Tomorrow night at Off Broadway, check out the following three locals and Chicago's the Safes. The latter has a bunch of new music in the pipeline; in the meantime, enjoy this chestnut. MP3: The S...

CMJ released the band schedule for its 2009 Music Marathon & Film Festival yesterday, which is about as good a sign of fall hitting New York as the return of apple cider at Greenmarket. The festival runs from Oct. 20 - Oct. 24 and includes various venues throughout the city, and the list of featured artists would probably take all four days to read through. But skimming the selection reveals a fairly equal distribution of well-known acts like Atlas Sound and Deer Tick , anonymous locals (including krautrock-y Jeff Buckley-channelers Pocketknife), twenty-two bands who [...]
The Blind Eyes are Seth Porter, Kevin Schneider and Matt Picker. They are playing on October 17 at Off Broadway with the Safes, Gentleman Auction House, and Beth Bombara. But last weekend, they t... Continue reading "Tour Diary: The Blind Eyes" >
The press release below doesn't actually list all the acts performing at CMJ this year, so you're probably better off checking out cmj.sched.org to get a true idea of what's happening during this year's marathon. Of course, sched.org is a little confusing too and it doesn't list unofficial events and day parties (as far as I know), so you'll have to wait a little bit longer for info to trickle out from the blogs and other unofficial sources. Lastly, even though the press release says the schedule is "final", you can pretty much bet that things will shift [...]

Tickets for the 5th annual Pygmalion Music Festival set for September 16 - 19 in Champaign-Urbana are going fast. Festival passes are sold out as is the headlining performance from Iron and Wine .

Only a small number of single [...]

...in case you weren't paying attention, we've got a HUGE weekend coming up in the Gem City this weekend. Several great touring bands will be heading into Dayton this weekend, among them will be Chicago hip-hop duo, Yea Big + Kid Static . Although it's been almost a year since we last saw them, we have not forgotten the incredibly high-energy set these two deliver. With their self-titled debut out on Jib Door and their relentless touring schedule, better make plans to catch them at Blind Bob's this Saturday, or wherever they'll be close to [...]
Emerging from the rooftops of Chicago in 2007, Netherfriends are that bastard-psych-pop-catchy as hell band that you've been searching for. Their debut 7-inch, Feathers and Dots, fused heavily layered arrangements with group sing-a-longs, spare pianos, synths, glockenspiels and other hard to place, but familiar sounds. The three-piece psychedelic pop band grabbed some early spark and attention from places like Blender and RCRD LBL and have played at both SXSW in Austin and CMJ in New York City. Netherfriends features Shawn Rosenblatt (vocals, guitar, piano), Paul Newmann (no not that Paul Newman..drums) Justin Fernado (guitar, bass, synth, and glockenspiel [...]

Man, there are THREE shows I want to see next Thursday. Of Montreal are in Covington (I'll be at that one), Wale is in Lexington and Gentleman Auction House are playing Lexington at Al's Bar. I would say "boo hoo" to all of this, but hopefully it'll just mean that no matter what you're looking [...]
by neil roberts For the past week I've been meditating every morning, first thing when I wake up. It's helping create a clarity through which creativity freely flows. The winds of change are blowing through the newly blooming trees. Here's something a draftsman I know sent me today about change. Be sure to check out our show recommendations, and change up the week you thought you were going to have. "An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common-sense 'intuitive [...]
