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.
Man Man's Search for Meaning
Eccentric Philly band doesn’t know the rules, so it just keeps breaking them

Aesop Rock
Feb. 20 • Thompson House
0 Comments · Monday, February 18, 2013
Aesop’s Indie style is reminiscent of early Beck while his
rumbling vocal rasp and brilliant sense of wordplay leans in the
direction of Mike Doughty, not to mention the MC’s numerous Hip Hop
heroes.
Testament with Overkill
Feb. 20 • Bogart's
0 Comments · Monday, February 18, 2013
Even though Testament may have not been considered a part
of “The Big Four” at the height of Thrash, with guitarists Alex Skolnick
and Eric Peterson becoming, once again, the formidable tag-team they
were in the ’80s, they are indisputably one of the
elite Thrash bands of yesterday and today.
Florida Georgia Line
Feb. 20 • Brick Street Bar (Oxford)
0 Comments · Monday, February 18, 2013
Florida Georgia Line’s first single, “Cruise,” might be a
love song, but if you have any imagination at all, chances are you’re
picturing “every little farm town” that runs along the states’ border.
That song made the boys of Florida Georgia Line blow up practically overnight.
Intronaut
Feb. 21 • Bogart's
0 Comments · Monday, February 18, 2013
For a Metal band more taken with exploring the heavenward than wreaking destruction on Earth, Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words with Tones)
makes an especially sound title for an Intronaut album.
Animals as Leaders
Feb. 21 • Bogart's
0 Comments · Monday, February 18, 2013
Animals As Leaders display their talent through complex,
well-thought-out musical melodies and movements, never making it feel
like you’re being forced to simply admire their abilities but encouraging listeners to experience them instead.
Who Do Those Guys Think They Are?
Cincinnati crew Those Guys makes good on “Good Hip Hop Music” promise
0 Comments · Wednesday, February 13, 2013
What Those Guys’ tagline doesn’t tell you
is that this “Good Hip Hop Music” mentality was established long before
the group had any concrete footing.
