In February Son Of Eagle will release their second EP to the masses in anticipation of their second full-length release, to be recorded in the beautiful and historic setting of Zurich, Switzerland in March.

I had the pleasure of witnessing Brother and Bones live in an underground setting at the Great Escape festival in Brighton. (Read my review here. ) I stumbled upon the Cornwall-based five-piece completely by accident. What a glorious accident it was. Little did I know I would be witness to one of the most exciting, vibrant and engaging performances I had ever seen. Since then I've been obsessed, but it's difficult to be obsessed with a band when there are less than 10 videos of their songs online. [...]

There's not a lot of space on stage at Chicago's Lincoln Hall. Then again, when you're dealing with an act like M83 , it's sort of an oddity in itself that a group of such sonic caliber can even come to life in the neighborhood venue. (Fact #1: Capacity is capped at 507.) But, it's become a sort of mainstay in the Chicago music scene, and it's a historical facet of an equally historical neighborhood. (Fact #2: The building dates back to 1912, when it was originally called The Fullerton Theatre.) For the first of two sold-out shows last [...]

Chicago indie-rock group Scattered Trees are playing Lincoln Hall next Friday with local band A Lull , and we've got your tickets. The members of Scattered Trees grew up together in the outskirts of Chicago, and soon became a staple of the city's clubs and venues, releasing their debut album in 2006. Over time, it's members moved on, and the band fell to the wayside, separating in 2007. It wasn't until 2009, when lead singer, Nate Eisland, picked up his guitar and began writing what would become [...]

Lincoln LeFevre - 'Miami' (mp3) Forgive me people who take music blogs seriously, for I have sinned and will sin again. Lincoln LeFevre is a stalwart in the Tasmanian punk rock scene, having played in Enola Fall and the excellent Ride The Tiger , who I wrote about last year. I saw him play a great solo acoustic set at this year's Poison City Weekender, where I also took the above photo. He released a fantastic album [...]

The Civil Wars made their DC headlining debut on 23 October at the gorgeous and historic Lincoln Theatre. Washington, DC natives Duke Ellington and Pearl Bailey played on the same stage regularly, as did Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong and Sarah Vaughn, so it's truly a prestigious place to introduce yourself to the DC music scene. But to begin at the beginning - it is a rare thing for me to go to a gig where a completely unknown (to me) support band blows me away and makes [...]

JT and the Clouds Three reasons-as-good-as- Kitten-Mittens to head over to Lincoln Hall tonight... 1. I'm no Tom Skilling , but today's forecast calls for 80 percent chance of boogie as JT & The Clouds develop over Lincoln Hall's stage. The Chicago sextet specializes in southern fried rock peppered with groovy R&B and gritty soul. JT & The Cloud's latest album Caledonia sees the band crafting roots rocking tunes in the vein of the Rolling Stones or the Black Crowes. You'll want to [...]

I know why Minus the Bear is celebrating their Tenth Anniversary Tour : because they are amazing performers. Their show at Lincoln Theatre on Friday, Oct. 25, was incredible. I arrived to the sold-out show with a few friends right before Minus the Bear started. Thanks to some skill we scurried our way to the front and waited in anticipation. Minus the Bear came out and started with a bang. In celebration of their tenth anniversary they played the entire Highly Refined Pirates album and a few new songs. Even though I was [...]

Noah And The Whale By Rosie Duffield October 21, 2011 Lincoln seems to be having a musical renaissance at the moment, with Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Katy B and Friendly Fires all having just, or just about to, hit the city's music venues. But though there are a wealth of acts visiting a place most people have never heard of, it didn't stop the crowds venturing out to see Noah And The Whale last Friday. Far from it, in fact, with Lincoln's Engine Shed at capacity. [...]

On October 1st Lincoln road on Miami Baech was over run by zombies and BeachedMiami was there to document it.
