Many, many options this weekend in the area to catch your favorite music. Every night has something definitely worthwhile, all over the region. Friday Imperial China is having a CD release party and they want you there! They are with Double Dagger , Zulu Pearls , and the Black & White Jacksons . Catch them at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC. One of my picks for Best of Philly '07 (and in serious contention for it this year [...]
3333 by Creatyves [ link ] Just got a few more thermal underwear - Joe Boxer tops and bottoms are BOGO @ K-Mart! In the checkout line, I said to them (the thermals), "There will come a time when you will step-up and play such an important role that your lives up to that point will seem like a complete underachievement. Stay patient, my friends. Your time will come." I was talking, of course, about the Lake Tahoe trip we just booked in January. What can I say, [...]
Let's keep this simple. To me, this site has always been about supporting the local music scene. So I decided, that there is no better way to celebrate our first anniversary, than to make a mix of local music from the past year. I had so much fun, that I ended up making two discs. Some of these bands have come a long way in the last 12 months, some didn't even exist when we started and others are no more. That said, every song is from a band that claims (or claimed) the Baltimore/Washington metro area as [...]
What I love about Washington DC's Revival is the contrast between their soothing music and seething lyrics. The songs bask in tranquility until they are interrupted by depressing, existential lyrics. This is they kind of band you unwind to after a tiring day at the office. Just make sure you're in a room with no sharp objects. Add this Band on Myspace [...]
Dane101 is excited to present the first edition of our "CD Review Club." This special feature is set aside specifically for non-local releases (local releases will always receive a personal stand alone post). Anyone who wants to take part in our club can drop us a line or join up with our "CD Review Club" group on Facebook . We ask that reviews be one to three paragraphs (although Mark got a little carried away in this edition with the Of Montreal review - but you can't put a cap on love) and we will collect them all and [...]
Honestly, I read about Revival on songs:illinois , and after listening to the mp3 he posted (Fog Rolling In) I knew I wanted more. Flash forward about a month and I'm sitting at my dining room with the last clean glass in the house (a coffee cup) full of Jim Beam, a splash of water, heat on 70 (hey! 50 is cold for Florida!) and Revival - Horses of War on the stereo but not too loud. Revival is a relatively young band, having formed in 2005. However, the band members had all cut their teeth plenty [...]
I gotta tell it to you straight. I started typing as soon as I saw the name of the band, title of the record and the cd artwork. But once I heard the opening bars of "Fog Rolling In" I knew I should continue. Revival is the band. The new record Horses of War is out on Gypsy Eyes Records in February. Revivial is Josh Read and Evan Berodt. Evan has toured with Jay Farrar. Together with drummer Noel [...]
Since I work at a music venue and play in a band, I don't head out to many shows anymore that I'm not working in some regard - especially not during the week. Last night was an exception. DC9 hosted an outstanding evening of country tinged rock, featuring Thrill Jockey recording artist Angela Desveaux (above) and Washington DC locals Revival . The show was opened by the [...]
