From his home in New York, singer-songwriter Chip Taylor sounds invigorated. At 71, the guy could easily sit back and cash in on his past accomplishments. Or, he could just live off the family name. After all, this is the guy who wrote “Wild Thing,” one of the all-time classic…
What a busy musical evening we have on our hands tonight! The only problem? Making a decision on where to go. Anybody got a coin?…
Although not as well known as, say, Green Day or Blink-182, two other bands that emerged at about the same time, California’s Face to Face were always the truest of that bunch to the spirit of old-school punk rock. Led by Trever Keith, the roots of Face to Face go…
Hope you speak Spanish, ’cause tonight’s biggest show — by far, and no offense, Charlie Robison — will be brought to you en español…
…we’ve got two show-going options for you…
The Twilight Singers, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’sThe Granada TheaterMay 30, 2011Much better than: sitting around waiting for the damn NBA Finals to get going. While many folks gathered at parks and other area locales in order to show respect for those who have fought for this country,…
Quite the busy Thursday evening of music we have here. From classic singer-songwriter fare to a trio of quality alt-country acts, there’s a little something for everyone on display tonight…
They may boast a name that suggests a death metal band that just can’t spell, but California’s Dredg are actually an experimental rock quartet out of California that play music of a rather singular variety. For more than 15 years, the band defied easy description by playing an intriguing amalgam…
Although it’s been more than a decade since former Afghan Whigs frontman Greg Dulli was hospitalized in Austin after an altercation with a bouncer, the current leader of The Twilight Singers insists he hasn’t mellowed with age. “Mellowing out is relative,” he says over the phone from his home in…
As the leader of the geeky power trio Primus, Les Claypool somehow managed to turn his love of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart into a tangible career in rock music. Indeed: For the better part of three decades now, Les Claypool has stood tall as one of the strangest ducks…
Both local and national talent are on display this hump-day evening. Choose wisely…

Good Lord. Aside from a trio of metal bands, everything on the musical plate tonight is home grown. And guess what? It’s all pretty great…
Call My Chemical Romance anything you like. Talented. Petulant. Even sell-outs. Just don’t call them emo. “All emo means, to me, is being emotionally disturbed and having really bad hair,” says guitarist Frank Iero, who, like singer Gerard Way, has been consistently outspoken when it comes to folks not calling…
Amazingly popular for a band that lists Frank Zappa and The Residents as influences, Primus have somehow sold a ton of albums, garnered a relatively large audience and pieced together a rather remarkable 25-year career. How Primus’ smart-ass funk-metal has managed to strike a chord with both punks and fraternity…
Everybody’s going to be doing a brand new dance at one of tonight’s shows…..
Quite the diverse trio of shows in our area this evening as a fine local act and a couple of touring combos make things awfully interesting…
