Show Review: The Mountain Goats
On Tuesday night at the Visulite Theatre in Charlotte a large crowd of people were eagerly awaiting a band who are known all over the world. Surprisingly, the crowd consisted of a large number of alternative middle-aged couples. A group that I do not usually see at the concerts I go to. It makes sense [...]

Moogfest 2011 Installment 1
Tobacco Although the festival ran Friday through Sunday, Tobacco played a pre-show Thursday night at the Asheville Music Hall. The elusive three-piece cranked out an underwater electro-hop drum assault for a capacity crowd. Listeners familiar with Tom Fec and Black Moth Super Rainbow will notice similarities from the Vocoded vocals to the malleable synths, but [...]
Moogfest 2011 – Saturday
This Saturday, I drove up to Asheville, NC to check out the 2nd day of this year’s Moogfest and as expected, it was fantastic. Unfortunately I could only go on the Saturday since I went to see Jay-Z & Kanye West on Sunday (which was also amazing). I arrived there a little late and missed The [...]
Videos from Hopscotch
After my day 1 recap, my Hopscotch experience turned into a blur of day parties and fuzz bands. There is no way you’re going to see every band you want to see, so you really have to pick and choose and just enjoy where you are. Of Spin’s top 8 performances at Hopscotch and we [...]
Show Journal: Sleigh Bells – Asheville, NC
Right off the bat, I know that you have three questions for me. 1) Was the show an explosion of amazement? 2) Were there a lot of drunk moms at the show? 3) Did you find out Sleigh Bells‘ spirit animals? The answer to all three of these question is a big HELL YES. [...]
Show Review:Explosions in the Sky
By Kurt Rambis: Charlotte, North Carolina is known for a lot of things. In the business world it is known for its big banks. In the entertainment world it is known as being the setting for the hit television series “My Brother and Me”. Most importantly it is known for people who have called it [...]
SXSW Day 2 Recap
My feet are blistered so yours don’t have to be. We did a lot of press yesterday and then holed up at the favorite gentlemen showcase for the rest of the night. Here are a few pretty pictures for your eyeballs. neon hitch @ the pure volume house family of the year @ the CNN [...]
Kopecky Family Videos
Kopecky Family Band Team Stringer was at The Channel in Greenville Friday night to check out The Kopecky Family Band on their Neato Burrito Qdoba tour. Lucky for us Ghosts of the Great Highway was added to the show late. Unlucky for us, there is no Qdoba in Greenville, so we didn’t get any free [...]
First HoSc Show Review
So the first show at Scene SC’s House of Softcore went off without a hitch, and all in attendance had a great time (especially Ben Walker) and saw an amazing show. In fact, it was such a good experience that I feel it’s a foregone conclusion that House of Softcore is going to be your [...]
This Weekend in Shows: Restoration and Rocketboys
On Friday night alone the Scene SC team attended three shows. We kicked off the night by seeing Bess Rogers and Lelia Broussard at The White Mule. It was an early show and there were only about twenty people there, which was really disappointing because both of these artists are really good. So stop complaining [...]
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 [...]
Show Review: Bess Rogers/Jenny Owen Youngs/Emily Lynch
Dear Diary, last night was OSM. There were more girls than guys at the show. “So this is what a room full of girls looks like,” is what I was thinking the entire time. What heaven might look like all of the time. Then Jenny Owen Youngs started talking about Ke$ha and I realized [...]
Show Review: Confederate Fagg
To say that Confederate Fagg rocked a packed house at New Brookland Tavern Saturday November 14th would be a bit of an understatement. To truly understand the level of rock-n-roll debauchery unleashed upon West Columbia that night, one need only have seen the piles upon piles of plush animal stuffing and pornography strewn about the [...]
Show Review: Gallows Save Warped Tour
So I haven’t written about my Warped Tour 09′ experience yet because there really wasn’t that much good to say about it. I almost feel like I did 10 years ago when there were only a couple of bands on Warped that I had any desire to see. A more appropriate title of this post [...]
