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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Magnetic Flowers at NBT from pxsoul on Vimeo. I’ll tell ya where we’ll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. And beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talkin’ bout a little place called…The Elbow Room. Enticed by good music and a $2 cover I made my first [...]
All Get Out-Lucky Bastard from Scene SC on Vimeo. (Yes, we know “decides” is spelled wrong.) The folks over at Metromix Atlanta had a bunch of good things to say about All Get Out‘s performance in Atlanta last week. I had the opportunity to go to this show and meet some talented people involved in [...]
When I was mentioning people I saw, I forgot to mention one of my favorite local bands of all time. I saw George Cooper of the Geek Rock Gods Love Apple. Also Check out Our Love Apple Tribute to the past HERE. (Photo Courtesy of Catherine Brown) I mozied on down to 5 Points about [...]

Splattered Inc is a new blog in town writing show reviews and helping out the Columbia music scene. They just happened to have posted a show review of my band Cats and Cobras, so I’m sharing it with you here. Thanks to the guys at Splattered Inc. and keep up the good work. Cats and [...]
On Sunday night, Manchester Orchestera, All Get Out, Kevin Devine and Dead Confederates played at Headliners in Columbia, SC. I had been looking forward to this show since Manchester Orchestra first posted it on their myspace. I made sure to tell people about this show every time I was on air at WUSC. I also [...]
(Photos Credit Sarah Kobos) Dear Headliners, Would you please start opening your doors more than 30 minutes before show time or figure out some way to get people in the doors faster so people don’t miss the bands they are there to see. Just a suggestion in customer satisfaction. In regards to Marry a Thief’s [...]
Written By-Bakari Cayla Fralick-Just as Quietly from Scene SC on Vimeo. So. I went to USC’s Acoustic Cafe last night, and it was pretty fantastic. Everyone who played impressed me, I must say. Cayla Fralick Andy Lehman Cherry Case This Machine is Me. My wife Cayla Fralick was up first, and was spectacular. I’ve never [...]
Sometimes in the past when I have done show reviews I will name people from other bands that showed up to support other bands. If I were to do that for the Baumer show the list would be way too long and I’m sure I would accidentally leave people out. It might be easier to [...]
