2008-05-27 11:03:00 Tuesday night's a good time drink away the stress of the upcoming week, so who better to spend it with than:The Booze @ The NickAdmission: ?Get down: 10PMAlcohol may be a downer, but The Booze sure isn't. It's straight upbeat rock with traces of Van Morrison and invasion era melody. Throw that in a tumbler with some Strokes and you've got a potent concoction.Honorable Mention: The Sword / Torche / Stinking Lizaveta @ Bottletree More About: Music , Alabama , Live , Local , Pick

2008-05-26 11:03:00 Ok! So another large gap in postings has occured, despite my assurances otherwise. Fear not! I can guarantee this weeks posts will all be there, 'cause I wrote them already. This works out for everyone. I get more time during the week, you get more notice as to what's coming. I've added an upcoming shows section that will highlight the picks ahead so you can start planning your nights accordingly. Alrighty, onwards and upwards:Flowers Forever / Teen Getaway @ BottletreeAdmission: 9PMZero Hour: 8$If the world was a predictable place, then Flowers Forever would be a whiny hippy band with twelve acoustic guitarists all playing rhythm. Fortunately for us all, the world's a twisted bitch with a trick up her sleeve, and Flowers Forever is crunchy and foul mouthed, with it's muddy boots planted firmly on the ground.Teen Getaway label themselves as "Punk / Rock / Soul" on their myspace profile. Well...they certainly have a punk rock soul, but it's wrapped in an experimental indie fles... More About: Music , Alabama , Live , Local , Pick

Pick of the Day 5/21/08
2008-05-21 11:05:00 Tonight's pick comes with a word of caution: get there on time, cause this band is opening for a bunch of duds, and you don't want to get there just to leave in a hurry.Luego @ The NickAdmission: 5$Get Down (I mean it!): 10PMGood thing Luego is worth treading into shark infested waters for. I don't understand how this quirky little gem got on the bill with a bunch of butt-rock. I love the tone of the lead singers voice. It's earnest and unpolished - which is perfect.

Strohm @ BottletreeAdmission: 12$Go Time: 9PMI wouldn't call them mellow, but tonight's duo have a certain crusty folkitude to them that mediates their otherwise rambunctious souls. What?

2008-05-14 11:03:00 Another day without some heavy hitters is upon us. I guess Bottletree and Workplay are taking some much needed time off. Let's just hope they come back with a bang this weekend. In the meanwhile, here's something to sidetrack you:Mr. Gnome @ The NickAdmission: 5$Get It On: 10PMDISCLAIMER: The other two bands on the bill don't merit much attention, so don't worry if you show up a bit late. Mr. Gnome makes a heck of a lot of noise for a two person outfit, but they do it with style and volume. They're volutyle! More About: Music , Alabama , Live , Local , Pick

2008-05-13 11:03:00 Man, it's been a few days. I'm sorry to keep y'all in the dark, but I think I'm back now for good. I've been writing these posts in the morning, and that is no longer a viable option. I've sorted it out, and it works better for everybody. Starting from....now, the new days posts will be available first thing in the morning, rather then around noon some time. Alright, here we go again:Reed Pittman and the Rest @ The NickAdmission: 5$Get Down: 10 PMC'mon now! I get back from a break, and both Workplay and Bottletree have decided to take the night off. Thank the lizard that The Nick decided to step up and pull in an act that's a little atypical for them. Reed Pittman plays measured and melodic lullaby pop. It's a bit earnest, and occasionally hackneyed, but it makes up for it with moments that make the hair raise on your nape. That isn't to say that he doesn't rock it out once on the while, but it doesn't sound nearly as comfortable as when he's sobbing over dramatic chord...
