Is it just me or have you been exhausted lately? I'm really not sure if it's seasonal or if I should see a doctor but I just can't motivate lately. This weekend I am determined to get myself off the couch and out to see some live local music. If I/we missed a show let us know by sounding off in the comments section. Friday: Over at the Crystal Corner you can catch some Americana and Rockabilly with Delilah DeWylde & the Lost Boys and Earl Foss and the Brown Derby [...]
The songs on Daniel Knox's new, yet unreleased record, Evryman For Himself remind me a bit of the vampire-rock-opera-for-puppets that Jason Segal's character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was working on. Now I know that movie was a comedy and the music was intended to be funny yet I found it strangely compelling and so outside the mainstream that it was more refreshing than it was amusing. So the same can be said for the gothic cabaret stylings of Daniel Knox. "I Make Enemies" is a fine example of what I'm [...]

Haley Bonar took a moment to share 5 of her favorite albums with Muzzle Of Bees. Check out her picks here!
I first saw Haley Bonar opening for Andrew Bird at the High Noon Saloon in 2006 . I was hooked and have since lost count of how many times I've played her fabulous album, Lure the Fox . Since then, Madison has been fortunate to have Haley return on many occasions, most recently behind her equally great album, Big Star . Haley Bonar returns to the High Noon Saloon for a $10 show on Friday, November 20th . [...]

Forgive me for being the crotchety 28 year old here, but I don't get kids most of the time these days, what with their penchant for stars like Paris Hilton or music like anything you will ever hear on the radio, but at least there's some kids out there these days doing something that makes sense. Teenage quartet The Lower 48 is a new band comprised of an eclectic blend of classically trained musicians, singer-songwriters and a smoky-voiced female vocalist. Their debut, Everywhere To Go , is a five-song EP recorded [...]
Zoe Prinds-Flash Portland needs to build its very own Ellis Island-perhaps this can be the new remodel of Memorial Coliseum?-to greet all the new bands relocating to our city. We can even shorten or change their band names (if they sound too ethnic). "Give me your tired, your poor..." yeah, that sounds like every musician I have ever met. Next up on the great Portland relocation, the Lower 48 . Clearly fearing collapsing bridges and Kent Hrbek's hunting program , the [...]
Message via Guante , post originally spotted at Culture Bully : Noam the Drummer put together this megamix of our new album, An Unwelcome Guest , essentially condensing an hour-long zombie-superhero-love-story concept album into 15 crazy minutes. In it, you'll hear some flashes of the story, a few of our guests (Haley Bonar, Chastity Brown, Eric Blair of No Bird Sing; the album also features Big Quarters and Prolyphic, though they're not in this mix) and an idea of how the album as a whole sounds. We'll be releasing the LP in [...]

Is it still hip-hop if the boom-bap is replaced by lo-fi winding guitars with echoes of lost blues tracks and indie sensibilities? No, but with an charasmatic frontman in Eric Blair and a measured, thoughtful approach to songwriting they make for a winning combination. From the ashes of the short-lived Hyder Ali comes No Bird Sing Minneapolis' newest "we're not rap" hip-hop-influenced (sorta) bands. With more in common perhaps with Black Keys boogie swamp than anything related to rap music's street culture origins. And for No Bird Sing that's just fine. They celebrate the release [...]
Darrin Back Another week, another Mercury music section to flip through while you fill your lungs with the sweet odor of your new pentagram-shaped Slayer air freshener . Huh, it really does smell like Dave Lombardo. First the North Stars and now this? Minnesota loses out on Haley Bonar , but their loss is Portland's gain. Now if we can only get Mike Modano to relocate here. LISTEN: Haley Bonar - "Better [...]
