Right in the heart of Fishtown sits the gem of Philly’s live music scene, Johnny Brenda’s. One of the best small venues for over ten years, the place feels like a shrunken down gothic opera theater with a balcony overlooking a turn of the century burlesque club. I often leave feeling like the bands I’ve [...]
It took five years after the release of Versus the World’s debut album for the abrasive pop-punk band – founded by former Ataris bassist Mike Davenport — to get together for another record. It took another two years for that second record – this year’s Drink. Sing. Live. Love. — to get released. So what [...]
I had the pleasure to check in with Gregory Alan Isakov via phone interview to see how his summer tour was going and when we can expect a new album. After a long stretch of shows and a few dates playing with the Lumineers in Texas Isakov is working on finishing the newest album which [...]
Catch MUTEMATH on the band’s Odd Soul tour Thursday at the Beaumont Club, and — from MUTEMATH drummer Darren King’s perspective — you’ll be catching the band at the peak of its live-performing powers. At least, so far. “I don’t think we’ve made our best record yet,” King said Tuesday from Salt Lake City. “I [...]
I had the opportunity to touch base with Dallas Green- City and Colour- while on tour promoting his new album, Little Hell. View tour dates here and then click on over to Amazon to download “Weightless”, if you haven’t already, as City and Colour is featured on their Artists on the Rise for November. [...]
Getting the news that you are going to be able to interview a member of your favorite band is almost more scary than exciting. I mean, you don’t want to look like an ass in front of someone who inspires you every day! So writing questions was nerve-racking to say the least, but more importantly [...]
Matt Pryor is a busy man. Many know him as a singer/guitarist from the Get Up Kids, who have spent the last few years celebrating their reunion with a new album and plenty of tour dates. In addition to the Get Up Kids, he has also performed in the New Amsterdams, the family friendly Terrible Twos, and as a solo artist. When he isn’t on the road, Pryor is spending time with his family and taking care of his three kids. In the last 10-15 years, Pryor has released around 15 albums and has still found the time to be a contributing member of his Lawrence community. Currently, Matt Pryor is preparing for the release of May Day, the second album of his solo effort.
The Midwest is getting some much needed love from a New York City indie rock band. Wednesday, November 2, The Postelles will be visiting Kansas City for the first time when they play the RecordBar with The Wombats. Midcoast Station caught up with lead singer Daniel Balk to find out what Kansas Citians can expect and to learn a little bit more about the group.
“Happy Father’s Day, bastards.” That’s how Joshua Tillman opened his set at the Granada Sunday evening. Rather than offending the eager audience that chose to spend Father’s Day at a concert, Tillman was greeted by cheers. Lawrence had chosen to celebrate the holiday with a special Father — Father John Misty.
The Lumineers kicked off 96.5 the Buzz’s summer concert season to a packed house at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater. It was a low key night of good vibes that were reinforced by openers J. Roddy Walston & The Business, The Mowgli’s, The Neighbourhood and Cold War Kids.
Superman is one of the most iconic characters in pop culture. Even people who haven’t picked up a comic or seen one of the many films or tv show iterations have heard the name and know the gist of Superman. So director Zack Snyder and writer David S. Goyer’s big challenge with “Man of Steel” was how to present this character in a new way that we haven’t seen before — a way that stays true to what Superman is, but also doesn’t dull or ham it up. Interestingly, in the quest for a new Superman story, Snyder returns to the origin story and amazingly, he succeeds in making a mostly fresh and compelling tale in “Man of Steel.”
In a year of big blockbuster action movies and gut wrenching dramas, the comedy world hasn’t even been a contender in the fight for blockbuster dollar signs. Cue Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Their latest installment, “This Is The End,” literally puts Rogen and all of his real-life friends into the movie. A big part of the film’s allure is that every character in the movie is literally playing his or herself, but in a story that is as fiction as fiction can get.
