Family Groove Company @ Canopy Club

April 13, 2007

Pictures from FamilyGrooveCo.com
Family Groove Company, always a Burning Oak favorite, hit the Canopy Club last Friday night for a well-attended show. A very good night for covers, as it always is from the band, featuring the jam from Kansas’ “Carry On Wayward Son,” a rousing “Oye Como Va,” and a repeat rendition of The Beatles’ [...]

SXSW: Megan Melara @ Flipnotics

April 8, 2007

Quickly after Gina Lee & The Brisket Boys left the stage, Megan Melara walked on and began her set. She had a very good vibe and performed nearly all originals if I recall correctly, with the exception of a wonderful rendition of Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah.” I did manage to find a copy [...]

SXSW: Gina Lee & The Brisket Boys @ Flipnotics

April 5, 2007

After awaking with something of a dry throat Friday after quite an enjoyable Thursday evening, my hosts and I headed to Flipnotics coffee shop where they were both playing.

March 31, 2007

Alright, many server issues aside I can get back to my SXSW coverage. After heading out from seeing The Teeth we walked across the street to the Schuba’s 11th Annual SXSW Roundup. I still can’t figure out what a Chicago venue is doing throwing parties in Austin, but all the power to them. [...]

The Mountain Goats: First Thoughts From A Newb

February 27, 2007

I just picked up a copy of Get Lonely by The Mountain Goats yesterday. After hearing about them for years among circles of fans whose opinions I greatly respect, I felt it was time to get my feet wet.
I went into it expecting some acoustic guitars and god-knows-what attitude. What I got [...]

Scanning across eMusic’s wares today I stumbled upon an album called Barnyard Blonde by Peach Truck Republic. On a whim I added it to the queue, and I’m experiencing it for the first time as I sit here and write to you. Apparently these guys have been hanging around Fort Worth, TX, since [...]

Streaming Inbox: The Morning Benders

February 24, 2007

I just got a couple of tracks emailed to me from The Morning Benders (site). Never listened to them before but I enjoyed the tunes, especially “Last Today,” and I thought they were good enough to share. “Last Today” starts off with a nice little Beach Boys-esque vocals and bobs and meanders along [...]
