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.
If you are like me, you support the merch table at concerts as much as you can. I know whenever I go to a concert I check the merch table for some rare tour only vinyl or new t-shirt to sport. For some bands, a good night at the merch table is the difference between a successful show or not (business wise.) I guess that’s why this article really sparked my interest about what the future of the merch table looks like.

Yes, you are at the right blog to win hockey tickets. No, ENS is not morphing slowly into a sports blog (although that would be fun.) Actually, we are just really passionate about Cincinnati and feel like their is some sort of kinship between music fans and hockey fans.

I’ve only lived in the Cincinnati area for two years, so I’ll have to use that fact as an excuse for why Tuesday’s show at the Southgate House was the first time I’ve ever been to its upstairs room, named “Juney’s Lounge.†I don’t know why it hasn’t happened before, but now I definitely hope to see more acts here.

One ticket giveaway ends and another one begins today here on ENS. And it’s not like we would give away tickets to a show we weren’t excited about, but this one has us really stoked. The show is on a Monday night next week, so you only have a few days to get your hands on a pair of tickets to see Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings along with The Heavy.

Walking into the Frightened Rabbit show at Southgate House this past Thursday night, I had a reason to be optimistic. Their 2008 release Midnight Organ Fight was my top album of that year and their newest release Winter of Mixed Drinks has been a favorite so far this year. While being optimistic, I was worried though that my expectations were too high. After all with such great work on studio albums there were not many places this band could go except down in my eyes.
