It's been another great year for Cincinnati music in 2009. Some of our favorite artist released new albums and some brand new folks caught our attention for the first time as well. Here are some of my favorite Cincinnati albums from 2009, if I missed you, I apologize, it certainly doesn't mean I did not enjoy your art. Bad Veins - S/T - So, 2009 was the year we finally got the Bad Veins debut record. The album that we waited for arrived, and although alot of the material was familiar to [...]
You might know Brian Olive from his work in the Greenhornes or the Soledad Brothers. Or as Meg White's former beau. But now it's time to get to know Brian Olive the solo artist. His self-titled debut came out earlier this year on the Alive label, and he's getting ready tour. In the meantime, check [...]
Patrick Boissel, Alive Records Interview by Will Bray Blues is a continuous growing genre. It always has been and always will be. What the exact reason for this universal obsession which started as nothing more than cotton field folk music, no one can really tell you. Maybe because of it's natural sound, maybe because blues is so personal, maybe because it welcomes influence and maybe because blues tells great stories. More than likely it's because of all of those. Blues has been passed from father to son for generations and each time gathering momentum. Now taken [...]

Grappig. Zo heb ik het over Brian Olive wiens debuutalbum in de lijn van het Stones-album Exile On Main St. ligt, zo heb ik een cd in handen van een band die zijn 'definitieve' vorm vond door het meedoen aan...
Vorig week roemde DubbelMono mijn hippe muzieksmaak. Ik keek hem verbaasd aan: 'Ik hip?' 'Qua Nederlandse bands', was zijn toelichting hierop. Ik begreep toen over welke fiets het ging, maar mijn liefde voor bands vind ik verder allesbehalve hip. Mensen...

(all photos by Keith Klenowski) This year on Fountain Square in Cincinnati, the Indie Summer Concert series has been celebrating it's second year of bringing the city great music on Friday nights. There have been several great acts to already grace the downtown stage this summer, but arguably, none as well known as The Fiery Furnaces. I'm an unabashed fan of the Furnaces, and even though I have seen them several times, and another great band was playing across town in Son Volt, I still made a point to be on [...]

(image from The Fiery Furnaces @ Southgate House Oct. 2007) As I said earlier, it is a busy night for live music here in the Queen City. Son Volt is playing across the river in Newport, and the Indie Summer Series continues on Fountain Square as well. The series really raises their game tonight two, as they boast a national headliner to go along with the always strong stable of local and regional acts. This evening on the Square, you can first catch The Chocolate Horse starting the [...]

Through sheer laziness, I've flirted around with the idea of compiling The Daily Graboid every two-three weeks as opposed to the regular way of doing it once per week. I'm not sure which format I prefer, so I'll just leave it up to you guys. To be honest, I'm leaning towards just sticking with the original format. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - right? Anyways, as you can see with the list, I'm missing a few of the bigger releases from the past few weeks (Regina Spektor, Wilco, etc.). With so much [...]
hübsches label aus den staaten, nennt sich alive records natural sounds oder alive natural sounds records , bin ich mir noch nicht ganz einig, werde aber zukünftig auf alive abkürzen. spart energie. das tun die auf diesem label gesignten band ganz sicher nicht. gewohnter weise hören wir bei dieser oder jener hinein und geben ein statement und einen brocken musik ab. die company hat ihren sitz übrigens in burbank, und wenn die erste namen fallen, werdet Ihr schnell so etwas wie einen aha- effekt verspüren. die haben nämlich einige auf den weg gebracht.

Brian Olive Brian Olive Alive Records [2009] Fire Note Says: Take a trip with singer/songwriter Brian Olive! Album Review: Cincinnati's Brian Olive probably will not be a familiar name to you but he was the founding guitarist and singer of the Greenhornes then moved on to the Soledad Brothers before breaking out solo. On his self-titled debut record, Olive puts together a slightly fuzzed up psychedelic release that spans [...]
