So I really love music... But I REALLY love fonts.
And these kids KNOW how to do fonts right.
They started this site. Which you should totally check out.. And the music is done by these kids.

Be (B) Sharp Saturday Night

Saturday night The B-Sharps will have their CD release party for Cherchez Kahuna. I first saw these guys last year at Down The Line II where they performed the songs of The Who with Kenny Taylor and they brought down the house. Throughout the past year I caught them a couple of times and they were always full blown performers. I was lucky enough to catch their stint on Little Brother Radio the other week and these kids are really fun and really talented. The Brass Rail's stage will be blessed with these gentlemen Saturday with M.O.T.O. and Flamingo Nosebleed. Take a wild guess who did the fabulous poster...

Jane's Addiction Big Bad Box Set

Jane's will be releasing a rarities box set on April 21st through Rhino. The packaging on the set looks amazing, but the content of A Cabinet of Curiosities is most intriguing. It will include three CDs and one DVD. The first disc is all unreleased demos from 1986 and 1987. The second disc is more demos, but also unreleased live tracks and rarities covers. The third disc is a live show from Hollywood Palladium from 12-19-90. The DVD will include Soul Kiss, the Jane's documentary previously unavailable on DVD. Now if they would only release a remastered version of The Gift.

Arial is the new Spinal Tap

1. If you want a band name, name it after a font.
2. Find 3 of the best artists in the area.
3. Be even more awesome than Spinal Tap!

The Addy's are an award show that I have never/will never be nominated for...
But there are several friends/cohorts that are involved with the 2009 Addys that must be seen/heard to be believed.

There is SO much gosh darn talent involved in the promotion of this, that you must, at least, spend 7 minutes and listen to the three original songs written by Matt Kelley from OLG and performed by members of Definitely Gary to be believed. Also my hero of all things photography related has done the photography for this... That's right, Joel Faurote is flippin' spectacular.

Junkie Orchestra

Adding to the list of bands playing with orchestras... Portishead, Ben Folds, and now Cowboy Junkies. I really can't think of a band that I would love to see more with an orchestra, other than Radiohead, besides Cowboy Junkies. I've always loved their sound, vibe, and voice... I cannot imagine how beautiful this would be. Check it out, it's a short drive to Louisville. They will be performing March 29th with the Louisville Orchestra for the final BB&T Strings Attached show. Tickets range from 25.00 to 55.00 bucks.

Clem is BACK!

That's right kids, the one and only, former NY tourguide and all around great songwriter Eef Barzelay is back with a new Clem Snide album and it drops today! So run out and pick it up, listen to it a bunch and get ready to sing along because on March 23 he's gonna be playing The Tiger Room here in Fort Wayne. Yippy!

The Mothman Cometh

In an attempt to scare the bejeezus out of my dear friend Sean and let you all in on what will put fear in the heart of Sean Smith, check out The Mothman. It's another great tune by the one and only C.Ray Harvey. If I could only get this as a ringback, I could avoid phone calls from Sean for the rest of my life...
