Thursday in Columbus: Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Andrew Patton
YouTube Preview Image

In what is a pretty big deal for the Columbus “modern funk” community, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings make their Columbus debut at the Newport on Thursday night. For those unaware, Jones and her band have been one of the leading lights of the modern soul revival for the last ten years. The Dap-Kings provided most of the backup for Amy Winehouse’s “Back In Black” album, among other projects, and have spawned multiple other successful outfits like the Budos Band and the Menahan Street Band (well, they were sampled for a Jay-Z single, good enough for me) on their namesake label, Daptone Records.

Finally, the band’s endless touring schedule brings them to our fair burg to present their exuberant live show. I’m not sure of the official theme/purpose of this tour, but they do have a new single and a new album of unreleased tracks and B-sides, Soul Time! is forthcoming (Note: This is currently looking like an import release, with no mention yet at the Daptone site, but the CD/vinyl will be available as part of the Black Friday RSD promotion). Doors open at 7pm, Detroit’s The Wrong Numbers open.

(EDIT: Scheduled release information for Soul Time!, direct from Daptone:

- Germany – October 28th
- Rest of Europe – October 31st
- USA – Black Friday, November 25th. Record Store Day exclusive!)

Photos: Mates of State, Tin Armor, Flotation Walls live

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Rachael Barbash

Last Saturday was a busy one! I was able to hop around Columbus from Mates of State with Other Lives at the Newport. Then down to Gallery Hop to catch Tin Armor at the 83 Gallery and finally Flotation Walls at Carabar.

Tonight in Columbus: Yeasayer @ Newport

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Adriana Mundy

MP3: Yeasayer – O.N.E.
Tonight marks the return of Brooklyn-based Yeasayer (and our friend Ahmed Gallab aka Sinkane). It’s been over a year since their last show at Skully’s, but between a new record, constant touring of the world and television appearances, this comes as no surprise.

Odd Blood has received acclaim from multiple reviewers across the US and UK since February and supplied the demand of fans globally, including appearances at prominent festivals like Coachella, Splendour in the Grass, Reading and Latitude. Last month they also released new single “Madder Red,” which features yet another typically strange Yeasayer video. Check it out above.

Opening the show will be Georgian-based Washed Out (stage alias of Ernest Greene), whose chillwave sound has been gaining exposure over the last year. The Newport Music Hall will open its doors at 7pm.

Monday: Minus the Bear / Everest @ The Newport

Posted on April 25, 2010 by Chip Midnight

Consider this a sneak preview show – both Minus the Bear and Everest have new records coming out in May (MTB’s Omni comes out May 4, Everest’s On Approach on May 11) but will be sampling from those records at the Newport on Monday night.

MP3: My Time (from Minus the Bear’s Omni) / Full album stream

Minus the Bear are an interesting creature, they’ve built a big following with their synth-driven, experimental, funky pop sound (think Mute Math meets Ben Folds, Cave In meets the Alan Parsons Project) despite various members roots in hardcore bands such as Botch and These Arms are Snakes.


Everest meanwhile is, well, not a supergroup but the members have played with the likes of Sebadoh, Folk Implosion, Earlimart, Great Northern, and the Watson Twins.

Everest

The band was handpicked by Neil Young’s manager to join Young’s Vapor Records and released Ghost Notes in 2008 on that label. On Approach finds the band jumping to Warner Bros. and the sophomore album sounds every bit as rich and warm as the debut – at times it sounds like Jeff Buckley fronting Wilco (and I don’t drop those names lightly).

Tickets are $20 at the Newport Music Hall door. Young the Giant kicks the evening off around 8pm, followed by Everest and Minus the Bear.

The Cool Kids Are Way Better Than Jurassic 5

Posted on May 28, 2009 by Wes Flexner

I used think I was funny and say that Chicago rappers The Cool Kids are the new Jurassic 5. That was meant to be completely an insult towards the idea of throwback rap.

But shit, doods persona are a lot, ahem cooler, than Charlie Tuna and all those cornball jamband nerds. They don’t sing song over Dave Mathews percussion. Plus I can fuck with the miminal post-Neptunes production and a general feeling of superiority from the reality of how Allah made some of us .

Anyway, here is a video of the Cool Kids telling you how they want to be the reason you cop a system.

They also want you to download their new mixtape Gone Fishin which involves Don Cannon somehow. You don’t get the feeling Don Cannon got involved one of those pay to play scams that mixtape dejays use to get extra money off fanbase lacking rappers that are trying to work their angles. Shit bangs. Download it here:

Gnarls Barkley in Columbus

Posted on July 12, 2008 by Robert Duffy

Just announced: Gnarls Barkey is coming to Newport Music Hall in Columbus on Friday, August 1. Buy tickets here.

Sort of weird for them to be playing the smaller Newport, but Flogging Molly is already scheduled at Promowest. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these two shows switched closer to the event, but you never know..
