Asobi Seksu FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28 Asobi Seksu—which means "playful sex" in Japanese—is aptly named. Pairing shoegaze inspired grunge-pop with the dynamic vocals of Yuki Chikudate (who slips effortlessly between falsetto, full-out belting, and simply speaking melodically), the band is edgy, harsh, and brisk, yet cloyingly catchy. (Or, in a phrase: playfully sexy.) Chikudate's lyrics are a mix of English and Japanese, which band mates James Hanna and Larry Gorman have encouraged since the group formed in 2004. This blend of language is a defining trait of the Asobi Seksu [...]

We all know that the Richmond Folk Festival is coming to town this weekend, and while the collective of Richmond loses their minds over this event, I'm personally not that big of a fan. But there is plenty of other things going on besides the Folk Fest. Here are 5 you should check out. 1. WARREN HAYNES BAND Blues guitarist Warren Haynes from Govt Mule and the Allman Brothers Band will be performing a solo gig at the National on Friday, Oct. 14. Raining [...]
They promised us a view. Specifically, the Dave Matthews Band Caravan 's own website promised us that from Lakeside, "the panoramic vista of downtown Chicago across the water will provide a stunning backdrop for the festivities." Instead, we got a panoramic view of security fencing and a grubby, toe-stubbing festival ground littered with broken bricks, shards of metal and glass, and a covering of wood chips that were apparently meant to improve conditions but instead lent the entire place a hamster-cage like feeling. It seems that this site of a former steel plant needs some further TLC before it [...]

We were alerted to this item on G. Love's twitter . Listen to King Britt's remix of G.'s "Rodeo Clowns" here . The remix originally appeared on a promotional EP released after the original "Rodeo Clowns" - from the album Philadelphonic - was released in August, 1999 by G. Love and Special Sauce. G, just back from performing at Bonnaroo, returns to the area in Atlantic City on Friday, June 24th at the Dave Matthews Band Caravan . King Britt returns on July 9th to Fluid .
Rap rules Bonnaroo? That was the headline grabber from ABC News' coverage for Day Tree of the popular music festival located on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee. But, we hardly think that, in a musical context, or any other context we can think of, that rap is 'ruling' a music festival where the majority [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Usher in May with new music...lots of CD releases this weekend!

If Blues and Hip-hop had a love child, or rather love children, they would be G. Love and Special Sauce. Although they cannot be justifiably considered mainstream, G. Love and Special Sauce's unique sound has attracted an ever-growing passionate fan base. G. Love's lyrics roll off the tongue with a sweet and tangy delivery. For backgrounds, Special Sauce lays down a groovy bluegrass beat. The result is unexpected but nonetheless a joy to experience. G. Love captivates listeners by connecting with them on a personal level. He's able to relate to his listeners with the messages [...]
Since Coachella and Sasquatch! sold out before some folks even had a chance to crack open their wallets, there hasn't been much need to add a Prince, let alone Die Antwoord . But Bonnaroo is a different type of animal, especially since the Manchester, TN-based festival all but has an unlimited capacity. Plus, with two main stages, three tents, a comedy castle, a cinema, and countless other performance areas, organizers usually take their time in revealing all the planned festivities. Now, two months after the initial 2011 lineup announcement , Bonnaroo has [...]

I've been familiar with the music of Garrett Dutton, AKA G. Love, for some time now. Back in my college days, when I was a big fan of artists like The Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and the like, I also became fairly familiar with G. Love and his band Special Sauce. To me, G. Love & Special Sauce always represented the funky, almost hip-hop influenced side of the late-90's jam band scene. G. Love & Special Sauce: Baby's Got Sauce ( Buy Album ) Having that sound as [...]
