Over the years Charlotte, NC’s DIY music scene has grown from an underground hotbed to the mainstream thanks in part to Treasure Fest and Recess Fest, both festivals sharing a lot of similarities. Now in its third year, Treasure Fest takes place mostly in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte, with 70 + bands spread [...]

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 [...]

Petunia failed me again. Petering out on the road, I was forced to pull over. She has a penchant for embarrassing me as soon as I see anyone I know. She knows what she’s doing. So, I had to roll my busted bike up to Bar None to the welcoming committee of wise-cracking cigarette smokers [...]
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 [...]
DanManor Last week Upstate filmmaker Daniel McCord traveled to Columbia for the Indie Grits Festival to check out some films and do a little Q & A after the screening of his own short “Don’t Kill The Messenger.” McCord made the wise decision upon leaving Greenville of bringing his film equipment in case the opportunity [...]
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 [...]

With his last two albums, Kiss Each other Clean and Ghost on Ghost, Chapin, SC native Sam Beam has shed almost all of his singer songwriter stereotype. That’s to say, if you were a fan of The Shepard’s Dog and releases previous to that, and went into a coma in 2007, woke up in 2013 [...]
This weekend is one loaded baked potato, ya’ll. Sour cream and bacon bits and all of that. If you didn’t get a pass for the Indie Grits festival, aren’t all about a Love, Peace, and Hip Hop Festival, or you even feel like skipping a play directed by Sweet Vans/sandcastles musicboy/local talent Bakari Lebby, jaboi’s [...]
Unconvinced that a simple bowl of Syou ramen would do anything to calm the belligerent hunger sprites in my stomach, I shoveled a fish-paste cake into my mouth. “What did I just eat?” “Kamaboko.” “…?” “A fish-paste cake.” Before I had time to conjure up a facial-expression with which to react to that news, the [...]
The annual Indie Grits festival hosted by the Nickelodeon Theatre in Columbia, SC gets kicked off Friday April 12, with an opening party on the 1600 block of Main St. featuring music from Say Brother and The Royal Tinfoil and a DJ previewing sounds of Columbia’s first Hip Hop Family Day. While the 10 day [...]
Bonobo, aka Simon Green, has been crafting tapestries of organic down tempo beats for over a decade now, with each new release furthering refining his sound. In a way this evolution mirrors that of fellow UK chill/downtempo/whatever you want to call it artist Four Tet. Both artists’ work has begun to resemble more traditional dance [...]
