The Wakarusa Music Festival has had its share of troubles since day one when it started out in Lawrence, Kansas. Harassment by the local police, rent hikes of 800%, and an unrealistic attendance cap that could have been doubled (if the locals realized what was good for their town's economy) all plagued the small fest's organizers. There was even a nearby college that should have meant longevity for this small event, but shady local politics kicked the organizers out. Luckily they managed to find a small private piece of land just south in Ozark, Arkansas. The land is [...]
I've got a set of festival announcements that I wanted to post and comment on a bit, as the festivals that have been announced this year are all looking pretty amazing from where I'm sitting. There's so much uniqueness in the way festivals are occurring these days, with Carrie's post called Festival Fever fully summarizing the sentiment I've long tried to express through the content on the blog overall. In deciding to see a festival these days, aside from the line-up, a big part of the draw is the festival setting. Castle, pirate [...]

Ever since Al Gore invented rap in the '70s, this relatively new breed of music has set the standard for cool. There's simply no denying a good gangsta rap phase during your youth involving St. Ides, repeated viewings of Boyz in the Hood and Menace 2 Society and of course blasting bass out of your badass 1985 Mazda 626 (ok, that one was just me). With that in mind, today's Bust Outs is dedicated to great gangsta rap covers by some of our favorite jambands as they channel their inner G and crank out some noble jams courtesy of Dre, [...]
While making our way to the Variety Playhouse to bear witness to Perpetual Groove's sold-out show in Atlanta last Saturday evening, I was struck by the flurry of activity taking place outside the venue. Drum circles, blown glass vendors and teens from area high schools greeted us as we approached the front door. It had been a few years since I last caught the band and was honestly unaware how much their fanbase had grown. [All Photos by Megan Case] Located roughly 70 miles [...]
The live music universe is a world filled with ebbs and flows of energy; when things get busy, they really get busy and then there will be a down period. Suffice to say that in Chicago, right when that 90 day limit Lollapalooza puts on its performers finishes , October is busy. Everyone is touring. In addition, there have been a number of announcements of late pertaining to New Years Eve. So gathered here is a pretty solid compendium of who's playing where on December 31st. The venue link will get you to ticket information for the mentioned shows. [...]
Perpetual Groove started out as a jamband and is slowly evolving into a more rock oriented outfit. Since they are form Athens, Georgia, rock isn't exactly rock per se. They cut corners unexpectedly, linger on a couple of notes before going out of their heads with a major freak-out groove fest. You can take the rock out of a jamband, but not vice versa. Their latest studio album LiveLoveDie sounds a bit like Stockholm Syndrome -- a relaxed rhythm section with a distorted guitar and supporting keyboards slowly crawling out of the [...]
