Tonight @ Rumba: Alwood Sisters release “Across The Lines”

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Adriana Mundy

MP3: Alwood Sisters – In The Park

While the writing process of a musician can vary from traditional to bizarre (check out this amazing website describing different methods), sometimes a little distance from your musical counterpart is all that it takes to create something beautiful.

In the mid 2000s, Columbus darlings Amy and Meagan Alwood recorded a collection of lo-fi demos in their respective homes whilst Meagan was living in NYC and Amy was in Ohio. These demos were worked on by one sister, then sent to the other, and back and forth until they decided the songs were complete.

Across The Lines, as this project is now known, will be released this evening in CD format at Rumba Cafe, where the entire Alwood Sisters band will perform the songs. The show kicks off at 10pm.

Friday: Lydia Loveless CD release party @ Rumba Cafe

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Chip Midnight

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!

Eddie Vedder’s working on making the ukulele cool – the Pearl Jam singer recently released an album titled Ukulele Songs featuring the small stringed instrument.

On Monday evening, a young Minnesota songwriter, the charming Savannah Smith, brings her unique ukulele compositions to Rumba Cafe where she’s likely to play songs from her recently completed EP, Leaving Eau Claire, as well as a few covers. This is an early show, Smith goes on around 8pm.

Monolithic Cloud Parade’s final show Friday

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Joel Oliphint

MP3: Monolithic Cloud Parade – A New Ice Age

I’ve always liked Corey Fry’s Monolithic Cloud Parade project, so I’m sad to see the band go. But, as he sings in this mp3 from The Sea and Setting Sun, “Die die die, it’s all gonna die.”

From the Facebook event page:
This is the final show you will see Monolithic Cloud Parade play. Then we die. We will be playing all of the hits that you’ll vaguely recognize unless you’re the Moms or Girlfriends, at which point you will probably know lots of the words better than Corey does.

It all dies at Rumba tomorrow (8/19) with the Saturday Giant and Domes.
