There is another great show coming to the Cincinnati area, and we want to make sure you check it out. Interpol are returning to Cincinnati in a couple weeks after having a May show cancelled after the band decided to instead play a run of shows opening for U2.

Ok, I’ll admit it. I basically ignored Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. for months because I thought their name was downright silly.

The first time I heard UME, I became a fan. The first time I saw UME perform live, I became a big fan. The Austin based band has been at the front of the pack in my mind for a few years now, so it’s exciting to welcome them back to the Cincinnati area tonight for a show at the Mad Hatter in Covington.

Some interesting news out of Clifton today as the historic venue Bogarts has a brand new ‘venue within a venue’ to promote. The news got me thinking about a conversation I have on a regular basis with music friends around the city. Can Bogarts rebuild their image?
