Dinosaur Jr. is a band that flew under my radar for a very long time and I’m not really sure why. In my younger days I listened almost exclusively to 90’s alt. rock. Mainly, because at the time it was the 90’s and that’s what was on the radio… but also because 90’s rock was…
Saturday the 16th: St. James & The Apostles @ WheatStock 2015 Ya I know these guys turn up in our concert picks pretty often but it’s only because they fucking rock… and you know what else rocks? Beerfests. Combined the two and you’ve got yourself a good time. St. James goes on at 6:00 so…
It’s not often that guys are allowed to call things “cute”. Their own newborn son, an attractive girl, maybe a baby seal. That’s about it. But I’m going out on a limb here and saying the pair of lead singers (and guitarists) from Of Monsters and Men are a cute couple. I have no…
5/7 HIATUS KAIYOTE @ THE PARADISE ROCK CLUB – Check out the jazzy sounds of the Aussie band self-described as “Multi-Dimensional, Polyrhythmic Gangster Shit”. Tickets are sold out though so either pay the mark up online or rob a scalper since they do not have feelings anyway. THE SILKS @ T.T. THE BEAR’S PLACE –…
Everyone is supposed to hate this album. A good amount of people had already taken a stance against Mumford & Sons due to their overnight success and the over-saturation of their first two albums. Also they were British. Goddamn redcoats. But even the biggest fans of folky four piece were warned in advance of…
It’s been over three years but My Morning Jacket has finally released a new album… and I don’t really know what to make of it. To be fair I’ve only listened to it a few times although I can’t see it growing on at this point. I’ve loved everything MMJ has put out up until…
Holy shit…. summer is here, the weather is great and there are some great shows happening this week so get off the couch and see some music. Wednsday the 6th: Atmosphere @ The Trocadero I know we don’t cover anything hip hop related very often here at EBE… but I’m from Minnesota and I’ve got to…
The fact that Green Day was recently inducted into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame might tell you something. That something is probably that they are pretty old. I don’t think it tells us that they were good or popular. I mean Ringo just got in as a solo act and who the…
Apparently not everyone appreciated the negativity of my last review. Well, tough titties, that album sucks. Having said that, I was possibly unfairly influenced by listening to a string of albums that just kept disappointing. So today I’ve decided to clear the slate by intentionally examining something that I’ve loved since I was diapers. Or…
Wednesday the 22nd: Hurray for The Riff Raff @ World Cafe Hurray for The Riff Raff are a folk / Americana band from New Orleans and if you haven’t heard of them already you should probably just go to this show. World Cafe is one of the best sounding venues in town and I couldn’t…
