Filed under: News , R.I.P. Getty Images Although the label that launched Green Day has yet to make it official, it appears that Lookout! Records is no more. According to a blog post by Ted Leo on Jan 13, and reported by Punknews.org, the label -- which officially stopped releasing new material in 2006 -- has "sadly, shuttered it's windows for good." In a post titled "Lookout! Ist Kapuut," [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-14T01:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3987563/rip-lookout-records/
Lookout! Records , the Berkeley, California-based record label and one-time home of Green Day, Operation Ivy, Rancid, The Donnas, Alkaline Trio, and countless others, is no more, according to the label's former signee Ted Leo. In a message posted on his website , Leo revealed that while the label had ceased putting out new material in 2006, it was still printing back catalogs until December. Now, however, the label has "sadly, shuttered its windows for good," explained Leo. Leo, who released four Ted Leo and the Pharmacists records through Lookout! during the early 2000s, went on to [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-26T18:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3951857/lmb-nyc-this-weeks-concert-calendar-dec-26-31-holiday/
Happy holidays, dudes and dudettes! Hope you got everything you wished for and downed copious amounts of egg nog. Now, on to more important stuff than family gatherings and gift exchanges....live music! Naturally, there are ton of great shows going on this week in NYC as we lead up to New Year's Eve, including some multi-night holiday runs, some late-night throwdowns, and plenty of NYE parties that don't involve watching a ball drop in 10-degree weather.]]> text/html 2011-11-21T15:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3877020/titus-ted-leo-playing-ows-benefit-tonight/
A few days after the NYPD evicted the Occupy Wall Street camp from Zuccotti Park, and a couple of days after this scandalous bullshit went down at UC Davis, Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick Stickles has organized a last-minute benefit show that goes down tonight at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn. The show will feature Titus, Ted Leo And The Pharmacists, and the So So Glos, and it will serve as a benefit for the National Lawyers Guild , an organization currently fighting for protesters' rights. And because this is Patrick Stickles we're talking about, the show [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-14T12:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3860453/lmb-nyc-this-weeks-concert-calendar-nov-14-20/

But there's still plenty of action, including a jam-packed weekend of shows that's going to set up some tough decisions....]]> text/html 2011-11-10T16:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3852989/ted-leo-and-the-pharmacists-to-play-benefit-in-washington/

Tuesday, November 8, 2011 - Fun Fun Fun Fest Recap (Dan) - Sometimes bigger isnt better. While I wouldnt classify the expanded Fun Fun Fun Fest as a raging success, by no means was it a failure. If anything it was a victim of its past success and the inflated expectations placed on this years festival. I wouldve preferred they didnt add the third day, but I appreciated that there were less scheduling conflicts. As for Auditorium Shores, it may not have [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-07T23:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3845185/live-fun-fun-fun-fest-austin/
Slayer closed out the third and final day of Fun Fun Fun Fest. Big fun, if not fun3, this past weekend in Austin at the Fun Fun Fun Fest, a mixture of musical (and other) entertainment staged supposedly as an alternative to the bloated, self-important Austin City Limits festival. FFF stretched out for the first time at Auditorium Shores, which to even the drunkest concertgoer is much more space than ACL has down the road at Zilker Park. The only physical problem this year was apparently blowing dust but on Sunday - the only [...]]]> text/html 2011-09-24T13:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3743867/today-and-tonight-in-concerts-popped-music-fest-philly-fm/
Take a deep breath and get ready to rock: it's an eventful Saturday in Philly. Today both the Popped! Music Festival and the Philly F/M Fest continue. Popped! is at the Liacouras Center at 1776 N.

The folks at You Ain't No Picasso have an ever-growing collection of covers by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists that just received a significant upgrade. Now at 75 total covers, the collection features new takes on jams like Aimee Mann's "Freeway," Husker Du's "Could You Be the One," Queen's "Radio Ga Ga," and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." My personal favorite is the latter, which is startlingly on point. Like, really on point, to the point you'd think a whole covers project existed of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists tackling Tears for Fears tracks.

On October 18th, Nashville rock outfit PUJOL will release their new EP, Nasty, Brutish, And Short , via Conor Oberst's Saddle Creek Records. Defining that record's title to a T is the lead single, "Mayday", which is available below for streaming/downloading. Don't be fooled so easily by this punk riot; the raucous little numberhas some pretty heavy meaningbeneath its shiny, chaotic surface. "This song," band leader Daniel Pujol said, "is about my friend Richard Houston attaining maximum grooviness by harnessing different viewpoints to gain a clearer perspective aside from feigning teenage omniscience."

O projeto A.V. Undercover j incluiu grandes nomes no seu "lineup" anual, mas ainda guarda espao para artistas que escapam do radar, revelaes e faixas menos conhecidas. o caso de Basia Bulat , cantora folk que escolheu, mesmo com a opo de uma faixa de Loretta Lynn na lista, uma faixa (sobre ska) do grupo punk Ted Leo and The Pharmacists . Uma mistura improvvel que deu certo.

Nashville rocker Daniel Pujol and his surnamed project PUJOL may not be familiar to everyone, but the up and comer has some pretty famous friends/supporters. After releasing efforts via Infinity Cat Records, the label of JEFF the Brotherhood's Jake and Jamin Orrall, PUJOL issued last year's Black Rabbit 73 via Jack White's Third Man Records. Now, PUJOL will add another elite name to its list of backers when the outfit delivers the Nasty, Brutish, and Short EP via Conor Oberst's Saddle Creek Records on Ocotber 18th.

Over the last couple of years, West London's folk scene has been churning out a number of much buzzed about bands, with Mumford & Sons leading the charge. The other rising star of the burgeoning movement is the 21-year-old Laura Marling , who earlier this year won the 2011 Brit Award for Best Female Solo Artist. On September 13, the singer-songwriter will release her third studio album, A Creature I Don't Know , and has recently announced a short nine-date U.S. tour that includes a two-night stand in Los Angeles, as well as a high profile [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-01T21:54:21+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3608571/canadian-summer-festival-guide-2011-august/

Joe Del Tufo Ted Leo at the XPoNential Music Festival 2011 D.C.-based rockers Ted Leo and the Pharmacists have announced a fall tour, continuing an already busy year on the road. Leo & co. were just in Philly this past weekend, performing The Tyranny of Distance (their first album as a full band) at the XPoNential Music Festival. They seem to enjoy the city, seeing as the tour will kick off here with a pair of dates on Friday, September 23rd and Saturday, September 24th at Johnny Brendas.

The time spent on the road by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is second to very few. I saw these guys at least a handful of times during my college years just because they were always coming around. Although, to be fair, I went to school in Rhode Island and dude has a house there. But I digress. The band has lined up a pretty steady schedule for the fall along with a few scattered gigs over the next month or so. They're covering a fair portion of the U.S., though no dates have been announced for the [...]]]>
