What thoughts flutter through your head when you hear "supergroup"? I would imagine it's not similar to what goes through my mind: The Highway Men , The Super Friends , "We Are The World" ... I digress. 2012 has graced us with yet another supergroup that may not be as influential as Johnny Cash plucking along side Willy Nelson, but when you mix members of Deer Tick , The Black Lips , Los Lobos , Dead Confederate , and Six Finger Satellite , you got yo' self a SUPERGroup. Diamond [...]

John McCauley has already had quite the busy 2011, having toured and released albums with both the indie-roots super-group Middle Brother and with his longtime band Deer Tick.

I missed when Dead Confederate performed their set of Neil Young covers at the POPPED festival, but everyone gives them positive reviews when they put on those shows. Here is a track from one of their shows earlier this year in Charleston. I cannot wait for some new music from these guys. Well overdue. DEAD CONFEDERATE - MELLOW MY MIND (NEIL YOUNG COVER)

Although they've been off of the local live circuit for a few months, it should be no surprise to anyone that the members of Big Rock Candy Mountain have had no trouble picking up where they left off. Michael Girardot is a constantly-working artist, splitting time between his front man duties for BRCM and keyboard work with both the Revivalists and greatest band in the universe Rotary Downs, while drummer Paul Thibodeaux - a classically trained jazz musician - regularly collaborates with everyone from Bionica's Sasha Masakowski to Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship's [...]

I am becoming more and more confident in talking on the radio. I am slowly developing my voice - my on-air personality. There is still room for improvement; namely in the transition from Stuarto's show to mine, but I'll get there eventually. Last Friday's show was centered around indie-folk again, with plenty of psychedelic folk, orchestral folk, and folk-pop as well. As started last week, two songs will be featured at bottom. "Notorious Lightning" by Destroyer off Your Blues "Shanty for the Arethusa" [...]

Scuzzy rock and roll never seems to go out entirely of fashion, like brick architecture on American college campuses or suit jackets for dinner. But, Georgians, in geography not style, Turf War spit a no-nonsense version of rock that has largely been cannibalized in independent music by something allegedly more esoteric or thoughtful or market-driven. This type of unfiltered, whiskey on a sore

As POPPED! Music Festival quickly approaches, I'm trying to get up on some of the different acts performing during the two day event down at FDR Park. Dead Confederate is not one of the performers I need to brush up on or check out. I've been a fan of these guys since the first time I heard frontman Hardy Morris scream the opening lines to "Heavy Petting". Rumor has it DC will be performing a Neil Young cover set at POPPPED, but I am hoping that is mixed in with some original material. Either way, they'll [...]
