Breaking in the Elbow Room
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 [...]
Show Review: All Get Out
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 [...]

Manchester/AGO/Kevin Devine review
On Sunday night, Manchester Orchestera, All Get Out, Kevin Devine and Dead Confederates played at Headliners in Columbia, SC.

Marry a Thief Jingle Ball Review
(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 [...]

Show Review: Baumer’s Farewell
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 [...]

Show Review: This Machine is Me
Last week This Machine is Me was joined by 1997 and National Product at New Brookland Tavern. According to my expert calculations 90% percent of the crowd that was at the show was there to see TMIM. I know what you are thinking. Isn’t 1997 on Victory Records and don’t they average around 1,000 plays [...]

Show Review: A Little R in R
Read in Response “Finish Strong” The Channel August 23, 2008 I had the oppurtunity to go check out Read in Response for the first time last Saturday night in Greenville at The Channel and was impressed with this band on multiple levels. I’ve only heard good things about them from my friends at Clemson and [...]
Show Review:Marry a Thief and The Decade
Marry a Thief opened up their performance Friday night at New Brookland Tavern performing “Honestly Bored” and “Every Little Star Remix”. Just Aaron and Erich on stage building up the crowd for the full band. These two songs do a great job of showing off Erich’s voice which I consider to be one of the [...]
