Longwave
Where: Rock & Roll Hotel
Date: 2008-03-07 21:30:00
Type:
New York-based, shaggy haired rock tykes Longwave formed for a simple reason -- because it felt right. And with that sort of natural birth and organic attitude comes a sound that is relaxed, and yet emotional, classically simple and yet imbued with dark-edged introspection. Put simply, this is a band that makes music because they love music, and that's worth much more than any notion of stardom or the easy life.

Cass McCombs
Where: Jammin' Java
Date: 2007-11-15 00:00:00
Type:
Catch this exciting performance of Baltimore-based singer/songwriter Cass McCombs' moody but often surprisingly humorous music. Cass McCombs is best known for the album 'Not the Way,' released in 2002. After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink makes a rare live appearance. His official debut album, 'The Doldrums,' was recorded at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his mouth) Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly addictive.
