Thanks again to everyone who came out to last week’s Ducktails and Avarus show at No Radio. It was a great night! Luke interviewed members of both Avarus and Ducktails for the Ithaca Times. From the article:
Avarus also embrace strains of psychedelic music that value experimentation and improvisation. Reached while on tour by email, the […]

Last Thursday, Minneapolis-based duo The Pines performed at Castaways. Richie Stearns joined in for quite a few songs and it was a really special night! From the article:
“Our dynamic is good,” says Huckfelt. “We just get more and more comfortable with each other as time goes on. We always want to be writing, and trying […]

American rock/folk icon Steve Earle plays the State Theatre tonight at 8pm. Tickets here. As it happens, I just watched The Old, Weird America: Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk (it’s excellent!) and Steve Earle is in quite a big chunk of it. But if you’re interested in seeing him live in concert, the State […]

If you’re willing to do the drive, I’d recommend The Julie Mittens either at Albany (tonight) or Syracuse (tomorrow night) or Indian Jewelry at the Bug Jar (Rochester) on Thursday or Iva Bittova at West Kortright Centre (East Meredith). But there’s plenty of good stuff happening […]

weekend boredom

Nice interview with Steve Gunn of GHQ up at Foxy Digitalis and an even nicer photo of GHQ used in the article. Looks a bit familiar….

After a loooong bout of technical difficulties, Popcorn Youth is officially back up and running! We have soooo much to tell you, and we’re sorry that we were away when there’s been so much good music going on lately. Specifically, the Evil City String Band 4-day bender we embarked on recently. It was a great […]
