Flashback: Art Brut at Triple Rock (09 Nov 2009)

Oh man, how I love Art Brut. This isn’t really a band, it’s more like a weird art-rock with singer Eddie Argo “singing” or talking over music. Argo writes the best songs, like “Formed a Band”, which tells the secret origin of him forming a band: “Formed a band, we formed a band! Look at us, we formed a band! … And yes, this is my singing voice, it's not irony, it's not rock and roll. We’re just talking to the kids.”

Minneapolis: June 14 to June 15, 2017

Here are some concerts taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area from June 14 to June 15, 2017.

AthFest 2015

AthFest is a well-oiled machine, and they run a tight ship. The 19th annual installment of this festival- which ran from Friday June 26 through Sunday June 28, 2015 in Athens, GA- was no exception. I was impressed at how the bookers, organizers and- most of all- the stage crews were able to stagger the bands just so; there was no overlap between any bands on the outdoor stages and therefore no cacophony. None of the Club Crawl bands started playing until after the last outdoor acts for each evening had ended their sets, so we festivalgoers at AthFest 2015 were able to take in music well into the night.
