Ever since I read about – and got hooked on – electropop-IDM sensation MNDR (Amanda Warner) on Sheena Beaston’s blog, it seemed that well-earned hype has grown exponentially. MNDR is everywhere: magazines, radio, blogs, Facebook advertisements, Mark Ronson’s infectious “Bang Bang Bang,” and now on tour with Chromeo. Maybe it was all the hype or [...] [...]

 One comment | I really didn’t want to enjoy Kate Miller-Heidke‘s 45-minute set last night in Washington, D.C. My other concert reviews on this site have been full of praise and I wanted to write a scathing review; certainly the Australian’s quirky pop, which I had only limited exposure to prior to the show, couldn’t win me over. I [...] [...] November 12th, 2010 | Tags: 9:30 Club, Concert, Concert review, D.C., Kate Miller-Heidke, Steven Page | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Live Reviews |
4 comments | “What is she? Some kind of magician?” my wife inquired as Isobel Campbell shaked, rattled, and pounded several unique percussion tools during “Back Burner.” Indeed, she is. As the songwriter in her unlikely indie-folk collaboration with enigmatic Mark Lanegan, Campbell has masterfully orchestrated the musical backdrop to highlight perfect vocal constrasts. Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan [...] [...] October 16th, 2010 | Tags: Concert, Concert review, D.C., Hawk, Isobel Campbell, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, Mark Lanegan, Rock and Roll Hotel, Willy Mason | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Live Reviews |
One comment | I first heard Jack Tatum (aka. Wild Nothing) while listening to FM4 radio in Germany a few months back. “Summer Holiday” rang out through the car speakers and ended without the DJ identifying the band before starting another song by another artist. I assumed it HAD to be some obscure, Sarah Records band from back [...] [...] September 30th, 2010 | Tags: Captured Tracks, Concert, D.C., FM4, Jack Tatum, Sarah Records, Wild Nothing | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Live Reviews |
Leave a comment | Jesca Hoop is supporting Eels at Terminal 5 in NYC on September 25 (this Saturday!) and we have TWO free tickets to give away to a lucky winner — drop us a comment on this post with anything at all (hopefully something interesting…) and we’ll pick a winner at random by Friday.

11 comments - (Comments are closed) | After a nearly two year hiatus from touring and a lineup change, the atmospheric and always fashionable Interpol demonstrated Friday night at The NorVa in Norfolk, VA, that it’s back in full stride. In support of its upcoming self-titled fourth record, the NYC-based post-punk kings immediately showed off the new (not the song): the absence of lanky [...] [...] August 1st, 2010 | Tags: Album Reviews, Concert, Interpol, Norfolk, Paul Banks, The NorVa, Twin Tigers | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Live Reviews |
One comment | Considering this is such a long video, I hesitated to post it. But then I listened, transfixed, to the first song of the set, “Sigh No More.” It continues to baffle me how the band can conjure up so much raw intensity with only a kick drum and tambourine in terms of percussion. Anyway, if [...] [...] July 8th, 2010 | Tags: Brooklyn, Concert, Mumford & Sons, Video | Category: MP3, Video |
Leave a comment | D.C. ghosts (nice ones!) of a long (but not forgotten!) past, No Second Troy, have finally returned with a new single, “This is the End of Me” off their new album, Colors due out April 27. They’re releasing it in conjunction with their upcoming show at the 9:30 Club next Friday, February 18, so I [...] [...] February 17th, 2010 | Tags: 9:30 Club, Concert, D.C., MP3, New Albums, No Second Troy, Pop/Rock, This is the End of Me | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | The artist: The incomparable Sufjan Stevens. The song: “Too Much Love” (according to the title of the video). It’s a 7-minute epic played by Sufjan at a show in Ithaca Wednesday that features brass, synth, guitar, piano and a whole lot of talent. The quality of the video is pretty outstanding for YouTube. And the [...] [...] September 25th, 2009 | Tags: Concert, Music, Sufjan Stevens, Video | Category: Concerts / Tour Dates, Video |
Leave a comment | Bear Hands was a pleasant surprise – musically. On stage they were nothing special, but certainly sounded nice. They were kind of funny to look at, as the lead guitarist, who actually added the necessary atmosphere to fill out the sound and bring together some of the dreamy, ambient parts of the songs, was soooo [...] [...] July 23rd, 2009 | Tags: Album Reviews, bear Hands, Concert, MP3, Music, Siren | Category: Album Reviews, Concerts / Tour Dates, MP3, Special |
