Hard to believe, but the annual South By
Southwest music showcase/festival/conference in Austin, Texas, kicks off
on March 12.
The Chieftains
March 8-10 • Music Hall
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
There is every other traditional Celtic Folk band on the
planet and then there’s The Chieftains. Or maybe that should be the
other way around; a good many critics would agree that the Chieftains
single-handedly raised the profile of Irish music on a global basis and
paved the way for every band that has subsequently followed a similar
path.
Clutch
March 8 • Bogart's
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Clutch has been one of the primary groups to bring Stoner Rock
and Alt Metal to a broader audience. Over the course of Clutch’s 23-year
history, the quartet has recorded 10 studio albums — their latest, Earth Rocker,
is slated for a March 19 release.
Ill Poetic
March 9 • Mainstay Rock Bar
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
In the short amount of time it takes to get through the
EP Synesthesia: The Yellow Movement (just under 24 minutes), Ill Poetic takes the listener on a funky,
soulful trip through his creative process.
Sara Watkins
March 11 • 20th Century Theatre
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Sara Watkins has had a deceptively long career in music
despite her young age. She came onto the scene as a member of the
progressive Bluegrass group Nickel Creek, which featured her brother
Sean Watkins and budding genius Chris Thile.
Animal Collective with Dan Deacon
March 12 • Madison Theater
0 Comments · Wednesday, March 6, 2013
The garish, densely layered cover art for Animal Collective’s latest album, Centipede Hz,
is just the first sign that the Baltimore-bred Psych Pop crew was
intent on shifting creative gears this time out.
Stone Temple Fired and Snarky Mass. Holes

As we were teetering off the fiscal cliff last week, an inexplicably large amount of people were concerned about just one American who lost his job: Scott Weiland of
Stone Temple Pilots.
Stone Temple Pilots.

Mountains
Feb. 28 • Mayday
0 Comments · Monday, February 25, 2013
In cinematic terms — and Mountains is as cinematic as any
musical outfit currently crafting soundscapes — it’s as if David Lynch
and his longtime composer Angelo Badalamenti wrestled the eternally
ethereal Tree of Life away from Terence Malick and injected a serious dose of mood-altering menace into its penultimate scene.
Jahman Brahman
March 2 • The Mad Frog
0 Comments · Monday, February 25, 2013
Once again, our state capital has thoughtfully provided us
with a little ass-shaking musical joy rather than the usual
fist-shaking political anger, this time in the wondrous form of Jahman
Brahman.
Ex Cops
March 3 • MOTR Pub
0 Comments · Monday, February 25, 2013
Brian Harding and Amalie Bruun have fairly lengthy Indie
Rock genealogies between them, but none of their earlier affiliations would have indicated the
sonic territory staked out on True Hallucinations, their debut together as Ex Cops.
Indigo Girls
March 5 • Madison Theater
0 Comments · Monday, February 25, 2013
After a 25-plus year-run, with periods of inactivity for recharging and
solo projects, business ventures and a variety of causes (LGBT and
political issues, the environment, among others), Amy Ray and Emily
Saliers are still finding ways to make Indigo Girls relevant in the new
millennium.

Known for its irreverent songs and
unpredictable, gloriously ramshackle live shows, Man Man defies
