One of Baltimore’s most promising bands, Future Islands, bring their dark, spare, synth-pop back to the Tea Bazaar tonight. They’ve deservedly been getting gobs of praise lately from pretty much every publication you can name for their brand new release ‘On The Water’, and they also put on a hell of a live show, with [...]

There’s a show tonight at a relatively new-ish space for shows; [REDACTED INFO] is hosting some bands this evening (I’m not gonna publish the address, but if you don’t know where this is, contact our host or one of the musicians or one of us and we’ll tell you… hint: it’s not at Dust!) The [...]

I suspect y’all have had either a fulfilling or traumatizing Thanksgiving (or some combination of the two), and are now looking to get out of the house and party. Tonight’s Dance Party at the Tea Bazaar should be a lot of fun: It’s being put on, of course, by the Rock Department at WTJU, as [...]

The fine folks at The Garage have put together a show tonight, which will be happening not at The Garage itself (somewhat thankfully, with this weather), but at Charlottesville’s infamous Pink Warehouse. Even if you don’t know all the tales about that warehouse (i.e various notable DMB gigs in the 90′s, and innumerable other semi-legendary [...]

Without a local on the bill for this evening’s show, it’s quite possible buzz has been a little sparse, but I definitely think it’s one worth getting excited about! Brass Bed are a new band on Park The Van Records, from Lafayette, LA, another in a series of bands out of that state’s flourishing indie-pop [...]

There’s a fun little rock show going down at the Tea Bazaar tonight. The latest incarnation of Articulate Chewbacca premiers, finally whittled down to just a two piece band from the one-time mega-monstrosity that it began as. Reports indicate that Adam and Scott will be performing with a drum machine filling the void left by [...]

There’s a handful of events going on tonight… The big one, I suppose, is the CD release party for The Hill & Wood. If you somehow haven’t heard the band yet, you’re probably at least familiar with Sam Bush, proprietor of The Garage, and all-around nice guy. Sam’s been playing as The Hill & Wood [...]
