The concert gods can be cruel, to say the least. For more than 10 years, I’ve been waiting for God Street Wine to get back together. In the meantime, I’ve seen nearly all of its members play shows of their own with the various post-GSW bands they formed. Now, as a major component of my [...]

DaveTV – Live from the Beacon
Posted in News, Upcoming Shows, tagged Beacon Theatre, Dave Matthews Band, Fuse, Madison Square Garden on May 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t like the idea of promoting something, especially after I’ve been asked to promote something. It makes me feel like a shill. Worse yet, an unpaid shill. Still, I do happen to think this is kind of cool. I read about this show for the first time this morning and even considered writing about [...]

I’ve spent my entire life staring in awe at guitarists. I’ve seen Clapton, Trucks, Haynes and Betts, Garcia, Springsteen, Malkmus, King and Guy. I’ve stood and danced and studied as my favorites picked and bent and pulled their way to new dimensions of song and sound, all on the surface of these six-strings. Well, watching [...]

I won’t be there, sadly, but it appears a newly constructed Lo Faber Band will be playing some God Street Wine tunes, among other stuff, at the Awesometown Festival in Morrisville, PA this weekend. If you make it down, please give us a review in the comments section. For more details and an interview, check [...]
Animal Collective on Letterman

In honor of their upcoming show, Wednesday night at Terminal 5, I’m psyched to post a clip of Animal Collective playing “Summertime Clothes” on Letterman. If those dancers don’t get you psyched for the show, I don’t know what will!
Wilco News

Very quickly, I just gleaned this news off BrooklynVegan: Wilco’s new album is called Wilco (The Album). That is convenient, since it features “Wilco the Song.” Also, wonderfully, Wilco’s opener at Keyspan Park this July is none other than Yo La Tengo! I’ll be there. Will you? For more Wilco news, check out my review [...]

You probably won’t hear from be for the next few days, as I’m heading down to New Orleans for JazzFest. I’ll take lots of pictures and let you know about the best of what I see after I get back. Among the artists I’m looking forward to… Friday: Wynton Marsalis Spoon Drive-By Truckers Trombone Shorty [...]

Update: I’ve learned a few things here and there about today’s shows. First off, it turns out that the Dead did originally apply for a permit to play Battery Park, but the city turned them down. That’s how that initial rumor got out there. Also, there was some confusion about them being on Letterman. I’d [...]
