Nov 21, 2011, 11:27am Hidden Track

Two years after a fire tore through Athens' Georgia Theatre on the day Perpetual Groove was set to perform at the famed venue, the HT faves threw down two sets on Friday night that very well may have been worth the wait. As expected, past and future PGroove keyboardist Matt McDonald was on hand and joined the band for fan-favorite Bobblehead Funk at the end of set one and a Speed Queen sandwich in set two that contained a debut cover of Consolers of the Lonely by The Raconteurs and a brief run through Faith No More's Epic.

Catskill Chill Music Festival: 2011 Lineup (UM, Conspirator, Break Science & more…)

Aug 29, 2011, 9:52pm Live Music Blog

One of the music festivals that can often get overlooked amidst a sea of the bigger OSL's and ACL's of the world is the upstate New York gem known as Catskill Chill Music Festival . We've written about the festival in the past and would be remiss to not mention this mini-festival again in 2011. This year's lineup is stacked with some jamband middleweights like Umphrey's McGee, but following right behind are the untz-Bisco stylings of Conspirator and the Dead-based nostalgia funk thing called 7 Walkers (with the Grateful Dead's Bill Kreutzmann at [...]

LMB NYC: This Week's Concert Calendar – Aug 16 – 22, 2011

Aug 16, 2011, 12:00pm Live Music Blog

This week's NYC Concert Calendar seems a tad quieter than last week's....which makes it seemingly a perfect week to highlight a bunch of smaller, intimate shows that are going on in town. In last week's post I already flagged Music for Money , specifically for fans of Battles and Tortoise. Those guys continue their run of NYC shows this week. But if you're looking for another interesting instrumental band, I'd also hit Delicate Steve et al at the Morgan....those dudes are all over the map sonically, but a lot [...]

We'd like to congratulate Perpetual Groove for winning our Cover Wars March Madness tournament for the second year in a row. The group's cover of Macca's Live and Let Die had a tough road to the title this year as it was selected as a "play-in" contender putting it at the bottom of the bracket, but they came out on top no matter which HT fave they went up against. PGroove's Live and Let Die beat classics such as Hey Jude by Wilson Pickett, The Band's Baby Don't [...]

Jan 6, 2011, 1:00pm Hidden Track

December 31st is the biggest night for live music of the year. An argument might be made for Halloween, but I'm not buying it. Your non-live-music-loving-friends don't say things like, "Halloween is the most anti-climactic day of the year" while you sit there and just snicker. We've been a little Phish heavy this week so let's take a look at how 24 other bands rang in 2011. Side Note: This was my first time using embedded images from setlist.fm and I must say it looks super slick. That site has really got it going on, [...]
