Vans Warped Tour 2007, HHH Metrodome, Minneapolis, MN, July 28, 2007Review: Casual ConfusionWith glimpses of my favorite corn-fed jazz sound (Kevin “BF” Burt & the Instigators), motown soul (Marvin Gaye) and melodic metal blends (Sevendust, P.O.D.), watching Minneapolis power-trio Casual Confusion live is the closest you will ever get to reliving the Jimi Hendrix Experience. We’ve been rocking out to the group’s self-titled debut all week — an imposing 10 track album for the discriminating music fan. We must give big props to bewitching group leader Colin Hodges, whose soaring, sweeping guitar solos underscore his own spirited vocals track-to-track. The group plays Bunkers Bar in Minneapolis tonight with . . . → Read More: Review: Casual Confusion Review: Seth Lakeman : Introducing…Vol. 1 and 2 (EPs)Seth Lakeman Following his $600 DIY, Mercury Prize-nominated album U.K. folk singer-songwriter Seth Lakeman is preparing his next album and official U.S. debut, Poor Man’s Heaven, this fall on Manhattan Records. Until then, Lakeman is satiating our undying thirst for freeform folk with the release of two 3-track EPs. This isn’t really our kind of music, but here’s a sample track to test out yourself… Seth Lakeman : “The . . . → Read More: Review: Seth Lakeman : Introducing…Vol. 1 and 2 (EPs) Review: UNKLE : War StoriesUNKLE Although it’s been four years since Never, Never, Land graced our tinny JBL desktop speakers, U.K. trip-hop outfit UNKLE have been listening and waiting to unfurl their latest blitzkrieg on their unsuspecting fan base. War Stories is a marked departure from the UNKLE of old, and that’s a good thing. For one, check out this stellar list of guest artists: Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), The Duke Spirit, 3D (Massive Attack), Autolux, Gavin Clark (Clayhill), Ian Astbury (The Cult), Twiggy Ramirez, Pablo Clements, Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), David Catching (Eagles . . . → Read More: Review: UNKLE : War Stories Interview with EditorsNeo-post-punk, U.K. brood rockers Editors are basking in the glow of their highly anticipated Back Room follow-up, An End Has a Start (Epic/Fader), which hit U.S. shores last week. Editors : “Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors” (Jools Holland stream; radio edit stream) We had the honor of chatting with Editors’ bassist Russell Leetch this afternoon to chat about the new video, the album, upcoming tour and the “Birmingham sense of humor.” Read on… Perfect Porridge: Where are you right now? You guys have a little break here before launching . . . → Read More: Interview with Editors Review: Tegan & Sara : The ConTegan & Sara Canadian twin songstresses Tegan and Sara Quin release their their fifth studio album this week, The Con. We aren’t familiar with 2004′s hit album, So Jealous, or any of their previous work. We do know the duo teamed up with Christopher Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) for some production help and invited some notable guest contributors, including Death Cab’s Jason McGerr on drums) Matt Sharp (The Rentals/Weezer) on bass and guitar virtuoso Kaki King. Far from the folk-rock/folk-punk Lilith Fair genre of bands, The Con benefits from electronica influence . . . → Read More: Review: Tegan & Sara : The Con Review: Silverchair : Young ModernSilverchair The opening salvo of Silverchair’s newest album in five years, Young Modern, is misleading. The opening grungey power chords of “Young Modern Station” quickly give way to falsetto vocals, mature transitions and strings (stringts!) we just didn’t expect from the prepubescent band behind 1995′s smash Frogstomp. After thorough review, digestion and research, we are finally ready to write this review without yearning for some reverb. If this was their debut, Silverchair would be hailed as the Australian Arcade Fire — a buzz band worth watching…frontman Daniel Johns as a 27 year-old . . . → Read More: Review: Silverchair : Young Modern CoreSource Productions Compilation Vol. 1Amy Van Patten’s CoreSource Productions at Studio 8 has released their first annual compilation, CoreSource Productions Compilation Vol. 1.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Williams to chat about the band, their controversial track “Baghdad Love Hotel” and whales… Who is Savu Sea? How did you guys get together? Concert Review: Great Northern, The Comas, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, The Donkeys, First Avenue's 7th St. Entry, Minneapolis, MNGreat Northern, The Comas, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, The Donkeys Last night was indeed a unique night for music in Minneapolis, as two national tours crossed in the night like nomadic gypsys on the tiny stage of The Entry. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and The Donkeys’ tour was headed west; Great Northern and The Comas’ 23 date tour was kicking off and headed east. Yet here, in the bowels of the legendary First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minn. On a Tuesday evening, the stars aligned for . . . → Read More: Concert Review: Great Northern, The Comas, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, The Donkeys, First Avenue's 7th St. Entry, Minneapolis, MN |
