Andrew Bird Plays Two Shows at Largo This Week I'm just getting back into town and trying to figure out what's going on this week/year. Things are starting to pick up towards the end of the week.... Monday 1/10/11 [Pick of the Night] The Fling / The Belle Brigade / Everest / My Pet Saddle @ The Satellite [f/k/a Spaceland] (Free) – The Fling and The Belle [...]

Welcome, here's the first 7 of my best of lucky 13 albums for 2010. I'm breaking it up so you get a chance to listen to this first batch. Lots of albums will be in a different list all their own like No Age, She & Him II, and Superchunk just to keep you guessing. Although great bands they did not make it to this particular list. Here's the review stalker guidelines for selecting this years list. Pretty general stuff but anyway. Enjoy! Rule: 1 Don't stick to any one sub-genre if you can help it although [...]

Sweet Apple Alright Chicago, one week before Pitchfork Festival 2010 kicks off. Better get out there and see some live music to get in game shape. Lucky for you, there are plenty of great shows this weekend including the J Mascis-lead Sweet Apple at the Abbey Pub , Soft Speaker at Schubas , Swiss Dots at the Hideout , the always-a-fun-time West Fest and so much more. Let's get to it, shall we? [...]

With West Fest , Folk and Roots and other goings on this weekend, it would be easy to overlook Sweet Apple at the Abbey Saturday. That would be a shame. The band is a couple of guys from Cleveland's Cobra Verde , the great guitar shredder J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and Dave Sweetapple from Witch (a hard rock band that features Mascis on drums). The sound? Try to imagine Cobra Verde crossed [...]
* In a piece entitled, For Sweet Apple, the road to indie-rock stardom began with a long drive to nowhere , John Soeder, of the Plain Dealer, interviews John Petkovic, also of the Plain Dealer (the Paper), Cobra Verde, and Sweet Apple. And while the story of how Petkovic hooked up with Dinosaur, Jr frontman, J Mascis, is one you've probably heard before, the story of why Petkovic will be sporting a fresh cast Friday night at the Grog Shop, probably isn't. * From Donewaiting, via World of Wumme , comes news that Columbus, lo-fi [...]

For nearly three decades J Mascis has been a legendary contributor to the American underground music scene. It was 1982 when Mascis formed Deep Wound with long-term associate Lou Barlow. That early punk rock act didn't last long, but it did serve as the foundation on which Mascis' career was built. Mascis switched from drums to guitar, took over vocal duties and Dinousaur Jr. was born. With their unique blend of noisy aggression, vestigial classic rock and Mascis' trademark drone, that band paved the way for a great many early '90s acts, both mainstream alternative and the underground scene that [...]

Take in some tennis and job quitting in the video for "Do You Remember," the opening track from Sweet Apple's debut album, Love and Desperation. Do You Remember http://www.myspace.com/sweetap plesongs http://www.teepeerecords.com/
I just wanna throw my two cents in... True story: when I was a kid, I thought the lyrics to "Black No. 13 were "You can't go out 'cause your boobs are showing." I was confused about what the song's title meant, but otherwise, the words made perfect sense to me. Oh, misheard lyrics. You never [...]
Bison B.C., "Dark Ages" Much to my delight, Canada's up-and-coming metal sensations have returned with this mature follow up to 2008's outstanding Quiet Earth LP. Spending a fair share of the past two years touring behind that release, the young men of Bison experienced a tremendous amount of attention and praise from aficionados of the [...]
Tennis, babes, stickin' it to the man, rock music? John McEnroe would be proud. Sweet Apple - Do You Remember

Welcome to Wild Weekend , edition thirteen. Just happens to be my lucky number, amigos. Haven´t got it tattoed on my back yet though. Let´s see what the magic shuffle function of the iPod has in store for us this time. We´ll begin with a very recent song. Sweet Apple is a new side project of J. ´Dinosaur Jr´ Mascis, helped by some guys from Cobra Verde. And as I´ve Got A Feeling (That Won´t Change) clearly shows, these guys just plain rock. Ever seen the sleazy album cover [...]

My first thought upon finding out about Sweet Apple: "J. Mascis has another new band? Awesome!" And it is. Love and Desperation (available 4/20 via Tee Pee records) is more classic rock than any Dinosaur Jr. records, often entering the blues-and-heavy-rock territory of another guitar idol's vehicle, Led Zeppelin, but J.'s signature is still on it. In fact, his distinct guitar hooks and vocals (though supporting rather than leading for this band) tend to momentarily confuse me into thinking I'm listening to an album from his main vehicle rather than a side project. [...]
Yeah, we know, we've been slacking on making your Friday full of FREE on a regular basis, and for that we're sorry. So sorry in fact that we've got an extra-loaded dose of 100 percent free and legal tunes for you this week, featuring tons of our favorite artists from Apollo Ghosts and the Naked Hearts to the National and Phoenix and beyond. Hooray. As always, simply click on the band name to visit their site and the song name to get the MP3. But first... we're not only regaling you with [...]
Sweet Apple è una nuova band formata da J. Mascis (batteria/chitarra/voce), Tim Parnin (chitarra) e John Petkovic (voce/chitarra) - entrambi membri dei Cobra Verde - e Dave Sweetapple (basso/voce) dei Witch (band nella quale militava anche Mascis). Il loro album di debutto "Love & Desperation", mixato da John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, The Hold Steady) [...]
[ download ] [tweetmeme] There are a small handful of guitarists who can rightfully claim a throne among indie rock royalty-guys like Frank Black, Lou Barlow, and Stephen Malkmus-and Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Mascis is irrefutably among that number. He doesn't need a good reason to start a new band, but the story behind his latest, Sweet Apple , is a touching one nonetheless. Referring to the band's vocalist and guitar player John Petkovic, Mascis says, "I tell people that I saved his life by starting this band, but they don't believe me." [...]
Listening to Sweet Apple 's debut, Love and Desperation, is like going on a road trip through the history of alt-rock, but in reverse. You start out in a place that's very close to home, then, as the record progresses, you go further back toward where it all started, leaving you with a pleasantly wide range that goes from bluesy Sabbath to rowdy southern grunge rock. That being said, what Sweet Apple does is nothing groundbreaking, instead sticking with what they do best, giving us a reminder of the good times from whence they came. For a [...]

So, we made it! Congratulations! Another five-day extravaganza of free beer, demo discs, flannel, wondering of who will play Perez's party, and sleepless nights has come and gone. The 2010 edition of South by Southwest has come to a conclusion. And while many of you may already be well into your detox mode, we still have a few lasting memories, namely in the form of photographic evidence. Our travels took us to a slew of different showcases and parties with lineups featuring heavy hitters, old favorites, up-and-comers, and relative unknowns. We traveled to Stubbs on Wednesday to watch [...]
