviews from loads of mags, rags and blogs ... even the tastemakers at Pitchfork called the band's single "Dance With Me" their best in years.

You might recall a while back when I reviewed I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm On My Way , Old 97's bassist Murry Hammond's fine solo debut. I, like a lot of other folks , went ga ga over the album's potent mix of old school religion and psychedelic folk/pop. Well, I've just been informed by Hammond's publicist, Cary Baker, that the CD gets a national release on August 18. "Yeah, the perils of soft release vs. national release," says Baker, who realizes folks [...]

So, long-time readers of "Ain't Superstitious, But..." will know that I usually don't post things about new or upcoming releases, because of my annual "15 of the Best" roundup that comes in December -- don't want to threat reposting songs (gasp!). But every once in awhile there's reason to write about what's coming up and get excited, and as the evil Rolling Stone (it's not a good magazine, it's not a good website, it's not even a good blog) has done it's "Here's what you can get excited about this summer" writeup of upcoming releases, it's time to [...]

Tonight! Murry Hammond of Old 97's at Off Broadway

A to Zin this week's paper, Roy Kasten chatted with Murry Hammond of the Old 97's, who will be at Off Broadway tonight in support of his new solo album, I Don't Know Where I'm Going But I'm On My Way. Roy's entire interview is here -- and he says Way "sounds nothing like the supercharged honky-tonk and rockabilly he brought to the Texas band. It's a spare, eerie gospel record with a heavy railroad jones, played on acoustic guitar and harmonium, with some spectral yodeling and songs that cross the [...]
