Peelander-Z

Peelander-Z hits Reggies on May 16th.  Their 7th album came out in April and I don't think there is any stopping this band from planet domination. For all sorts of cool stuff check out www.peelander-z.com .

Hotel Vegan Party

Here's what it looks like at a SXSW day party with free music, reasonable beer prices and a very camera-happy photographer.  The band Pond absolutely killed on the inside stage (more on them in an upcoming post).

Best Tracks of the 80's

NME is back with a 100 Best Tracks of the 80's List.  Of course there are quite a few on there that I'd throw right in the trash but as you can see it's pretty full of things like the Cure, New Order, the Clash, the Smiths etc.

My Morning Jacket / Band Of Horses

Mark down Wednesday August 22 at Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion for My Morning Jacket playing with Band Of Horses.  No details at this website but maybe soon?

Teenage Fanclub

I just want to say that Teenage Fanclub the band is way better than Young Adult the movie.  It's watchable but leaves you scratching your head when it's over and it's an hour and a half you are not getting back.

Flavorpill / 10 Classic Rock Songs

Thanks Flavorpill.  Just wanted to say thanks because I rarely click your links but do like this one.  10 Classic Rock Songs We Never Want To Hear Again.

The Waco Brothers & Paul Burch

Of course you never want to miss a Waco Brothers show if at all possible.  Ever.  Be sure to check them out along with Paul Burch Thursday at Fitzgerald's.  They'll be breaking out their new collaborative CD Great Chicago Fire and is sure to be a blast.  Totally Fuzzy has the new album streaming here.

New Walkmen

I'm posting this because The Walkmen have a new album coming out and I'm hoping to see them up in Milwaukee in late June.  Oh yeah, here is a new song. The album is due out on May 29.
