Brought to us by Black Heart Procession’s Paulo Zappoli, Mr. Tube & The Flying Objects is a saxophone infused, distorted, digital, rhythmic galactica. According to the band’s website, their forthcoming album Listen Up! is supposed to capture: “the sounds of horns that drift through the back alleys of our ghettos.

Well I generally bemoan anything at House of Blues, but I guess if you’re feeling up for it, this isn’t a bad show to hit up. Fortunately I’ve seen these bands gobs of times. Deadboy & the elephantmen are opening and I know some of you kids like them.
Tickets are $20 and doors open […]

Only a few days into the tour, The Procession will be touring their little black hearts out for the next several months. With The Castanets in tow, I guess that makes Jacks the place to be tonight. Each band is celebrating relatively new material, with Black Heart Procession’s The Spell being the most recent.

To be released on September 12th on Sarathan Records, The Purrs newest album doesn’t actually contain any new material. The bulk of this 9 song album was previously released on 2005’s The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, with two songs coming from their self-released EP No Particular Bar, No Particular Town.

The Coup, an Oakland based hip-hop group, have been releasing politically radical music since Kill My Landlord in 1993. I, however, had never heard anything from The Coup other than the rants and raves their music has caused from friends and critics alike. And after seeing their unique brand of fresh, smooth, jocular, and […]

The mere fact that Thom Yorke even recorded a solo album is enough to lead some Radiohead fans to scream, “Treason!” While many found themselves in total bewilderment. Others, myself included, were excited about the upcoming release from one of music’s most consistent entities.
One of the primary points of contention many […]

If I didn’t have gobs of stuff to do, I’d totally be at this show. Brightblack used to play with Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. His new self-titled album is stellar. I thoroughly recommend making it to this one. Mairee Sioux is the opener.
Doors open at 9PM and cover is $10.
