This past Wednesday, an eagerly anticipated text message was waiting for me when I got off work. It read simply, “You’re Set.” It was from SceneSC’s founder and Editor in Chief David Stringer, and was in reference to my attempts to get press access to the Bassnectar show that night. Since emerging in 2005 Lorin [...]
The night of Sept. 18, 2006, Band of Horses packed up their gear after finishing a Monday night show at Headliners in Columbia’s Vista. Front man and Columbia native Ben Bridwell (located center in above photo) probably didn’t know the club he just played would close its doors for good in 2009, barring his possessing [...]
The first time Atlas Road Crew played 5 Points Pub in Columbia, SC it was a last-minute deal. The popular 5 Points venue had a band coming in that didn’t have a big draw, and they needed an opener that could make it just hours before the show was supposed to start. So the bartender [...]
Last week both Mat Cothran projects set the internet abuzz with the much-anticipated release of the first single from the new Coma Cinema album Posthumous Release, and with the release of Holo Pleasures via his full band Elvis Depressedly. While the new Coma Cinema song “Satan Made A Mansion” made its national debut on Spin, [...]
Leo the dog would learn to love me one day, but at the moment, he was clearly very suspicious of where my loyalties lay. Shifty-eyed, he paid close attention to my every step as I approached the cerulean Moonhouse. There to greet me was Phil Russell and Jay Ellis, the somewhat sunburnt mooninites that felt [...]
May 11, 2013 11am to 8pm Rosewood Crawfish Festival Over the years I’ve heard a small crowd of folks complain about the music at Rosewood Crawfish Festival, but you won’t get any of that here. Every year we’ve previewed the Crawfish Festival lineup and enjoyed the mix of solid local acts paired with a more [...]
By Alexis Schwallier: Red isn’t just the name of Taylor Swift’s latest album, or her sold out tour. From red lipstick, sparkly red shoes, and a fire-red guitar, it was obvious the color was the theme of the night. Coincidence? I think not. Everyone can relate to songs about love, heartbreak, and the struggles [...]
Since I first heard Ramphastos–AKA Will Flourance–almost a year ago, I’ve been anxiously awaiting any and all of his new work. Although the latest single, “King Louie,” has been out for just over a month, I’ve been sitting on it until now. The press release Flourance sent to SceneSC says that his fourth album, Alakazam, [...]
“Ruins” made its debut on the 2013 SceneSC Sampler. “Ruins” is more than the first song released by The Sea Wolf Mutiny since their excellent debut release The Last Season. Much has changed since that time in August, 2011. New members in the band, a wider audience, praise among music critics, and life changes such [...]
Like most of its citizens, most of the United State’s favorite holiday traditions immigrated here long ago. The Germans brought us the Christmas tree, the Gaelic tradition of Samhain morphed into Haloween and the French that colonized Louisiana gave us Mardi Gras. Saturday, Krewe de Columbia-Ya-Ya, Columbia’s first Mardi Gras krewe, brings their favorite beaded spectacle [...]
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
This Saturday brings Atlanta-based Gringo Star to Columbia for a jam-packed show at New Brookland Tavern. In addition, the show features three exceptional Carolina acts: Say Brother, Junior Astronomers and Dear Blanca. Although they’ve got a pun for a name, Gringo Star is serious about playing unadulterated rock-n-roll. Way back in 2011, the group received [...]
Its that time of the year. The stockings are all hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that sir St. Nick will soon be here. Time for Christmas parties and ugly sweaters. Well, not ugly sweaters here in famously hot Columbia, SC, but that shouldn’t get your spirits down. Egg nog and Christmas-scented candles [...]
