Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News For a punk singer-songwriter, Ted Leo has written his fair share of lengthy tunes. But Sunday night at the Matador 21 birthday concert in Las Vegas, when Leo said "we've got two more" despite there being at least 15 minutes left in his allotted set, you knew something was up. There was. First, an epic, thrashing take on the 'Hearts of Oak' live favorite 'Ballad of a Sin Eater,' Leo [...]
The Jesus of Cool has dropped five mostly unheralded records since the '90s.Of course, even in his heyday, Nick Lowe was something of a low-key rock star. Perhaps his most famous contributions to the cannon are his behind-the-scenes work as producer for most of Elvis Costello's best work. Even in 1978 when Jesus of Cool was released, Lowe preferred wry irony and down-to-earth songwriting — a bit idiosyncratic for the bombastic seventies of rockstardom. Dig My Mood finds an older Lowe still delivering both, albeit with a somewhat more sincere sound. Embracing his inner-crooner [...]
Hope everyone had an awesome Labor Day Weekend! I have absolutely no idea how this completely inane song got in my head, but at some point over my weekend, whether it was at the wedding I attended or the faux-swanky hotel I hung out at in DC with friends, it did. I have absolutely never understood this song. If you're being cruel, aren't you just being…cruel? How is that kind? I also thought it was kind of cheesy, from the instrumentation choices to the tone of the lead singer's voice…and yet, it's completely stuck in [...]
I seem to be on this late 702s power pop kick lately and Tropical Sleep continue that kick. Tropical Sleep is the latest vehicle of Dan Wood who's previous band the Pets set the bar pretty high with their Misdirection album. Talk about an album packed full of two minute blasts that are kinda Kiss and kinda Cheap Trick . It's pretty relentless, but in a good way. The first Tropical Sleep single comes in the latest batch of Trouble In Mind singles and reminds me a [...]

British songwriter Nick Lowe will bring a full band to the states for the first time this millennium. The U.S. line-up will feature Geraint Watkins (keyboards), Robert Trehern (drums), Johnny Scott (guitar) and Matt Radford (bass). Lowe debuted as a solo artist with Jesus of Cool/Pure Pop for Now People in 1978. In recent years, Lowe has continued with his solo albums - The Impossible Bird, Dig My Mood, The Convincer and most recently, At My Age . With that in mind the three albums preceding At My Age – [...]
Abbey Drucker So yes, it was a wonderful little vacation, thanks for asking. Lots of sun (maybe too much), friends (never too much), good food and not a little shopping. And since it was a long weekend on both sides of the 49th, there wasn't a whole lot of interesting stuff showing up in the inbox but there was some, including the fact that School Of Seven Bells had begun streaming their new record Disconnect From Desire at Rolling Stone , more than [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News As befits an in-store gig, Ted Leo worked two semi-obscure late-'70s British power-pop songs into his performance Thursday night at New York City's Generation Records. Whichever fan was wedged against the "Various Artists" section of the shop's used-CD racks might have picked up 'Teenage Kicks,' the first volume in Rhino Records' 'DIY' series, and seen both tracks listed: Nick Lowe 's 'So It Goes' and Eddie and the Hot Rods ' 'Do Anything You Wanna Do.'

As the eve of a new year has taken us by storm... Wait, it's not 2009 anymore? Never you mind. We proceed anyway, taking time out to remember a film centered solely on New Year - and Elvis Costello, Dave Chappelle, and Courtney Love (say that in one sentence with a straight face). There is no gooey center to an ensemble cast of familiar faces hustling about New York on the eve of 1982. Entertaining in doses, the 1999 critic bomb 200 Cigarettes is a twenty-something clusterfuck and unintentional sequel to Can't Hardly Wait (the movie, [...]
where is the beauty in perfection i ask you? oscar wilde says, i have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful. oscar wilde says, it is better to be beautiful than to be good, but it is better to be good than to be ugly. oscar wilde. what does he know, that jailhouse sodomite. what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? nick [...]

Nick Lowe is back on the road this October
While Nick Lowe touring isn't anything unusual, there's something special about his upcoming North American trek. For the first time this millennium, the legendary songwriter will be playing with a full band. So what's the occasion for this trek? It may be the September 21st release of three of his later albums - The Impossible Bird , Dig My Mood , and The Convincer - on vinyl for the first time ever via Yep Roc . Whatever the case, the tour will launch on October 1st, when Lowe teams up with [...]
Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe host one-night charity event
Musicians can be fickle entities; sometimes no amount of fame, money, or fan support can elicit a response. But somehow a well arranged charity event can pull at the most rigid of heart strings. This year alone, Gilmour reunited with Waters , Jeff Mangum came out of hiding , The Who performed a trial run of Quadrophenia , and almost everyone with a mic tried to raise money for Haiti . The latest example will in the form of Elvis Costello and his former producer Nick Lowe , as the two music legends will [...]

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass drops 2010 lineup
Every year in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, there is a music festival that brings together hundreds of thousands of people and is a proven success - and it's not Outside Lands. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the name, and the free three-day fest is in its 10th year. And judging by the lineup that dropped last night, this may be one of its best years. The names that stand out are frankly shocking gets for a free and ticketless festival: Joan Baez, Elvis Costello and the Sugarcanes, and the Godmother of Punk herself, Patti Smith. Other [...]
