After watching the Jayhawks squeak past Davidson yesterday, I rushed to Milwaukee to catch Explosions in the Sky (lovingly referred to as “EITS”) play the Pabst. I got settled in just in time to see the excellent opener, Lichens.
Lichens is Rob Lowe. He layed down a twittering of bird sounds over a deep bass that [...]

Review: Explosions in the Sky/Lichens – Pabst Theater
Review: Jens Lekman – Music Hall, Madison
His second night through Wisconsin, Jens Lekman played easily the most beautiful set I’ve seen on a Madison stage in quite a while. The near capacity crowd was treated to a truly special night, and those patient enough to wait around after the show were rewarded with an impromptu 4-song encore performance (playing only [...]

Photos: Jens Lekman – Pabst Theater, Milwaukee
Show of the year Milwaukee? From all accounts last night’s Jens Lekman show at the Pabst Theater was a night to remember. MoB contributor Daniel Brielmaier was on hand with his trusty lens to capture some of the magic. In his words:
“Possibly the most beautiful and joyous show of the year. I’m [...]

Steve Earle interview on ESPN Page 2
It’s baseball season people! I’m counting down the hours till I’m full of hot dogs and beer watching the Milwaukee Brewers open up their season at Miller Park next Friday. My friend Neil, who’s much more on top of his game and season preparation, informed me of a recent interview Steve Earle did [...]
Video: White Denim – “Mess Your Hair Up” (Live)
Coming away from SXSW I have a new vice in the form of Texas-based White Denim. My favorite track; a frantic, foot stomping, blues driven number “Mess Your Hair Up” that reminds you a little bit of the Black Keys and a little bit more like James Brown fronting the Stooges.
Get a taste/listen below [...]
Video: Phosphorescent – “A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise”
Phosphorescent put on a brilliant set at SXSW a couple weeks back. Don’t miss your chance to catch him on Monday, March 31st – it’s $7, and will be money well spent.

Madison Concert Announcement: Lymbyc System
Lymbyc Systym will be touring in support of Love Your Abuser Remixed, which we reviewed for you back in January. They’ll play Memorial Union Terrace on Saturday May 3rd, the weather should be just about perfect in Madison by that time, which means there’s no better place to be in the city, especially if [...]
Review: The Cribs – Double Door, Chicago
The Cribs are definitely one of those bands I always think that I should listen to more of. Their simple, yet classically rockin’ sound is much larger than what you would anticipate from a trio of three brothers. I highlighted them on my to-do lists at both SXSW and Lolla last year, and managed to [...]

MP3: Langhorne Slim – “Rebel Side of Heaven”
“I’m not sure that there’s any other kind, but the songs I write are love songs. Some are literal, about specific events, people and relationships in my life; a form of therapy, self-help for the flowers and the shit along the road of life. Others come from a place far more mysterious. Either way, I’m [...]
Giveaway: Walk the Line (Extended Cut) DVD
As long as this site is printing digital ink, we’ll reserve a special place for the Man in Black. Johnny Cash was one of my musical hero’s, giving hope to any kid with an acoustic guitar that learning a couple of chords could get you in front of people. Obviously, Cash did that [...]
