I never though this day would come. After seeing the Reverend Horton Heat somewhere in the double digits over the course of 18 years I had always come away thinking I had just seen one of the most energetic and fun live acts out there. That certainly wasn't the case when I left last night's jam-packed gig at the Opera House in Toronto however. Instead of a balls-out rockabilly performance, we got a trio who were more or less phoning it in. Excruciatingly long pauses between number destroyed any [...]
This is one of those rare weeks. My two favorite live bands are in town on back-to-back nights (not an accident I'm guessing). I've seen the two of them live more than any other acts, and I'm not missing these either. Supersuckers, Horseshoe Tavern, Apr 26 Almost no band on the planet puts on as good a rock show (or country show) as the Supersuckers . I make a point of never missing them when they're in town. Nashville Pussy [...]

This what your redneck neighbor's back yard will look like on Thanksgiving Editor's Note: In the interest of preserving the environment this holiday season, we are recycling some old blog posts. Don't worry - most of the links work. Are you gonna deep fry a turkey this Thanksgiving? Put the fire department on speed dial - especially if you're gonna be hoisting a few. Actually I do have some experience with this, and I will attest that the first and most important step in deep frying [...]

Charles Bradley at Bumbershoot 2011 (09/04/11) Words and Photos : Drake Lelane Enjoy the final installment of Drake's coverage from Bumbershoot 2011. -ed. Bumbershoot 2011 - Day 3 For the third and final day of Bumbershoot, I had a special guest with me to start out. My four-year old son Zane, freshly back from a week at Camp Grandpa, loves himself some live music, so he acted as my 'assistant' for the first half of the day. [...]
![[Hype Hype Hooray] The Knotty Pine: A Wild Mountain Venue From Another Dimension](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3725903_lg.jpg)
Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. I stepped into the Knotty Pine on a crisp Tuesday night. The venue, located in Victor, Idaho (population 840), looks like an old mountain cabin on the outside and is decorated as such on the interior. Adorning the walls were photos of bands that have come through next to several [...]
I really like what I'm seeing for the upcoming week in Vancouver. As I'm looking through all the upcoming shows there seem to be a few standouts from the Robson Valley Music Fest as well. If you get the chance then go check out Hannah Epperson at Cafe Montmarte...looping violins! ______________________________ _____________ August 26, 2011 - Hannah Epperson @ Cafe Montmarte ______________________________ _____________ August 31, 2011 - Nashville Pussy w/ Reverend Horton Heat @ The Commodore ______________________________ _____________ [...]
The non-stop touring machine known as Reverend Horton Heat celebrated their 25th Anniversary, which occurred sometime last year. As many bands are doing nowadays, they decided to mark the occasion with a special tour. The setlist this time started in chronological order, leading up to their most recent album. After a brief intermission, the Reverend came back out and took requests for whatever songs were called out from the audience (though I have reason to believe the choices were from a small pre-determined pool due to the similarity between recent setlists). Once again, the Reverend broke out some [...]

Nice weather is right around the corner. Know how I know? 'Cause so many bands are loading up their tour buses and vans and hitting the road. To which I say woo hoo! Some are doing club shows, others are gearing up larger venues including festivals (Hello Coachella and Sasquatch!), and there's something for everyone. Hopefully this list will inspire you to get off your couch and check out some of these bands live. We all need a little rock n' roll to make us feel good. If you have additions to the list [...]

The Reverend Horton Heat brings psychobilly to 9:30 Club on Saturday (5/14), and we have a chance for you to win a pair of tickets . From the 9:30 Club May Concert Calendar Preview that I wrote last week: " The Reverend Horton Heat's jams can be classified as 'psychobilly,' and that's exactly what it sounds like, country-punk-rockabilly, shaken, not stirred, with a twist of humor. The Reverend Horton Heat is both the alter-ego of Texan frontman Jim [...]
