The Troubadours are one of the most excellent and significant band to come out of the burgeoning Baton Rouge music scene. They play, my favorite, experimental rock. The quintet combines accordion, banjo, euphonium, percusion and a slew of other instruments to make a a highly unique sounds. No cover, so no excuse for missing this […]

Alright, Corea is a Scientologist, but he’s also a legendary Jazz pianist who has played alongside practically everyone imaginable, including Miles Davis throughout the 60s. He’ll be supported by Brazillian percussionist Airto Moreira.

Millionaire at Mercury Lounge
I like these guys despite the fact they remind me of 80s hair metal. I’ve never seen them live, […]

They’re like a happier version of Lord of Acid. I like it. Check them out on Myspace.
Wolf Parade with Holy F*ck at Webster Hall
Yea, sold out–surprise.

Liquidrone frontman Clint Maedgen and keyboardist Casey Mac are playing playing a special show sans band tonight. No performance art, just the Liquidrone songbook and “other surprises” as Clint has said. It’s going to be an intimate show, whatever that means. They play experimental rock and are one of my performing bands. Success is knocking […]

This show will be supported by Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos and Something for Rockets. It’s a pretty good panel of up-and-coming indie acts. Doors open at 8PM and cover is $15.

Strays Don’t Sleep with Josh Rouse at Town Hall
These guys remind me of Soul Asylum for some reason. I’m not sure […]

The Dirty Dozens Brass Band at the Canal Room
These guys are a New Orleans mainstay. They play at Le Bon Temps Roule to a packed house […]

For those of you who don’t know, Kieran Hebdan is the man behind Four Tet. Hebdan is also the is also the frontman of British post-rock band Fridge I’m not really sure what to expect from this show, since it’s billed with his name and not as Four Tet. Nevertheless, I predict this will be […]

These indie powerpoppers have some catchy stuff. They’re on the cusp of success, and I believe you’ll understand why after checking them out. Show starts at 11:30 with a $12 cover at the door. You can listen to them on Myspace, if you wanted to first get a feel for their material. They’re apparently from […]

Ah yes, a little dirty Southern music. It’s experimental folk night at Zeitgeist. Dirtfoot is folk punk–yea figure that one out. It works though. Check them out on Myspace if you don’t believe me. They sound something like what The Squirrel Nut Zippers would be if you dragged them through some hurricane puddles and didn’t […]
