In what promises to be the best MidPoint Music Festival in it’s short history, this years lineup was rolled out in phases over the past couple of months. And now today, we get to take all of those names and match them with a venue and a set time …
The National are back. And it’s not like they really ever left. The band that grew up in Ohio but did most of their musical maturing in New York returned to the Buckeye state Monday night showcasing their latest and possibly greatest album to date, High Violet.
It’s been a couple years since we had news of a new full length from Austin based psych rockers The Black Angels, and today the news comes in that they do indeed have a new album on the way. The follow up to Directions To See A Ghost will …

So, I had some time away from Cincinnati. Most readers of this site will remember this post and in the time since then I have found that my path led back to this area. And coming back, one of the things I wanted to do most was get …

It’s hot and humid in the midwest and especially in Ohio this summer. For some reason there are certain bands and music that lend themselves better to the summer heat, and I think Cloud Nothings is one of those groups.

Cincinnati boys Alone At 3AM have some new stuff on the way, and thats music to our ears as summer continues. We really enjoyed their debut album City Out Of Luck, which came out in 2008 on the Tiberius label but felt it was criminally overlooked by the city overall.

Singer/guitarist Eric Earley has been writing songs since a very early age, combining the gentle spirit of his early Oregonian surroundings with his own interpretation of classic and modern rock. Over the last ten years, he’s poured some of his best songwriting into Blitzen Trapper. Confidently throwing weirdo guitar rock into intriguing alt-folk/country, the group nudged their own way into the hearts and minds of music fans with three self-released albums, culminating with the breakthrough Wild Mountain Nation.

I’m happy to be reporting from Bonnaroo again this summer, where once again the relentless summer sun is blazing hot. There’s a chance of rain in the forecast for every day this weekend, but so far no sign of any real clouds. The parking lot is also a scene of familiar chaos as thousands of people set up camp for the weekend. One of my favorite Bonnaroo statistics is that every year for four days it becomes the sixth largest city in Tennessee! The tent city rocks and reels with music, the smell of food grilling, and neighborly conversation. There are people from all over the country here this weekend. As we set up camp we began to mingle and share stories, beers, whiskey shots and laughter.

Alan Palomo’s Neon Indian project started almost by accident. But since the release Neon Indian’s widely-acclaimed debut album Psychic Chasms in 2009, Palomo’s music has taken the indie music; and increasingly, the pop music; world by storm with festival dates, high-profile collaborations, and even a special single release with Mountain Dew’s Green Label. Palomo, who was already performing refined electronic pop under the name VEGA, watched his bedroom-based weirdo synth-pop side project grow into a full-fledged touring force, complete with blog buzz and critical accolades.
