Uh Huh Her made a stop at DC's 9:30 Club on Wednesday, May 14. BOTheads Granola and Taquito caught up with Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey before the show to chat about their new album, the Marfa Lights, and...Eminem?

I had a chance to sit down with Junior League backstage before their February 1st show at the Black Cat. I was greeted in the bar with a big hug from Lissy and brought backstage where I met Martin, Eli, Will, Alex, and Dale.

The Greyboy Allstars finally came back down to Texas last weekend, and they did not disappoint. Dem BOTheads attended the show in H Town Durty Durty and got to catch three of the members of this high energy, high powered, and down right professional group of musicians for an interview. Coffee, Doughnut, Cereal and Eggs had a chance to sit down with Mr. Karl Denson, Sir Robert Walter, and the incontestable Elgin Park. After soundcheck, we took the time to pick their brains about the new album What Happened to Television?, their current tour, and of course, their favorite breakfast items. The BOT crew came through with the hard hitting questions, but it's nothing but love when you’re talking about musicians that are dedicated to their craft. It shines in an interview, on the stage, and when you pop that cd into the player. Yeah that’s right, we still listen to cds, you wanna scramble, er, rumble?

After a few heady brews at the Continental Club, I settled in to catch That 1 Guy’s set. I hadn’t heard many of his songs at this point, yet the tune “This will be my last one tonight,” seemed vaguely familiar. As That 1 Guy jammed and sweated on his impressive and weird-ass looking instrument with a fury equal to that of a bassist at a hoedown in space, I realized there would be no encore. Sometimes in order to review a show, you have to actually see it.*

But I digress. The breakfast crew had a chance to catch That 1 Guy, better known to his friends, cohorts, and comped audience members as Mike Silverman.
