Mongrel Heart – Broken Bells

SHOW DATE: Saturday, October 9
SHOW TIME: 4:30 PM @ the AMD stage

I blame this new found love of Broken Bells on Eklektikos, a radio show on our local NPR station.  A few months ago I first heart it – Mongrel Heart.  It’s always sounds to me like a “sandwich song,” where the beginning and the end are [...]

Rooks – Shearwater

Wolves at Night – Manchester Orchestra

I was restless one afternoon a few months back and wanted to go out to see some live music.  I checked online for shows and saw that Manchester Orchestra was playing somewhere nearby that evening.  I don’t remember where.  I had never heard of them before, so I started digging up some of their tunes [...]

A.M. 180 – Grandaddy

Just a few posts back, I talked about Jason Lytle and his new solo effort that seems to be going very well.  You’ll also note that I intended to look a little deeper into his previous band Grandaddy, and friends, I have done just that.  Pretty cool stuff, although a bit different than his current [...]
