Quick weekend update!!

Thanksgiving week is always a crazy week, half a week to get a full weeks worth of work done. It’s madness. So I thought before heading into the weekend I would get you an update of all the cool events before I go mad.
Music!!!
We missed a few CD releases from Wednesday, but you can check [...]

CD Review – Count Vesuvius – Self Titled

By Andrew Flanagan
A wholly useless, unnecessary, and associative review of Count Vesuvius’ debut, self-titled, sledgehammering, and probably only album that will ever exist unless not:

CD Review – Maps of Norway – Die off Songbird

By Anthony Newes
Maps of Norway are a four-piece band consisting of drums, bass, guitar and vocals.  They don’t really have a lead guitar player or a lead singer or a lead anything for that matter.

CD Review – Chokecherry – In The Wine Press

By Anthony Newes
First thing you need to know about this record is: if you’re going to listen to it, you’re probably gonna have some fun.  Second thing you ought to know is: if you’re having a fun time, no point in worrying about anything else, just have fun.  Permission granted.

CD Review – Gerald Prokop – “Exits and Obstacles”

By Nelson Heise
I do not know everybody’s experiences in music and art but speaking for myself there are times when I have recorded a track and have just added tons of instrumentation thinking I was taking the tune to a new level.

CD Review – Bill Geezy – Exit Wounds

By Jeremy Anderson

The Bill Mike Band

Listen to song link I Make Peace
Event Listing – Rift CD Review
When I first heard the Bill Mike Band’s first CD “Better News”, I was blown away by the furious grooves, tight yet somehow of the wall guitar playing and the melodic vocals. I become an immediate fan.

The Daily MP3 – The Millionth Word – I Wish You Could See My Home

Listen to song link I Wish You Could See My Home
Oh boy, members from Swiss Army, The God Damn Doo Wop Band, Koalas and I think a few others make up this great new band. I was a big fan of Swiss Army especially their guitar sound, which makes a comeback with this new band. [...]

The Daily MP3 – Little Man – Don’t Pray To Fantasy

Listen to song link Don’t Pray To Fantasy
The critically acclaimed Little Man is Chris Pericelli’s driving force. Solid songwriting, guitar playing and a vision, Little Man is poised to attract more fans with this new release. The release show is Saturday at the Entry.
