  Atlanta's Black Lips will hitting the Granada on March 18 to promote the band's sixth proper album. According to a statement to Stereogum from the band's drummer earlier this month: "Like 200 million thousand is how much our parents love us, or 200 million thousand is how many records we're going to sell ... 200 million thousand trees in the state of Oregon." 200 Million Thousand is due February 24 on Vice Records.

• Incoming: The Game to the Granada

  Got Game?Jayceon Terrell Taylor, who goes by the Game when he's laying down iron-hard verse over tough, angry beats, is coming to the Granada in Lawrence on April 4. I guess this was announced a while ago, but I just found out. Heck yeah! Game's 2008 release, LAX, was highly acclaimed, but I'm more a fan of his previous work, such as this cut from his 2006 release Doctor's Advocate, which is uniformly and thankfully unmarred by Lil Wayne's damn robot croak or Ne-Yo or any of those other sidecar

• Incoming Concert Updates: Bone Thugs canceled, Crue on the way

  All-singin', all-rappin' Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are all-not-comin' after all to the Granada on April 24, apparently. We have as yet received no explanation for the cancellation. Refunds at point of purchase. But as if to make up for this tragic turn of events, the umlaut-sporting, scandal-rich, withered and wiry and still totally rockin' kings of glam metal Mötley Crüe are coming to the Sprint Center on August 9. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, March 21. VIP tickets hidden between Tommy Lee'

• Concert Review: Mastodon at the Granada, April 13, 2009

  I was at the Granada last night next to the sound board getting ready for Mastodon to come on, and I'm going to be totally honest here and tell you right now it was pretty unlikely I was going to give this show a bad review. I've loved every album they've put out -- including the one they just released and were rumored to be playing front to back on tour -- and didn't see disliking them unless they completely phoned it in. I'd like to tell you about how they came on stage and did an amazin

• Concert Review: Dillinger Four and Japanther, 6/10/09, at the Granada

  REVIEW BY IAN HRABE Dear touring punk rock bands. If you decide to come through Lawrence, please do not play at the Granada. Despite what you may have heard about the place getting a new sound system, based on last night's show, your mix will sound muddled and your vocals will be practically inaudible. Though quieter acts can manage, any band looking to rock the fuck out should look elsewhere because, goddamn, this show was ruined because I've never been to a loud show at the Granada that sound

• Concert Review: Metric, 6/12/09, at the Granada

  REVIEW & PHOTOS BY ELKE MERMIS As Canadian electro-rockers Metric broke into their first song of the night at the Granada on Friday, all eyes were on Emily Haines, whose girlish vocals hovered lightly on the thick layers of blue-tinged synths swirling over the audience. The crowd was smitten. They were slain. And they should've been. After taking a three year break, Metric's disparate parts have reunited from their various solo projects to produce Fantasies, an album that marks the first truly

• Concert Review: Jenny Lewis at the Granada

  REVIEW BY IAN HRABE Last night at the Granada, amid the smell of industrial-strength permanent marker mingled with various perfumes in a crowd of rowdy young women and their boyfriends, I bought everything Jenny Lewis was selling. Scott Spychalski Though I've always found the vocals on her solo records to be a bit too thin for her country-folk-gospel songs, by the end of the night I was reminded of why Jenny Lewis is one of my favorite female singers in the business. Her set featured an equa

• Review Slide Show: Tilly and the Wall at the Granada

  BY NICOLE REINERTSON What do you do when the tap-dancing percussion section of your band gets pregnant? Go on tour! Duh. Tilly and the Wall were joined by Lawrence locals Fourth of July and Fortuning Saturday night at the Granada. Dancer Jamie Pressnall, the band's sole percussionist, subtly announced (wearing a Peggy Noland dress complete with baby and umbilical cord) she is five months pregnant. Nicole ReinertsonClick for slide show.

• Concert Review: Mewithoutyou, the Dear Hunter

  I walked into the Granada last night toward the end of a set by a band with at least seven members, a lot of hair and - I'm pretty sure - a full horn section. I didn't catch their name, but the hirsute frontman, who wore a Davy Crockett-ish hat, made a big point about how he was actually homeless. In a sense, isn't every touring musician? -- I thought to myself as he left the stage.Mewithoutyou parted the tall grass to the Granada last night. I'd timed my arrival to catch the middle band Dear H

• MP3: The Swell Season, "In These Arms"

  Here's my breakdown of the last five minutes: Conor Masterson​Blog blog blog. Search the web. Read RSS feed. "New Swell Season song?" Squeal like a 12 year-old girl. Download song, waiting impatiently. Press play. "Glen Hansard's voice is so good. It's like a warm blanket." More listening. "Oh, Lord. This is so pretty." Lower lip quivers. "I may cry." Markéta Irglová's voice joins in. "That's it...dammit, I'm gonna cry." Tears, sniffles. Mix tape song of the year. Right here. Seriously.

• Concert Review: The Cool Kids at the Granada

  This past Friday night at the Granada was a series of surprises large and small. Large: The headliner, Chicago-duo the Cool Kids, gave a decidedly un-cool performance. Small: Kansas City artist Steddy P. is far more beastly onstage than he is on wax.Clayton Hauck​ Sadly stricken from the formal record of the evening's festivities is Topeka's Stik Figa, who reportedly got things popping with a short set that included crowd favorites "Absitively," "Class of 2000," and "Caked Up," a joint

• New releases, Tuesday, November 3

  ​Weezer decided to name their new album Raditude. This is quite possibly the least annoying thing about the record. I can't help but wonder if Rivers Cuomo has completely left the realm of serious musicianship and gone straight into the realm of post-modern comedy. A track called "I'm Your Daddy"? A guest spot from Lil Wayne? The whole album sounding like an arena rock tribute act? I just don't know anymore. I thought "Beverly Hills" was the nadir, but it seems that the band is intent on b
