This past Wednesday, an eagerly anticipated text message was waiting for me when I got off work. It read simply, “You’re Set.” It was from SceneSC’s founder and Editor in Chief David Stringer, and was in reference to my attempts to get press access to the Bassnectar show that night. Since emerging in 2005 Lorin [...]
The night of Sept. 18, 2006, Band of Horses packed up their gear after finishing a Monday night show at Headliners in Columbia’s Vista. Front man and Columbia native Ben Bridwell (located center in above photo) probably didn’t know the club he just played would close its doors for good in 2009, barring his possessing [...]

With Record Store Day on the horizon we’re on the verge of hearing a lot of new music, with tons of special releases planned for April 20. Among those is a collaborative 12 inch single with Manchester Orchestra teaming up with Frightened Rabbit for one song and Grouplove for the another. “We wanted to release [...]
After a seven-and-a-half hour drive from Virginia to Pennsylvania that was only supposed to take six and a marginally good night’s sleep, I woke up in Pittsburgh to see snow falling on my friend Bobby’s deck. Sorry, shorts I foolishly packed. It’s not going to be your week. The snow could’ve gotten us down – [...]
While driving home to Virginia this Friday, I learned I would be leaving the ranks of the unemployed nine days later. In the midst of my excitement, I realized I had the perfect opportunity for one last blowout as a slacker – a weeklong road trip up north to visit friends, eat delicious sandwiches, drink [...]
By Terrence Richard of Junior Astronomers Right now I’m tucked away in the van driving what to me seemed to be a Tornado in Florida. Its been some time since we left Austin but it feels like only yesterday I was hungry and sweaty all over. Searching for free booze and new tunes. This is [...]
By Alexis Schwallier: Red isn’t just the name of Taylor Swift’s latest album, or her sold out tour. From red lipstick, sparkly red shoes, and a fire-red guitar, it was obvious the color was the theme of the night. Coincidence? I think not. Everyone can relate to songs about love, heartbreak, and the struggles [...]

Alexis Schwallier shot two shows for us last week, one being this one and one being the Taylor Swift show Saturday at Colonial Life Arena. She did a fantastic job with both of them. Tweet

Saturday at Savannah Stopover started out with a rehashing/learning how the previous night’s escapades unfolded. After being generally unpleased with myself, I was able to shrug off my disappointment and embrace the sunshine and low-70-degree temperatures outside. It was a new day and there were new bands and venues to discover. Since the music didn’t start [...]
