Diarrhea Planet have arguably the worst and best band name at SXSW 2014, but one things for sure, if you see them this year you won’t forget their live show. We kicked off our 2014 SXSW experience with Diarrhea Planet at Hotel Vegas on the East side of Austin and they set the bar high […]
Thanks mostly to Stereofly, more South Carolina bands than ever will be playing unofficial showcases at this years South by Southwest. The one South Carolina band officially playing the conference is Charleston’s Stop Light Observations who play in Austin Thursday night and then make the long trek back to Columbia to play the St. Patrick’s […]
I was at a peculiar point in my drunk where my steps advanced ahead of me without my prompting- I was running automatically, careening along a hastily charted course through crowds of comparatively sluggish festies. ‘We’re gohna miss it,’ my brain slurred, but ‘no,’ my brain responded, ‘Weggan do it allll!‘ Stopping so abruptly I […]
Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. is more than just four days of head bobbing, hand clapping and mass singalongs. ‘Roo is a lifestyle, man. I had the pleasure of venturing from Chicago to Manchester for the 2012 fest with two friends from high school, Bryan and Nick. We knew it was going […]
Last week, all of the Diagnosis’ featured artists were from weekend two of George, Washington’s Sasquatch! Music Festival. Working backwards, this Thursday’s artists are from weekend one, which takes place Memorial Day weekend. Shakey Graves Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the musician behind this one-man-band, is mind-bogglingly talented. Underneath his howling, sexy vocals are a suitcase kick drum […]
Saturday, March 29, 2014 Charleston, SC Brittlebank Park Spring Jam Music Fest officially becomes an annual event this year by returning to Brittlebank Park on the Ashley River in downtown Charleston with a strong mix of local, regional, and national bands. This years lineup is a Southern invasion of bands featuring Nashville’s Augustana, along with up-and-comers […]
2013 Coverage 2012 Coverage Over the last two years we’ve been lucky enough to cover Sasquatch Music Festival, which takes place in the opposite corner of the country from us here in South Carolina. We hope to do the same this year after seeing the stacked lineups that now cover two major holiday weekends, Memorial […]
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 […]
