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 [...]
Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9) seem to have no desire to slow down its output of material. Following last year's Peaceblaster and a remix album to boot, the electronic jam band has returned with its latest record, Ad Explorata. The album is due to drop on December 8th through 1320 Records . The five-piece group, famous for combining live instruments with electronic music, has posted an entry on the weirdly, offbeat development of its latest project on its website. Basically, the whole process started when keyboardist David Phipps' [...]

When rock violinist Emilie Autumn puts on a show, she REALLY puts on a show. Not does the set promise to be two hours long, but it also boasts "music, burlesque, fire, trapeze, [and] stilt-walking." In addition, the set is handmade by Emilie, and the whole thing is called "The Asylum." The whole thing actually sounds pretty damn cool, and the spectacle will find it's way to Brooklyn on December 2 with a date at the Music Hall of Wiliamsburg. All dates are below. Emilie Autumn tour dates: 11/20 - Oklahoma City, [...]

Filed under: Video , UK It's been a busy year for Depeche Mode . They've taken their latest record, 'Sounds of the Universe,' from Luxembourg to Lima, Carcassonne to Ft, Lauderdale, Tel Aviv to Madrid.

Hot on the heels of last year's awesome Find Me A Drink Home , the Lansing, Michigan trio Cheap Girls is back with another great full-length full of straightforward punkish power-pop, My Roaring 20's . There really aren't any huge changes to be found when comparing My Roaring 20's to their debut, but (again) it seems as if Cheap Girls know exactly what it is they do well and just stick with it. The production is (however) a bit better but still retains enough of the lo-fi charm that no one will accuse [...]

Here's a partial list of some of the great acts who'll be there this year: • John Hammond • Tony Rice • Corey Harris • Sam Bush • The Waybacks • Jim Lauderdale • Little Feat • The Avett Brothers • Elvis Costello • Benton Flippen [...]

Earlier in the night Seirra from VersaEmerge tweeted: [...]
