...if yr looking to kick out the cobwebs from a long weekend, may we recommend you have a listen to The Conformists. Hailing from St. Louis, the band possesses obvious reference points to their northern neighbors in Chicago. The point is further emboldened by the fact that their most recent effort, Three Hundred, was recorded [...]
...over the past eighteen months, the Dayton supergroup that is The Motel Beds have seen their star ascend rapidly in the local scene. After regrouping last spring and adding guitarist/engineer Darryl Robbins, the Beds' live show has packed clubs around town while their most recent batch of recordings on Moondazed stands as a warning shot [...]
...while the music scene here in Dayton perpetually exists in a state of flux with bands coming and going, often without notice, we lost one of our favorite acts last summer as the grungy popsters of Hospital Garden bid adieu to the Gem City and relocated to Chicago. While we occasionally receive transmissions as to [...]
...in the legend of Guided By Voices, there are few events that are shrouded in such mystery as the aborted Power of Suck concept album. As the star of GBV was ascending on the strength of the one-two punch of Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes and their live show earning them a reputation beyond reproach, [...]
...it's been a while since post-rock pioneers Trans Am have issued any new material, but that drought ends today. Out on the Thrill Jockey imprint, the band's new disc Thing finds Trans Am in classic form in their applications of minimalism and electronics. Embracing a dance-driven element within their core aesthetic, Thing still makes plenty [...]
...tonight at South Park Tavern we are very excited to bring you once again our April Residency for The Buddha Den NTRO/XPO: Doom Patrol. If you haven't made it out yet to see them, we would highly encourage you to do so. Opening the evening will be the vintage rock n' roll sounds of the [...]

One of our favorites from Cincinnati, Buffalo Killers, are returning to Dayton this Friday, April 24, for a show at Canal Street Tavern along with their good friends, The Nate Wilson Group.

...tonight over at Blind Bob's sounds like it's going to be quite the rock n' roll party, so you might wanna plan on making it down. Along with longtime local faves The Story Changes, you've a newly reworked lineup of The Sound For Language, the new skull-rattling heaviness of Feathered Serpent!, and up-and-coming indie power-poppers [...]
...while many of us here in the Gem City are still lamenting the loss of our beloved Gem City Records, time waits for no one, and as such National Record Store Day is upon us again. Tomorrow, Saturday, April 17, a pair of local retail outlets will do their part to remind Daytonians that there [...]
...earlier this week the face-melting duo Lightning Bolt announced a summer tour schedule that includes a stop at The Historic Southgate House. Out in support of their most recent effort, Earthly Delights, LB seem to have infused their breakneck thrash with a healthy dose of Krautrock. And we're perfectly OK with that. Have a listen [...]
...OK kids, one more post for today. We just wanted to let all you all know about a new event taking place on Wednesdays at South Park Tavern. Building on their long-standing weekly Open Mic, South Park Tavern introduced The Rock N' Roll PlayDate last Wednesday and today announced that it will be a FREE/WEEKLY [...]
...if yr a vinyl junkie like us, odds are yr gonna drool on this little local treat. Thanks to GladGirl Shelly for bringing this to our attention: Ultimate Oldies Radio is holding a record sale! WSWO, FM 97.7 and FM 101.1, has accumulated over 7,000 LPs and over 2,000 45s, and is holding a public sale. [...]
...any excuse to post a new track from the mighty Deerhoof is always a treat around these parts. It's an extra-special treat that their cover of the track "Hitch Hike" [by Sweden's LiLiPut] can be found on the upcoming soundtrack disc that accompanies the new book, Rules to Rock By. Author/musician Josh Farrar presents a [...]
...one of the very first shows we were able to put together here in Dayton back in the Fall of 2008 featured an up-and-coming Swedish-born/New Orleans-based songstress named Theresa Andersson. For anyone that was fortunate enough to be in attendance that Wednesday evening, the shock of Andersson's incredible performance likely still resonates. Shortly after stopping [...]
...not so very long ago, I was speaking with a fellow local music journalist and we were lamenting the fact that one of Dayton's finest bands perhaps ever had departed our beloved music scene with relatively little fanfare. So, we'd like to take a moment here and reflect on a truly great Dayton band... ...For much [...]
...admittedly, we're suckers for 70s glam rock, so it's really no surprise that this new track from Indianapolis trio Burnt Ones caught our ears. While the song's lyrical theme may be thinly veiled, it's sonic characteristics make us think of slightly more Stateside influences, like The Go doing a Ziggy impression. No matter. Burnt Ones [...]
...over the past few months, Me & Mountains has been building some impressive momentum in the Gem City. With a highly polished indie sound and hooks that dig deep from the first listen, it's really no surprise. The band are poised to release their debut self-titled EP later this Spring, from which the track "Foxy [...]
...you can take the kids out of Dayton, but you can't take Dayton out of the kids. Or something like that. Longtime Daytonians Steven & Angelle Gullett, recently completed a short clip that pays homage to Dayton's legendary Canal Street Tavern Musician's Co-Op, which Steven dutifully hosted for several years. Throughout the clip, we [...]
...ever since we first heard the Jesse Remnant's debut album The Human Cannonball, we've been anxiously waiting for a new batch of recordings to surface. Patiently. Well, kinda. Since that album dropped two years ago, Remnant has been extremely busy with his 'other' band, Athens powerhouse Southeast Engine, so we can't really fault him for [...]
...well kids, it's a new month, so that must mean it's time for a new residency at The Buddha Den NTRO/XPO.
