This week at the H/O

Greetings People! It’s another (rainy) week, eh? How about some live music. Tonight (Wednesday), the Immediate Sound Series brings us KLANG which Peter Margasak introduces nicely here. “James Falzone created relatively faithful arrangements of Goodman classics for his quartet Klang, but he transformed that swing-era music into something much more personal and contemporary.” Thursday’s for […]

Interview Show does NY

Mark Bazer’s taking his Interview Show on the road this week — all the way to Union Hall in beautiful downtown Park Slope (that’s in Brooklyn, kids). On the bill: chef and author Gabrielle Hamilton, funny dude Eugene Mirman, and hip-hop “deconstructionalists” Das Racist. We are very excited for Mark, and, whoa, so is the […]

Hideout + Bloodshot = Safety first!

The Hideout turned 15 last month, but our friends over at Bloodshot are a little bit older, if not demonstrably wiser. Rob, Nan, and associates celebrated 15 years in “business” by hijacking the Hideout Block Party in 2009. Now, 20 months later, here’s the incriminating evidence: No One Got Hurt, a live CD documenting the […]

Mondays = FUN!, and other stuff

Ok, so… I have to say, you missed it last night. No, we didn’t have Iron and Wine, no we didn’t have Billy Corgan, we just had a wonderfully regular night. Kelly Hogan and Scott Ligon attended to us with a solid two hours of suggested donation bliss, followed by Jacob Ross displaying his well […]

Oof da.

The last few weeks have swept me up into a potentially perpetual current of deadlines and and craziness in which the usual busy-ness has been multiplied by (everyone knock on some wood, cross a few fingers, and hold your breath) a possible last-minute trip to perform in Europe’s most picturesque still-politically-repressive state. [editor’s note: see […]

Holy Moly, SXSW bands have been sent off

Boy, Saturday was a fun. Our president-in-exile (self-proclaimed) graced us all with more than a few band intros, loads of people came out, lots of beer was spoken for, and lots of fun was had. Here are a few echos of the event from around the interwebs… The Trib has a recap here if you […]
