Wooly Mammoth @ the Talking Head

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

This review is a little late. Sorry. I've got another one sitting and waiting in the wings, that will hopefully be up shortly. Wooly Mammoth doesn't play nearly enough shows in the area. The DC-hailing rockers come up here once a month during a good stretch; and ...

Arbouretum, Pontiak, Blake e/e/e @ the Talking Head

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Live audio is up for Arbouretum here and Pontiak here, presented by Jeff the Baltimore Taper in association with Aural States. Coming in late, I apparently missed a great set from Television Hill, another project of Dave Heumann from Arbouretum. But honestly, both Arbouretum and Pontiak ended up killing it ...

Sound Off!: Arbouretum

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Arbouretum's Long Live the Well-Doer starts off with some stereotypically new-age string plucking accented by wind chimes. I immediately came up with an image of some hemp-pushing, mandala-worshipping yoga lover and almost chucked the disc in the trash. But thankfully, I gave it a spin. And I never looked ...

Venue Drama: Lo-Fi and the Talking Head

Editorial Note: Aural States takes no side in the Lo-Fi Social Club dispute and fully supports local venues as long as they continue to book high quality shows and provide a positive environment for the live experience of music.  We wish the new management the best of luck in filling ...

Tokyo Police Club @ the Talking Head

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Greg's take: I was happy that Myspace was granting us a second, more notable secret show than the Circa Survive thing. I mean c'mon, other cities got Smashing Pumpkins and Decemberists... And nothing was necessarily bad about the show, just nothing really good about it. I agree with most of ...

Pony Pants, not Horsie Slacks or Equine Trousers

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Pony Pants. The first time I heard that name I practically guffawed myself off my seat.But then, I heard their music. The stuff these Philly kids pump out via Badmaster Records is what indie dance nights were made for, driving the most stoic of the cross-armed masses into ...

Dub gets the academic treatment

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Dub, born out of Kingston dance halls and soundclashes, will be the topic of an upcoming lecture at Peabody Conservatory. On Wednesday, February 6 Michael Veal, of Yale University, will give the free talk on the bass-heavy, reverbed-out reggae offshoot . And later that ...
