Small Sanctions will release Feather Habits Tuesday October 1 at New Brookland Tavern. I’ve hardly been able to contain my excitement over the release of new music from Small Sanctions for a couple of reasons. First being, they practice in my basement, and they have been for about the past 6 months. It’s been impressive […]

Sept. 3, 2013 Conundrum Music Hall 8pm (doors at 7pm) $7 in advance / $8 at the door It’s fitting that Helado Negro means “black ice cream”; it’s not whimsy, necessarily, but there is a sort of playfulness in the music that does not negate its warm, inviting quality. Roberto Lange, the man behind Helado […]

Guest post from Daniel Machado of the The Restoration. The Restoration will be performing at the Girls Rock Columbia benefit taking place this Friday at New Brookland Tavern.

Girls Rock Columbia Facebook Event When my sister was 12 years old she bought a drum set with money she had saved up from baby sitting. I’m sure my parents and the neighbors absolutely loved to hear us play “Closing Time” over and over with the garage door half-opened. Obviously, we secretly wanted people to […]

Facebook Event Throwing an indie-rock summer music festival in Columbia, SC is a scary thing to do. Downtown Columbia turns into a ghost town in the summer, with students gone, the legislator out of session, and the stifling heat keeping people indoors. Kudos to the brave Recess Fest folks and to Jessica Oliver (Hauswerk, Can’t […]
When I interviewed Atlas Road Crew earlier this year we talked about how they had won the St. Patrick’s Day battle of the bands, and they mentioned how they were going to record a single for their new song “Hot Rod”. Since then the guys decided to take it up a notch, and record a […]
And so the day finally came when our most prized Parisian, a sharp young man appropriately named Pierre, had to leave behind our humid habitat and return home to regale fellow Frenchmen with stories of 40° Celsius weather and $4 40s. His last hurrah was staged at the ever-swanky Speakeasy on Saluda, and, walking up, […]

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 […]
