Most
Folk/Roots/Blues fans would pony up plenty to see Carrie Rodriguez,
Kelly Joe Phelps or

Cincy Brass Goes Metal, Then Unveils Debut Album (VIDEO)
Funky brass ensemble to debut release of mostly original compositions
Horny local ensemble The Cincy Brass hosts a free costume/Halloween party at MOTR Pub tonight. Sorry, I should say “The Heavy Metal Cincy Brass,” because the group, known for their brass renditions of Pop and Rock classics, will tackled a different realm of tuneage, performing their takes on songs by Black Sabbath, Tool, Rush, Led Zeppelin and many others. (Music starts around 10 p.m. with Skywalker featuring The Catalyst.) Though going Metal (or perhaps more accurately, hard 'n heavy Rock), the Brass won't stay that way long (even if some of the new arrangements do carry over into some later sets). On Nov. 18, the increasingly popular band will release its debut album, Ain't Nuttin Louder, which features 11 original tracks (and two covers). Dig this "video press release" for the release party at MOTR Pub that night:

Local melodic Death Metal group Rose
Funeral have released its second long-player for esteemed label Metal
Blade. Now a slimmed down trio (though no less ferocious), the band’s Gates of Punishment came out at the end of September, but Rose Funeral is just now making its way back from tour to host a hometown release party.

Even though Easton will be alone in the spotlight with
just his acoustic guitar when he hits the MOTR Pub stage, he’ll be
accompanied by one of the most impressive song catalogs in contemporary
music, which he delivers with a visceral sense of drama, a perfect rasp
and an infectiously melancholy joy.

If there are other great Rock bands wandering around in the flat expanse of Iowa, we would love to hear the evidence. On the basis of the infectious and wildly diverse Stranger Ballet, it’s clear that The Poison Control Center means there’s at least one — and a bloody great one at that.

Steve Marion certainly knows how to stir things up, in the studio and in the press. Back in February, David Byrne’s Luaka Bop label reissued Marion’s originally self-released Wondervisions, his debut effort as Delicate Steve, which was accompanied by a “press release” penned anonymously by Rock critic Chuck Klosterman.
Morning Teleportation

How does a band start off with influences as seemingly benign as The James Gang and Crosby Stills Nash & Young and come out the other end of the music grinder sounding like the bastard love child of Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips, Pavement and Animal Collective? Whatever mechanism is required for just such an occurrence, it’s well oiled and working at prime efficiency for Morning Teleportation.
