South by Southwest: The Ultimate Festival
February 21st, 2010
Posted in music festivals
While Austin, Texas may be just another city on the map, I can’t help but think that maybe they’re putting something in the air or water that makes you believe you are in another world. At least this thought holds true for festivals like South by Southwest and Austin City Limits. I like to think that most passionate music lovers, and even outsiders like myself, are aware of things such as the city’s musical reputation and nickname (“The Live Music Capital of the World”), and that it is also home to artists like Willie Nelson, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn, Elvis Costello and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, all of whose careers took off here. The 6th Street District is undoubtedly the city’s most hopping spot, and there is said to be some two-hundred clubs, bars and music venues just around town. If you look at any concert calendar for any given day, chances are you will find at least one band playing in town that night that you will probably like. It’s almost like this musical paradise is spoiled rotten.
Austin will be especially hopping in a few weeks, when the world’s biggest music, art and film festival takes over the city. From March 12-21, the city will be taken over by over music lovers, music industry reps, artists, film makers, comedians and over two-thousand bands, coming from every continent in the entire world. Although I’m not attending the festival, I always find it fun to look over the lineup and schedule to see what I could’ve experienced. I have no problem checking out bands I’ve never heard of. In fact, that’s half the fun. All styles of music will be represented, with everything from the undiscovered acoustic singer/songwriter’s you may see in small coffeehouses, to some of the biggest names and legendary artists of all time. Some of the names on this year’s lineup include the legendary Smokey Robinson, indie bands like Spoon, Broken Social Scene and Band of Horses, electronica trip-hop outfit The Crystal Method, the Latin and funk sounds of Ozomatli, and singer/songwriter’s like John Hiatt and Jakob Dylan. There’s even a few collaborations lined up that are sure to be some of the best performances all week long. These include the son of Bob Marley, Damian ‘Jr. Gong’, with rapper Nas, Roky Erikson with Okkervil River and Jail Guitar Doors featuring Tom Morello, Billy Bragg, Wayne Kramer and Chris Shiflett.
Cincinnati Does SXSW
For us Cincinnatians, whether you’re going or not, there are a few reasons that you too can get excited about South by Southwest. The Cincinnati music scene will once again be represented well with bands like Bad Veins, The Seedy Seeds, Daniel Martin Moore with Lexington native Ben Sollee, Pomegranates and Julie Neumark, all performing at the festival this year. But if you are taking the trip out west this year, and want to show your love for the hometown bands, I’ll fill you in on when they’ll be playing. Bad Veins are scheduled for the night of Thursday, March 18, playing at Red 7, with bands like I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness and Grand Atlantic. The Seedy Seeds will also be playing Thursday, March 18, at BD Riley’s Irish Pub, with bands like So What, Drive Like Maria and Eldorado. Martin and Sollee, also playing Thursday, will be at the Central Presbyterian Church with Gonzales, Timber Timbre, Sally Seltmann and Dan Mangan. The Poms, also on Thursday, are at Maggie Mae’s with Rural Alberta Advantage and Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Julie Neumark will be the headliner on Wednesday, March 17, at the Victorian Room at the Driskill, with Girls, Guns and Glory, Brandon Jenkins and Josh Charles.

As far as the film showcases go for this year, you’ve got every type of film you can imagine. From short narratives to documentaries, you’re sure to find something you like whether you’re into art films, comedies, documentaries, drama or everything in between. Some of this year’s highlights include I’m Here by Spike Jonze, Four Lions by Chris Morris, American Grindhouse by Elijah Drenner and When You’re Strange, a film about The Doors by Tom DiCillo.

So there you have it. A brief look into this year’s South by Southwest Festival. Kind of like Sundance wrapped inside a record store that has come to life.
If you’re still thinking about going to South by Southwest this year, you can find all your travel needs right here. And if you’ve already got your plans set for this year, have an awesome time and let me know how your experience was by emailing me at nate@brokenmic.com
Seedy Seeds Come Away Big at 2009 CEA’s
November 23rd, 2009
Posted in Best of 2009, Local Music
The 2009 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Show ended not even two hours ago at the Madison Theater in Covington, Kentucky. Over eighty bands were nominated in twenty different categories, which would ultimately represent the best in local music, as decided by critics, venue owners, radio personnel, fans and many countless others in between.
This year’s show featured standout performances from the Lions Rampant, Mark Utley & Magnolia Mountain, You, You’re Awesome, II Juicy, Small Time Crooks and Brian Olive. The event was hosted by Jen Dalton of Channel 12, and featured other keynote speakers like Dan McCabe of CityBeat Magazine, Jim Tarbell, Aaron Sharpe of WNKU, Marvin Hawkins, Elliot Ruther, and Kelly Thomas of the Rivertown Music Club, who gave a heartfelt speech about the Red McCormack Recording Grant Fund. This year’s recipient of the recording grant was Mark Utley and Magnolia Mountain.
Once again, congratulations to all of those who won, those who were nominated, and even those not nominated. Cincinnati has an exceptional music scene not just because of the talent and diversity, but also because of the continuing support of its devoted fans. You hear about places with strong music communities like New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans and Austin, but I like to think that those places don’t have quite the heart that we have here. There’s no reason Cincinnati can’t be on the same level as those cities. Let’s keep it growing!

Popopolis 2009: Travelin’ Thru Time
October 1st, 2009
Posted in Concerts, Local Music, music festivals
Step Into the Time Machine That Is Popopolis
After a seven-year abscence, Popopolis is returning to Cincinnati. The music festival was created in 1998 by Jay Hopper and Mike Breen of Rockets to Mars, who got the idea from San Francisco’s International Pop Overthrow Festival. Breen states that “If you present something as more than just a concert with a bunch of bands, tie it all together with SOMETHING, people are more inclinded to come for some reason.”
The music festival featured many of the best melody-makers in the local and regional music scenes like the Simpletons, Promenade, Clabbergirl, Saving Ray, Giant Judys (featuring Benjamin Davis of Bad Veins), The Tigerlilies and the Fairmount Girls, as well as a couple of bigger headliners like Nada Surf and Superdrag. The last event took place at the Southgate House in 2002.
Popopolis typically served as a benefit show, with proceeds going to LINKS (Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids), as well as a number of homeless shelters. Breen notes that “Some of the performers this year are donating their performance fee to LINKS, but it’s not a benefit, per se.”
The creation of the MidPoint Music Festival actually stems from Popopolis and MidPoint founders Bill Donabedian and Sean Rhiney. Donabedian decided to bring Popopolis back this year, and he’s assembled a cast basically consisiting of a “who’s who” in the Cincinnati music scene, both past and present. Former WOXY DJ, Matt Sledge, will be returning this year as the MC.
Friday serves as “reunion night” with bands and artists such as Throneberry, Mike Landis of Promenade, Rockets to Mars, Messerly and Ewing, Clabbergirl (featuring Rhiney), Bri Love of Swarthy and Saving Ray. Saturday will feature the next crop of local bands looking to be the next big thing like Bad Veins, Dan Mecher of The Turnbull AC’s, Pomegranates, Jason Snell of The Chocolate Horse, Wussy, The Seedy Seeds and State Song.
It’s now October and this may be one of the last musical events of the year on Fountain Square. The weather’s calling for chilly winds and rain, so don’t forget your jackets and hoodies!

Sunday, August 2
Sunday nights typically seem like the kind of night to spend at home relaxing in front of the tube or with the family, but this is one night where, if you’re a music fan, you’ll have the choice of two big shows. Gil Mantera’s Party Dream is back at the Southgate House, this time with a couple of excellent local bands: Eat Sugar (hailed “the next local band likely to succeed”) and Enlou. The show is at 8:30 pm in the ballroom, with tickets $10 in advance or $13 at the door.
But if you’ve got nothing going on, say around 5 pm, you may want to head to Northside Tavern. “Music for the Mountains”, sponsored by Ohio Citizen Action, features several local acoustic, country and folk acts like Daniel Martin Moore, Peter Adams and the Tillers. For the complete schedule, go here. Classical Revolution will be happening in the bar’s front room. It’s free and starts at 9 pm.
Monday, August 3
Billy Catfish is this week’s host of the ever-popular Open Mic Night at the Southgate House. It’s always free and fun, and everyone’s always friendly.
Tuesday, August 4
You won’t want to miss the show Tuesday night at the Southgate House – Deerhunter, Dan Deaconand No Age. Dubbed the “Round Robin Tour”, this show is one of only seven in the country that will see all three bands collaborating together. Also on the bill are White Rainbow, Ed Schrader and Infinite Body. It’s only $13 at the door but $10 if you get them before that. The show starts at 9 pm. If you happen to find yourself getting bored at any point, head up-upstairs to the parlour to catch Underbelly, a show featuring several of the area’s best stand up comedians doing everything except comedy. Find the full lineup here.
Wednesday, August 5
Pixies founding member, Kim Deal, returns home (kind of) with the Breeders. They’ve put out two releases over the past two years: Mountain Battles
Indie rock band, the Airborne Toxic Event, are still milking their phenomenal 2008 self-titled debut album, which includes hit songs like “Sometime Around Midnight” and “Gasoline.” They also released an EP a couple months ago called Happiness Is Overrated, which coincidently is the name of their most recent single. Opening the show is the young, local indie/roots-rock trio, Hazle Weatherfield, who put out their first album early in the year. Mad Hatter – 8 pm – $15. (Critic’s Pick)
It doesn’t get much better than an intimate gig with Wussy’s Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker. They’re the Artist in Residence this month at the Southgate House, which is always free in the lounge. Speaking of intimate gigs from the frontmen of local bands, Jason Snell of the Chocolate Horse will be playing for free at 10 pm at Northside Tavern.
Thursday, August 6
Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band return for their 42nd sold-out performance at Riverbend. He has only played two other venues more than Riverbend: the Tweeter Center in Boston and Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion. Parrotheads will be backing up 275 East at rush hour, but maybe as early as noon.
New York’s Moving Mountains play the Mad Hatter with local indie pop and rock bands All the Day Holiday, Still Pioneers, Static Vessels, Okay Lindonand Bottom Line. Doors at 8 pm ($8) or $7 in advance.
Friday, August 7
Tool brings their psychedelic light show to a sold-out PNC Pavilion. Not much new with them as they’re still playing their popular stuff from the ’90s as well as material from their last album, 2006’s album, 10,000 Days. Opening the show are brother, stoner rock duo, Tweak Bird.
Son Volt(that other band formed from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo, led by Jay Farrar) drops into town exactly a month after their latest release, American Central Dust
The three free shows of the night include another stellar lineup on Fountain Square, when Brooklyn’s experimental, indie pop brother/sister duo, the Fiery Furnaces serve as this week’s major label headliner. Also playing are former Greenhornes/Soledad Brothers member, Brian Olive, Fists of Love featuring former Heartless Bastard Mike Weinel on bass and the Chocolate Horse. (Critic’s Pick)
Jake Speed and the Freddies are at Northside Tavern at 9 pm, while the Tillers and 46 Long play at Arnold’s.
Saturday, August 8
One of the hottest alternative rock groups of the 90’s, Collective Soul, is still going strong. Their eighth studio album, Rabbit, comes out at the end of the month and includes the new single, “Staring Down.” Opening the show is Nashville’s Beatles/Eagles/U2-influenced rock/pop group, Safety Suit. 8 pm at Bogart’s.
With their debut album hitting stores last month, Bad Veins are still churning out the older favorites you’ve come to know like “Gold and Warm” and “The Lie”, some newer tunes that haven’t seen as much life like “Go Home” and “The Ending” and the popular one that didn’t make the final album cut, “Fake Baby.” Also playing are the up-and-coming, Minneapolis indie-pop band now, now every children, Hazle Weatherfield and “L.A. by way of South Africa” indie-rock band, Civil Twilight. In the Southgate House ballroom at 9 pm. $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
Psychedelic, punk rock band, Wh!te G!rls, bring their adrenaline-fueled live show to the Northside Tavern. With Cleveland’s Stimulus Package at 10 pm.

Local Bands at Forecastle
July 7th, 2009
Posted in Local Music, music festivals
When the 8th Annual Forecastle Festival descends upon Louisville’s Waterfront this weekend, several bands from right here in Cincinnati will be playing alongside greats like Widespread Panic, the Black Crowes, the Black Keys and Umphrey’s McGee.
If you’re into the local scene here, I’m sure you know of names like Bad Veins and the Lion’s Rampant. Hell, they may even be friends of yours. If you don’t know them or “of” them, then you should. Just like you should also know about the other two local bands playing the festival: Seabird and You, You’re Awesome.
Playing this Friday at the festival are Bad Veins and the Lion’s Rampant.
Over the past couple years, Bad Veins have been building quite a fanbase both in and out of town, like Austin, Texas for example. I think that they’ve done pretty well so far, considering the fact that they have yet to release their debut album. They’ve played some pretty big deals in the festival world, like South by Southwest and CMJ, and have opened for some pretty big names, like VHS or Beta and Enon. Their self-titled album will be released on Dangerbird Records two weeks from today.
I can’t remember the first time that I saw Bad Veins play, but I think my reaction was pretty much, “I can’t believe these guys are from here.” Having never heard or seen anything like their live show before with any other band, I was completely mesmerized by their use of orchestrated, symphonic backing tracks and telephone/megaphone microphones.
I first discovered the Lion’s Rampant through one of my brother’s CincyPunk Festivals, many years ago. While band members have come and gone, as did the lion suits, not much has changed by way of music or their chaotic, adrenaline-fueled live show. Their sound has become a little more developed or seasoned if you will, sort of like in cooking. Add some flavors here and there, and just let the ingredients simmer and absorb for awhile before completely turning the heat on high. What you’ll get is probably the tastiest treat for your ears – if that makes any sense…
I’m not completely sure on what the Lion’s have been up to recently, but I understand that they are working on an album with former member, Cam Cochran (who also played in the Sheds), and Dan Mecher of the Turnbull AC’s (who also played in Denial). Cam and Mecher will be joining the Lion’s onstage at Forecastle, and I tell you, it sounds like a show not-to-be-missed. If you’ve seen them as a three-piece, just imagine all hell breaking loose when they become a five-piece.
On the last day of the festival, Sunday, Seabird and You, You’re Awesome will be playing.
Although Seabird dates back to 2004 and formed just a few minutes from my home in Erlanger, Kentucky, I was not aware of this band until they kicked off MidPoint last year. One of the bigger success stories in music from the area, they passed on a demo to EMI and were signed soon after. However, it took a little longer than planned to record their first full-length, ‘Til We See the Shore, which saw their single “Rescue” on the short-lived television series, Pushing Daisies.
From the moment they started playing on Fountain Square that day at the MidPoint Kickoff Party, I was a fan. At that time, I was really into piano-driven pop bands like Coldplay and David Gray. But also, during that show, it seemed like they weren’t just trying to write short, catchy pop songs. Often times they would break into experimental, instrumental jams, proving that while they can do the pop thing quite well, Seabird can also improvise and rock.
Though I don’t know much about You, You’re Awesome, one thing I do know is that they are awesome. The Seedy Seeds were the Artist-in-Residence awhile back at the Southgate House, and one night they had this two-piece, experimental, electronic, dance duo open for them. Around that same time I was just starting to get into this kind of music, and I’ve always enjoyed watching musicians operate onstage. What really draws me in to a performance, is when somehow only two people manage to operate all of this equipment and make all of this beautiful noise at the same time. Though I never manage to completely break free and dance around like a maniac, this band will get you to do that if you’re that type of person.
Four of the area’s best bands, representing four completely different styles of music. Louisville’s Forecastle Festival this weekend.
Local Artist of the Month: Bad Veins
July 1st, 2009
Posted in Indie Summer, Local Music
The past couple of years have been quite good to Cincinnati duo, Bad Veins. They’ve played festivals like South by Southwest and CMJ, have had shows with bands like VHS or Beta and Enon, earned multiple nominations and awards at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, not to mention, have had a ton of coverage from a long list of online blogs and music-related magazines from all over the country. They’ve managed to accomplish all of this despite having never released a full-length album.
Well the wait is nearly over my friends. It’s merely just the beginning and the future is looking quite bright for this hometown Indie-Rock sensation. It’s going to be a big month for Bad Veins, and that is why I’ve chosen them as my “Local Artist for the Month of July.”
The duo that consists of Ben Davis and Sebastien Schultz, are finally releasing their first, full-length album, entitled Bad Veins
They’ve got a bunch of shows coming up over the next two months, including the free, CD release party at MidPoint’s Indie Summer on Fountain Square, Friday, July 24. They’re currently in L.A., playing tonight at the Echo, they’ll be at Louisville’s Forecastle Festival on July 10, and have a couple of shows coming up with Dead Confederate – July 14 at the “My Old Kentucky Blog” show at Indianapolis’ Radio Radio and July 15 at the Firebird in St. Louis. Over the first two weeks of August, they’ll be playing a number of shows around the midwest and northeast with Now Now Every Children.
You can also check them out on MySpace or read about their travels and adventures on their blog.
