Bill Frisell: All Hat
Mid-May brings a beautiful country-Western soundtrack from Bill Frisell, neoclassical strings and mid-’90s alt-rock from Skeletonbreath, modern acoustic jazz and African sounds from Nicole Mitchell’s Black Earth Strings, and precise, über-melodic math rock from Upsilon Acrux. (more…)
Renowned singing teacher Susan M. Carr’s technique for The Art of Screaming! was first developed in 1978 and has since been refined during the grunge music scene. Since then, Carr has worked with bands such as Minus the Bear, Mastodon, and Sunny Day Real Estate. (more…)
The Sword
Our plans this weekend include local shows with the massive stoner metal of The Sword, the experimental jazz of the Umbrella Music Festival, and the raw alt-country of O’death.
And our friends in Austin have another great festival of their own, as the Fun Fun Fun Fest run on Saturday and Sunday.
Shining (Norway)
CMJ in New York, Voodoo Experience in New Orleans, four great nights at Chicago’s Hideout, — this weekend is packed. Shudder to Think, Shining, Coliseum, Fucked Up, The Eternals, sBACH, Deacon John, and Pillars and Tongues are all among our recommendations to catch live.
