Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos Sign to Epic Records

Posted on October 29, 2007 by | 3 comments

Erik Kang from the band just sent me the news. Margot has signed to Epic Records. New album “Animal” out in 2008. I imagine they need a $230 million deal to pay for the 542 people in the band and their bus of magic.

Upcoming shows:

12/7 Lexington, KY The Dame
12/8 Cincinnati, OH Mad Hatter
12/9 Cleveland, OH Beachland Tavern
12/10 Washington, DC The Black Cat
12/11 Philadelphia, PA First Unitarian Church
12/12 Boston, MA Middle East
12/13 New York, NY Mercury Lounge

With all these “bands signing to label” posts it’s like we’re Billboard Industry Magazine. Okay, not really, but you know.

Last Night in Columbus: Nada Surf, Sea Wolf Kick off Tour

Posted on October 16, 2007 by | 3 comments

Nada Surf kicked off their fall tour last night in Columbus with Sea Wolf. Both bands sounded great and the place was packed (much to the chagrin of a lot of people there).

Nada Surf’s set list leaned heavily towards “Let Go,” which was fine by me — it’s one of my all time favorite albums. While “The Weight is a Gift” didn’t immediately grab me when it came out, it’s been a bit of a slow burner, slowly becoming an essential part of my music collection.

I was a little worried that the Sea Wolf crowd would leave after their set, but thankfully I was wrong. Both bands earned new fans last night, and I give an A+ to the booking agents who put this tour together. If Wilco wasn’t playing in town tonight, I probably would make my way down to Cincinnati to catch their next show together.

Blind Melon tour dates

Posted on August 30, 2007 by | 1 comment

After reuniting last year with new singer Travis Warren, Blind Melon hunkered down in the studio owned by guitarist Christopher Thorn and bassist Brad Smith and started writing and recording new material. The result is 2 CDs worth of new Blind Melon music. Release dates haven’t been set for the CDs though the band has indicated that they probably won’t come out at the same time. In the meantime, they are doing a short, small club tour to get back into the swing of things.

October 8 Providence, RI – Decibel at Club Hell
October 9 New York, NY- Canal Room
October 11 Cleveland, OH- The Grog Shop
October 13 Columbus, OH- The Basement
October 14 Bowling Green, OH- Howard’s Club H
October 16 Chicago, IL- Double Door
October 18 Urbana, IL- The Canopy
October 19 Toledo, OH- Frankie’s
October 20 Pittsburgh, PA- Diesel
October 22 Allston, MA- Harpers Ferry

Whether or not “Harmful Belly” makes it onto one of the CDs remains to be seen but here’s a video for the song shot in the studio.
