White Denim, Tapes 'n Tapes | Metro, Chicago 4.11.08
White Denim One thing I love about SXSW is the inevitable "discovery," that one band that you'll stumble across almost by accident and end up falling in love with. White Denim was one of those bands for me this......

Live from SXSW 2008: White Denim @ Purevolume.com Ranch, 3.8.08
Let the music begin! The past couple days at SXSW 2008 have been geekfest central, complete with a horrible keynote interview featuring Facebook's quasi-demigod of a CEO named Zuckerberg and a shitload of panels dedicated to building (killer) web......

Tea Leaf Green Opens for Mule at the Beacon
New Year's Eve in New York City has a long-running tradition that, were it to be eliminated, would change the entire holiday. No, I'm not talking about the ball dropping in Times Square, although that seems to be fun......

Tortoise brings the noise, Umphrey's McGee brings the Jumbotron
I've spent many a holiday with Umphrey's McGee over the past couple years, so it's always a schedule possibility for me when I see that they announced another three-night stand in Chicago at the Aragon (for the third year......

Dark Star Orchestra 5/8/07, Ithaca, NY
As I mentioned yesterday, in honor of the Grateful Dead's much-hyped show at Barton Hall on 5/8/77, the Mayor of Ithaca created a holiday and the Dark Star Orchestra performed one of their patented re-creations of the show in its entirety. As it turns out, Stanley T. Roper (Live Music Blog friend and frequent Phish Friday contributor), actually caught the DSO's performance last night at the State Theatre....
