Roger Waters @ Toyota Center

Roger Waters @ Toyota Center

Last night, I had the opportunity to see Roger Waters, bassist and vocalist for legendary classic rock group Pink Floyd, for the third time. First, I caught the Dark Side Of The Moon tour when it hit Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion several years back, next when Waters brought The Wall to Houston for the first time two years ago, and finally last night with another go-around of The Wall at the Toyota Center. While mostly the same as the first time, Waters changed the show up just enough to keep me enthralled again.

UtopiaFest Preview: Suzanna Choffel

Oct 9, 2011 by Bacon

Austin songstress Suzanna Choffel has been entrancing audiences for over five years using her smoky vocals to tackle a blend of roots, jazz, and soul. If you’re a festival-going Texan, you’ve likely already caught her at one of the majors like Austin City Limits or Old Settler’s Music Festival – so seeing her in a more intimate, mellow setting like Utopia Fest should be a treat. Catch her Saturday at 2:30 on the Arrowhead Stage.

wakarusa 2010

In this country, it seems festival season never truly ends. Thankfully. But summer is always ripe with great festivals, coast to coast. In this neck of the woods Wakarusa usually kicks things off – and this year looks crazy + awesome + delicious. Missing a day isn’t an option.

The headliners are solid, and I’m excited about discovering new artists and others getting some well-deserved recognition. And let’s all assume this year the sun will favor us with temperatures under 100. Read on for a detailed preview of Thursday. Three weeks out!

The Morning Benders – Japan Echo EP

Mar 28, 2011 by Sausage

One of the bands that captured my attention and my heart last year was The Morning Benders. Their simple melodies and harmonies hooked me in, and their song “Excuses” was one of my favorite songs released last year. If you haven’t heard it, you need to stop what you’re doing and listen to this now.

They were scheduled to play their first appearance in Tokyo when the tsunami hit Japan. The lead singer, Chris, was actually born in Japan and spent the first few years of his life there, so has a deep love for the country. In response to the tragedy, they have released a special EP where all the proceeds will go to Japan Society’s Earthquake Relief Fund.

Good music and you get to help Japan out. Sounds like a win/win to me. Visit here to see the track list and download the album.
