SceneSC contributor Cameron Powell had a blast at Savannah Stopover last year. Not only did he perform with his former band, but he got mixed up with some free moonshine in the hospitality tent. We all know music journalist and liquor are a fiery mix, but a musician/journalist mixed with free corn liquor […]
Mountain Oasis 2013 offered a stunning array of acts and I entered the weekend determined to catch as many as possible. The relatively close proximity of all of the venues, coupled with somewhat spotty attendance over the course of the weekend made this an easy goal to achieve. As a result, I saw the fewest […]
Having some time to reflect on the first annual Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit I’d say it was a success. As with Moogfest in years prior there were several lineup changes leading up to the festival. Many of the artists who dropped (Delorean, Superhumanoids, Big Black Delta) were the ones I wanted to see most, […]
Mountain Oasis was this past weekend, and my full recap will be coming early next week. In the meantime, I have a chance to sit down with Dominic Maker of Mount Kimbie to discuss touring, their new album and James Blake’s hair. photo credit to Ben Hines David Ballou (DB): We’re here with Dom from […]
Mountain Oasis 2013 presents a diverse mix of electronic music both old and new. While there are many established crowd-pleasers like NIN and Bassnectar, it’s hard to miss the opportunity to see emerging artists. This is the music that is happening now and although it will always be around there is no substitute for experiencing […]
We are already less than two weeks away from the start of the first Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit, formerly Moogfest, and the schedule has been out for a few weeks at this point. You’ll have had plenty of time to wrack your brain over whether you’re going to see Nine Inch Nails or Animal Collective on Saturday, Daniel […]
October 2013 welcomes the first Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit bringing much anticipated electronic acts to Asheville, NC. As with any multiple stage festival there are difficult choices and sacrifices to be made as you will be unable to catch every performance. It is for this reason that SceneSC is excited to provide the first […]
Oh man, it’s back. Music Midtown is a beautiful festival in Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA that has been going strong since its resurgence 2 years ago. We covered the festival when it came back 2 years ago and it was a magical experience with artists such as The Black Keys, Coldplay, Young The Giant, and […]

Hopscotch Night 2 got off to an interesting start. After catching Gross Ghost, Future Islands, and Holy Ghost! in City Plaza we made our way to Flether Opera Theater just before 9:30 to get front row seats for Aly Spaltro’s project Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. After getting settled in with the small crowd that was […]
We dove right into the Hopscotch experience last night. Walking down the streets of downtown Raleigh it seems like everyone you see is in a band, and a lot of them are, but most everyone looks like someone you should know. That person’s wearing a plaid shirt, or a band tee, I should know them. […]
By Grant Golden: 1. Sylvan Esso Homebase: Durham, NC Where: Thursday @ 10 PM at Memorial Auditorium Sylvan Esso is one of the most promising acts that North Carolina has had in years. The duo consists of Nick Sanborn of Megafaun and Amelia Randal Meath of Mountain Man, so one would naturally expect them to […]
Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit, the continuation of AC Entertainment’s electronic hinged Asheville music festival, has finalized its lineup for this years event and…..wow. This is one of the most diverse lineups I have ever seen. Take a look at the Friday bill, read from the top: Bassnectar, Neutral Milk Hotel, Deltron 3030 and […]
Recess Fest Recess Fest takes place over 3 days and 13 venues in Charlotte, North Carolina featuring 85 independent bands from the Carolinas and beyond. Recess Fest really cherry picked the South Carolina bands included in their 2013 lineup. All very fine bands that we cover a lot, so for our 10 Recess Fest […]
Festivals seem to be everywhere these days, but few hold a candle to what Hopscotch Music Festival is doing in Raleigh, NC. Now in its fourth year, Hopscotch is spread over 3 days, taking over 15 venues in downtown Raleigh. On Friday and Saturday night the concert moves outdoors, with headlining bands performing in the […]
Thanks to Big Hassle and Bonnaroo for gracing us with this opportunity once again. We look forward to working with them next year. Also, thanks to Jake Causey for writing this wonderful article about the behemoth that is Bonnaroo. This is the second year in a row that I’ve been fortunate enough to make it […]
