Mezzanine is the debut full-length release from Eau Claire's rapidly maturing Adelyn Rose, and a significant milestone for a young group that has undergone dramatic personnel and sound changes over the past two years. What started as lo-fi "acoustic & vocals" folk, has now developed into lush, mature arrangements - even incorporating some synth laden pop-rock (see "Collisions"). The group definitely brought their A-Game on their big night, treating the crowd to a flawless performance, definitely winning some new fans. Watch for the group to continue to play more local shows and possibly tour this year. Adelyn [...]

Seymore Saves The World dropped by the MOKB SIRIUS Blog Radio / 91.7 WEEM studios this week. I had seen Shawn Neary since SXSW 2005 and it was great to meet his bandmates. We had a good time talking about the new project and the struggles of being broke and touring. The guys, despite all sharing the front seat of a big pickup truck all the time, we really upbeat and a lot of fun. They even performed a new song, not on [...]
I've spent most of my weekend (well actually since Thursday), with the aid of Papa Dodge and my brother, painting the exterior of my house. I was given a reprieve, due to rain, yesterday though. I was able to split my evening between two bands last night. First I stopped at The Vogue to see The Black Keys shred it up on their Camel cigarrettes-sponsored tour. This is like the fifth time I've [...]

Seymore Saves The World is a band outta Minneapolis, Minnesota that features ex-Tapes 'n Tapes bassist Sean Neary. They play nostalgic sounding piano-based power-pop that had me, my wife, and my daughter all bouncing around the living room yesterday.

This morning I was getting ready for work and I grabbed my purse which, of course, I didn't see had my phone on top which then went crashing to the ground of my now carpet missing floor. It shouldn't be surprising that this kind of thing happens to me on a regular basis, but this morning the crash that resulted did not sound like the others. And the phone? Well it didn't look like it did before, either. The screen is cracked, which therefore makes my sidekick virtually useless but I surprisingly was okay by the outcome. [...]
