SoundLand 2012

Posted Fri August 3, 2012

SoundLand 2012 announced their official lineup yesterday. The festivities this year have been cut down from a multi-day affair into a one off event with two stages down on the Riverfront with My Morning Jacket, Young the Giant and Divine Fits headlining. The local support for the event is spectacular – PUJOL, Nikki Lane, The Weeks, Kopecky Family Band, Wild Cub and Mystery Twins to name a few.

It’s easy to jump straight into negativity regarding the overall change but, personally, I think this could be a great new undertaking. What’s easier to grow into a rousing successful annual event – a multi-day, multi-venue, city wide extravaganza with bookings that attempt to appeal to every genre of music or a one-day, multi-stage event that caters mostly to the rock / indie / Lightning 100 set? It may have made things smaller for SoundLand but it also made things much more sensible.

Tristen at Live and Reel

Posted Fri August 3, 2012

Take some time today to watch Tristen perform for Live & Reel. “Doomsday” has been posted and available for all.. with “Wicked Heart” lying around the Internet if you just poke around a little bit looking for it. It’s always nice to hear these songs from Charlatans at the Garden Gate but I’m starting to get antsy for material off of the next album!

Brian Miles and Marty Linville are doing a great job as Ttotals to create a huge psych wall of sound. You really don’t need to know more than that. If you like big sounding psych rock done right you should have hit that play button forever ago.
