Rob Van Winkle himself will be in Florence tomorrow night performing under the name that made him famous “Vanilla Ice.” Second of all. I’ve had to do way too much research already to even write about WHY IN THE [...]
Scene SC Acoustic Session
Filming this was way more of an adventure than the first one. We were lucky to get Terrence and Philip of Junior Astronomers in the women’s bathroom for 5 minutes in the middle of the show. While this was being filmed, their van got towed and we got kicked out by New Brookland Tavern staff [...]
Scene SC Acoustic Sessions
We’ve started doing Scene SC Acoustic sessions in the women’s bathroom at New Brookland Tavern.

For the first one we got [...]

Show Review: Japandroids
I went to Snug Harbor in Charlotte Saturday night with my buddies BK and Will to check out Japandroids on their tour through the south with A Sunny Day In Glasgow from Philadelphia. The show was sold out, but really not that crowded. Probably sold out by fire code standards, but who follows those? [...]

Show Preview: Dave Bazan at New Brookland Tavern
Friday March 19 New Brookland Tavern 9pm There hasn’t always been a lot of excitement around Dave Bazan’s shows at New Brookland Tavern.

Album Review: Charlotte Gainsbourg-IRM
By Jared Buchholz If there’s one thing for certain about I.R.M (M.R.I backwards. The album a concept based upon Charlotte Gainsbourg’s hospital visit two years ago for cerebral hemorrhaging), Beck produced it. From the lyrics, co-written, to at least an instrument per song, with his backup vocals all throughout, it‘s all Beck. And it sounds [...]
