Like most American kids, I went to camp during the summer. From age 7 to 10 I did all the usual camp things; rode horses, shot arrows, rock climbed and made lumpy ashtrays for the non-smoking parentals in ceramics. Another campfire tradition, in between state-mandated Kum Ba Yas , were ghost stories. Yet another year where our counselor attempted to give us the Gold Arrow camp canard about the B-17 pilot who plunged into the lake, and now whose ghost still haunted the area. By 9 years of age our cabin wasn't buying it, we [...]
HERMAN Dune 's Stanley Brinks has teamed up with Wymeswold band The Wave Pictures for his new solo single. "Cowboy indie" track End Of The World , released on December 14, is the first taster of new album Stanley Brinks And The Wave Pictures , which is due for release next January. A spokesman for the Hawaiian shirt-clad singer songwriter said: "The former member of French/Swedish anti-folk trio Herman Dune Stanley Brinks released his debut solo album Dank U last year. "This time, alongside The Wave Pictures, Stan's simple, memorable lyrics come [...]
Stanley Brinks Stanley Brinks (aka Andre Herman Dune) teams up with The Wave Pictures for his new single End Of The World released 14th December on Ciao Ketchup. Taken from his forthcoming album Stanley Brinks & The Wave Pictures, End of The World is a rough-hewn exercise in 'cowboy indie'. The former member of French/Swedish anti-folk trio Herman Dune, Stanley Brinks released his debut solo album [...]
shark head - m4m - 28 (ravari room) Date: 2009-11-04, 6:12PM CST Reply To This Post There you were, sitting and sweating looking confused and alone. I wanted you but you didnt seem to notice me, last wednesday at the ravari room. You have an enormous shark tattooed on your head, and an attitude that screams i'm a fucking dipshit. If you are interested meet me for a drink friday night at [...]
Last week was jam packed with great shows-Kurt Vile, Tickley Feather, Talk Normal, Thao Nguyen, Le Loup, X.O., Real Estate, and a bunch of others. DC9 hosted one of the best shows of the week with Julie Doiron & Herman Dune, who were traveling together on a two-week tour through Canada and the East Coast. Julie Doiron-who [...]
Pairing Julie Doiron with Herman Dune just makes sense. Gracing the Bell House this past Thursday on the penultimate date of their two-week run of shows together, Doiron and Dune do what they always do: blend loose and easy songwriting with effortless charm in casting tales of love, longing, and in Doiron's case...borrowed minivans. And as far as stage banter goes, we've already established that no one can top Dorion, whose off the cuff meanderings and musings equal her beguiling songs for sheer entertainment value alone. We were lucky enough to have her come in to [...]
was für eine spezielle kombi! wen haben wir denn da? zunächst unser aller herzlichst julie doiron. die immer noch gern angepriesen wird, indem man sie mit eric's trip in verbindung bringt, auf die zusammenarbeit mit mount eerie, herman dune oder wooden stars hinweist. dabei genügte es mittlerweile, sie für sich stehen zu lassen, für ihren einnehmenden, gehaltvollen solooutput. dann hätten wir daniel romano. der hat sich bei attack in black einen namen gemacht. schließlich noch den guten fred squire, bei calm down it's monday unter vertrag und umtriebig bei allen zugange, die ihn brauchen, rufen. [...]
Zowie, another great weekend of music with lots of choices.

5 November, 2009 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm Who: Herman Dune, Julie Doiron Where: The Bell House Show Info: 18+, 7:30pm, $12 Watch: "Consolation Prize" by Julie Doiron
Julie Doiron is one of the country's musical national treasures. Her unassuming demeanor, loveable cuteness, gorgeous voice, and ability to really rock out when called for are standouts of her live shows. Even more so is the fact that she makes each one feel unique in ways other performers are unable to match. Last Tuesday night's Toronto concert at Lee's Palace was no different. It was, to my mind, also one of the concerts of the year. The show opened with Doiron's friend, Shotgun Jimmie , but his 8:30pm slot was under-advertised, and [...]
Apparently Halloween Weekend means every band in the area is appearing as another band, could be entertaining or just confusing I guess we'll have to check them out to find the answer. On Thursday you can go to TTs and see the Talking Heads, Robert Palmer x 2, The Replacements and The Who. Or you could go to the Plough for the surf band The Trabants and the Middle East has King Khan & the BBQ Show and Downbeat 5. On Friday the Armory in Somerville has a spooky event with the screening of Phantom of the Opera and music [...]
Die beiden EPs von Virgin Of The Birds sind eigentlich zu toll, um sie einfach so zu verschenken. Jon Rooney macht es trotzdem. "Spanish Accusations" ist ein unwiderstehlicher Song. Dies liegt unter anderem daran, dass Jon Rooney aka Virgin Of the Birds das Stück mit einer Schalkhaftigkeit intoniert, die an Herman Dune erinnert. Wie Dune [...]

Another solid week of shows coming up in Chicago this week. Sadly, though, most of the best shows are bunched up at the start of the week, meaning there aren't too many interesting shows I can take my younger brother to when he's in town this weekend. I'm sure we'll find something to do, though - this ain't DC. (Snap!) As always, my picks in bold . Sunday, 10/25 Beat Kitchen (early - 12pm): Shana Sings (special Halloween show) Beat Kitchen (7pm): [...]

So what's happening this weekend? I think there are still tix available for Bill Maher at the Wilbur on Thursday (and they now have a liquor license so cheers!). Also on Thursday you have a chance to check out the new project the Port Charles Quintet at the Plough which sounds fun or you could go to the Brattle for the Califone show. But if these don't appeal to you, don't worry, there are many other great choices on Thursday. On Friday, the show at the Cantab looks strong with the Brooklyns, but then there's also Dennis [...]
