• Show Announcements: New Kids On the Block, Holy Fuck, The Allman Brothers, Carter Albrecht CD Release

  Give it ten more years and you'll forget why you hated the Backstreet Boys. Don't believe it? The New Kids On the Block kick off its second North American tour in as many years tonight in Green Bay--with a Dallas show booked for July.Other notable upcoming shows include a 4/20 party at Lola's Stockyard (you'll probably want to do the actual "celebrating" before you show up) and, six months too late for 4/20, the Allman Brothers in October. Oh, and Bachlorette switched venues. Apparently the

• Weekend Round-Up: The Edgefest 19 Edition

  I just spent way too long on Youtube searching for videos from this past weekend in area concert-going (apparently our spring semester interns' last days have come and gone), and all I came up with were videos from Edgefest 19 up at Pizza Hut Park this past weekend.But beggars can't be choosers I guess. Without further ado, here's how you spent your weekend, music fans...Shinedown on Saturday, May 9, at Pizza Hut ParkI actually woke up at fairly a reasonable hour today, which never happens, and
