HOLY GRAIL, CAULDRON, DARK BLACK ( Dante's , 1 SW 3rd) Read our article about Cauldron . SHELLEY SHORT, DARREN HANLON, WHITE LIGHTER ( Mississippi Studios , 3939 N Mississippi) Perhaps you have heard Shelley Short's honeyed croon creep out through the doors of your favorite haunt in days past.

Shelly, how come I had no idea you had a new record coming out? "Time Machine/Submarine" is a lovely song, filled with her almost childlike croon and warm washes of electric guitar from (I'm assuming) collaborator Alexis Gideon. And the video is even better, a [...]
