Ever wonder what it would be like to have dinner with a band? Well, so does IFC who are rolling out a new show called Dinner With The Band.

If he's performing solo outdoors under cloud cover, he'll seemingly conjure rainstorms while debuting a righteous new tune from his forthcoming Domino debut Heartland ; while at the Brooklyn Academy of Music , he'll seamlessly flesh out his tones with the help of a symphony orchestra. That sort of versatility is a prerequisite to being the New York Times ' quintessential...

It's a twenty three track collection of hits and obscurities, album favorites and unheard exclusives from the Daptone Records catalog. For those...
I got the opportunity to see War on Drugs guitarist and recent Matador acquisition Kurt Vile on the final date of his American tour. I turned the following in to another local blog but was horrendously late in doing so.

It has only been a few months since I made the move to Brooklyn from Charlottesville, so I thought I’d give a little Cville music shout-out. Although it’s a pretty small city, Charlottesville has always had a fairly bustling live music scene. But over the last few years, it had been marred by a [...] Related posts: Help Rebuild the Georgia Theatre: See Zac Brown Band at the Fox Theatre...
Toronto – If there’s ever been a neighborhood that has risen to prominence in the past few years, it’s definitely Brooklyn. I guess in actuality, they are a city. Anyways, it’s quite impossible to deny that Brooklyn has produced some of the best music in the past few years and I guess finally some media [...] Related posts: Remix Wednesdays: Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks (Fred...

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are a funk/soul band. They are signed to Daptone Records, where the Dap-Kings are the house band. They are widely thought to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Part of the way this is achieved is to shun modern digital recording methods in favour of using traditional...
Well it was as epic as I had hoped and then some. Here is how Rolling Stone described it, Under pristine conditions at the Empire Polo Field and in front of a devoted Phish crowd of 40,000 fans, the Vermont foursome rollicked in Exile ’s swamp blues and roadhouse country, extending several songs with their own jams, highlighted by a spacey interlude between “Ventilator Blues” into...
