|
Jim Suptic of the Get Up Kids inadvertently caused a media firestorm back in July when he jokingly apologized for his bands role in creating emo music the interview with Drowned in Sound was seized upon by Rolling Stone and the UKs Guardian. If youve logged on to MySpace... More >> |

Electric Six, the Gay Blades, Millions of Brazilians, Antennas Up! The Riot Room |
Sat., November 21 |
Westport |
|
This Detroit-based bands reputation as a comedy act was forever cemented with its video for a cover of Queens Radio Ga Ga, but thats not how Electric Six frontman (and sole remaining founding member) Dick Valentine sees it. After all, the band had been solidly... More >> |

Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse, Unearth, Born of Osiris, Hate Eternal The Beaumont Club |
Sun., November 22 |
Westport |
|
Hatebreed gained fans beyond its hardcore niche by touring with Slayer and the Deftones, leading to big sales for The Rise of Brutality in 2003. But the album was a step away from the Connecticut band's original mission statement: to create old-school hardcore music in the face of the... More >> |

Russian Circles, Young Widows, Git Some The Riot Room |
Mon., November 23 |
Westport |
|
It's no small feat that this instrumental trio from Chicago works the spaces between indie rock and metal with enough individuality so that both sound fresh.

The Good Foot The Levee |
Fri., November 27 more dates/times |
Westport |
|
On the whole, the seven members of the Good Foot, who have converged on Kansas City from Midwestern states such as Nebraska and Iowa, are laid-back. At rehearsals, members casually straggle in. Collectively, they emit a self-effacing sense of humor. And they're taking their recent success with a... More >> |

|
Hearts of Darkness RecordBar |
Sat., November 28 |
Westport |
|
Afrobeat is not for the faint of spirit. Pioneered by the mercurial Nigerian Fela Kuti in the '70s, the genre is a Yoruba spin on James Brown-style funk. It's loaded with horn breakdowns, improv jazz solos, call-and-response vocals, and rhythmic figures woven as tightly as clay-dipped braids.... More >> |

Westport |
|
From the 2008 Buckle Bunny Chronicles:
It is supposed to be Warrensburg punk night at the Brick. On the menu: the sibling rebel yells of Kosher and Super Black Market.
