The frontman for Lamb of God is found not guilty in tragic fan death, Yacht has its distinct design look ripped off (coincidentally?) by designers for Kohls and Burlington Coat Factory and Chris Brown's new "song" sounds like a celebration of violence against women.

The Whigs
March 17 • 20th Century Theater
0 Comments · Monday, March 11, 2013
The Whigs specialize in earnest, guitar-driven nuggets that
recall both their hometown’s jangle-laden roots and a variety of
old-school heavy-hitters, from Neil Young to The Replacements. Hey,
sometimes good taste and a rousing live show is more than enough.

March 18 • Southgate House Revival
0 Comments · Monday, March 11, 2013
Hailing from Los Angeles, Milo Greene has taken to calling itself “Cinematic-Pop.” There’s no reason to disagree. The

perfect for soundtracking movies.

When people of a certain age hear the name Chevelle, they
typically think of Chevrolet’s high performance sports coupe from the
’70s. Oddly enough, the brothers Loeffler had the same thought when naming their band in 1995; the
Chevelle was their father’s favorite car.

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.

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.
