Hideout Block Party to feature the Hold Steady, Superchunk, Neko Case

May 28, 10:42pm All the Young Punks

It would be almost impossible for the Hideout to top last year's headliner Wilco for its annual Block Party . That said, this year's lineup is pretty great, too, with the Hold Steady, Superchunk, Neko Case and the Walkmen among the featured acts. The two-day event also will include Chicago soul legend Mavis Staples and the Both (a collaboration between Aimee Mann and Ted Leo ). Of course what Hideout celebration would be complete without Jon Langford ? He'll be there. [...]

Widowspeak and The Auras at The Garrison in Toronto

Apr 18, 8:32am Chromewaves

Frank Yang Objectively speaking, there's not a world of difference between Widowspeak's 2011 self-titled debut or the follow-up Almanac , released in January of this year. You can file them both quite comfortably under "the soundtrack to dreams of dusty country roads", not too far from lazy but not inaccurate reference points Mazzy Star and Cat Power, but something about Almanac grabs me the way that Widowspeak , as much as I dug it , didn't. And it's not something as simple as they're getting [...]

Listen to The Hold Steady’s Game of Thrones track, “The Bear & The Maiden Fair”

Apr 15, 12:15pm Consequence Of Sound

As previously reported ,  The Hold Steady followed the brave footsteps of their neighbors The National and contributed a new recording to the third season of HBO’s Game of Thrones . Written by George R.R. Martin, “The Bear and the Maiden Fair”, as expected, sounds like the “boisterous tavern song” the Brooklyn outfit was always destined to create. It comes bottled with beer-swiggin' harmonies, tumbling guitars, and frontman Craig Finn's frantic demeanor. As our resident  GoT  expert Dan Pfleegor ( @Pfactotum ) explains, it's a pretty gratuitous song involving plenty of sexual innuendo about honey in [...]

Redd Kross and B-17 at The Horseshoe in Toronto

Apr 15, 8:32am Chromewaves

Frank Yang The weather may have been nigh-on dreadful last Thursday night, but it was going to take more than Winter's last gasp to keep Toronto from venturing out to catch the long-awaited return of some colourfully-named Californians been pioneers at melding punk energy and pop sensibilities since adolescence. No, not Green Day at the Air Canada Centre, silly. I'm talking about Redd Kross at The Horseshoe. Though they returned to active duty in 2006 following a decade's hiatus, the Los Angeles-based band's activity has been somewhat sporadic, though it did include a somewhat [...]

Bob Mould and Now, Now at The Horseshoe in Toronto

Frank Yang Understand that I am in no way, shape, or form complaining, but I was pretty surprised when it was announced that Bob Mould would be playing The Horseshoe this past Friday night. Not that one legendary artist doesn't deserve a legendary venue, but considering that his profile arguably higher than its been in years thanks to a 2012 that included the 20th anniversary Sugar reissues and tour, the publication of his memoirs , and his best-received new album in some time with Silver Age , to [...]
