It’s going to be a hot, beautiful weekend and the only place to be is outside. Lots of great things going on; Kings Island opens for the year on Saturday and I’m sure the place will be packed with people of all ages, from the coaster enthusiasts waiting hours to check out Diamondback and Firehawk, [...]

For the second night in a row, a local music release show at the Southgate House brought in a sold out crowd, again turning away fans at the door. Friday night, 500 Miles to Memphis drew nearly a thousand people to the whole house show, which featured over ten bands on all three of its stages. Last night, [...]

It’s Just Water, It’s Just Music
As Thursday afternoon rolled along in Cincinnati, Ohio, it appeared that the weather gods were not about to play nice with music fans by putting an end to the dreary weather.

Out-of-Town Picks
Like a lot of people, my first taste of Chairlift came about because of their hit song “Bruises” that was featured in an iPod commercial.
