Kids interview Quiet Corral; band opening for Gomez on July 22 at The Newport

Posted on July 18, 2012 by | Comments Off on Kids interview Quiet Corral; band opening for Gomez on July 22 at The Newport

Fresh off their first ever interview with a rock band (Alberta Cross), Connie and Olivia hit up the Bunbury Music Festival this past weekend where they had the opportunity to grab a few minutes of time from 8 different performing artists. One of those artists was Quiet Corral, a 6-six piece from Lawrence, Kansas that put on a great, folk-inspired set on Friday afternoon.

Quiet Corral has a few upcoming tour dates, opening for Gomez, including a stop at The Newport Music Hall on Sunday, July 22. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show.

Friday: Loyal Divide @ The Newport

Posted on April 20, 2012 by | Comments Off on Friday: Loyal Divide @ The Newport

They may have left Columbus to make it big in Chicago (and they’ve been doing a good job playing on some great bills and generating a buzz not only in the Windy City but on the world wide web), but Loyal Divide has not forgotten about their Buckeye past. It seems like they are playing here more now then they did when they were based in Columbus.

I’m always at a loss on how to exactly describe these guys – they come from seemingly an indie rock (everything from The Cure to Modest Mouse) background but have fully embraced technology and bring a Nine Inch Nails electronic flavor to their output.

Electraplay Studio recently had Loyal Divide into the studio where they recorded “MDLD” which you can see below.

Loyal Divide will be joined by LD, Boombox and Alpha Delta tonight at The Newport. Doors open at 8, show starts at 9. Tickets are $20 at the door.

Tonight, The Hive Dwellers are playing at Skylab. You can’t mention the Hive Dwellers without bringing up Olympia, Washington DIY pioneer and the band’s founder Calvin Johnson. He helped nuture punk’s existence, and ethics. His early band Beat Happening was written about in “Our Band Could Be Your Life” alongside other important punk and DIY legends  like Black Flag, Big Black, and Minor Threat. And of course there is Calvin’s relationship with Kurt Cobain.

The Hive Dwellers “Get In”

It’s kinda of a bummer to talk about someone’s old band . So it must be noted that the Hive Dwellers  themselves are a band of interest. Calvin’s deep voice bellows about  love, loss and subculture dynamics  over stripped down but charming rock music.

Bird and Flower, Erin Earthling and Slave Labia are also on the bill..

SO because of this show, Slave Labia  and I met up at Skylab for an interview last week. The all-girl band recorded an impromptu acoustic cover if Beat Happening’s  “Indian Summer”. We also discussed the name Slave Labia,  some of the more colorful topics they sing about —ie “Masturbating At Work”– and also their feelings about the Riot Grrrl movement.

Video: Danny Brown Rocking Some Wild Cowboy Boots Live At Kenyon College

Danny Brown played at Kenyon College last week. I reviewed the Detroit rapper’s show in the Other Paper. I also video taped the Hip Hop concert. Part 1 has footage of Danny looking for adderall and/or a smoke while sprawled out on the ground after the show. This leads to a brief discussion if the “nword” is a gender or a race designation.
There is also footage of Danny and DJ Skywalker performing “Radio Song” and “Die Like A Rockstar” in the above video.

After the jump Danny Brown talks wanting his live show to sound like his records, and more live footie.

Ron House is obviously a fixture in Columbus rock music.  Columbus emcee Zero Star is also impressed by Ron House’s swag. (did the phrase Ron House’s Swag make you throw up in your mouth? sorry)

Anyway, I am waiting for you tube to make an interview I did with Zero Star and DJ Pos to exist. So I figured I would share this since TOP told you to look at our site today,

Zero Star is playing Donewaiting’s 9th Anniversary along with a band Ron House is in, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments doing “Bait & Switch”  along with Bill Fox, P. Blackk & DJ Bruni, Sundown, and DJ Detox tomorrow Feb 3rd at Ace of Cups.

Friday: Lydia Loveless CD release party @ Rumba Cafe

Posted on September 29, 2011 by | Comments Off on Friday: Lydia Loveless CD release party @ Rumba Cafe

Not exactly a CD release party for a CD that’s been available to purchase both physically and digitally for a few weeks, Lydia Loveless plays Columbus on Saturday night for the first time since her badass twang-rocker Indestructible Machine was released by Bloodshot Records on September 13.

While Josh Krajcik put Columbus in the national spotlight due to his 7-minutes (so far) of fame on the X-Factor (one of Loveless’s first shows was with Krajcik), glowing reviews have been piling up for Loveless, the introverted (at least when she’s not on stage) singer whose biographical tales of local stalkers, woebegone relationships with both bad boys and alcohol, and the reality of everyday life have struck a chord with music listeners worldwide.

Welcome Lydia Loveless back to Columbus on Friday night when she makes an appearance at Rumba Cafe along with The Mooncussers and a solo set from Two Cow Garage’s Shane Sweeney. Copies of Indestructible Machine will be available at the show though you all certainly own it by now!
