I just listened to an excellent interview with Liam O’Maonlai & Fiachna O’Broainain from the Irish band Hothouse Flowers and Jon Russell over at KYOU radio.
The Hothouse Flowers have an interesting sound and hearing the diverse selections of songs that Jon played during the interview gave me more of an insight into their musical style. […]

As many of you know by now, Google has bought YouTube for an extraordinary amount of money. We’re talking over 1 billion dollars (in stocks) and since we’re such YouTube addicts here at Band Weblogs we’re hoping things continue to run the way they have been over there. In otherwords - we’re hoping that […]

The band Camp Freddy was on Jay Leno on October 5th and finally a video of the performance has been added to Billy Morrison’s blog. It’s always good to see the guys out and about playing live and this time they played a cover of Cheap Trick’s ‘Surrender’. Their version of the song is in […]

I’m really looking forward to watching the show with a nice bottle of wine as we cross our fingers and hope that the Guillemots win! […]

The Reading and Leeds music festival took place over the weekend and luckily quite a few acts were televised this year, including the band The Subways. I’ve been hearing about them for awhile now, but hadn’t really paid much attention until I saw them performing at Reading.
The three-piece band puts on a great live show, […]

The Raconteurs are set to go on tour with Bob Dylan. This announcement shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise at all. As I’ve mentioned before, I am a fan of The Raconteurs and this pairing does make sense - have you seen their dress style?
No seriously, two great musicians who have […]

We’ve certainly been enjoying watching Rockstar Supernova and each week it’s getting better and better.

The music festival is at the Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, NY (near Albany) and if it’s camping and eclectic jamming bands that you’re into, then this […]

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am to see Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Are You Experienced?’ covered by Devo with their version, ‘RU Experienced?’ on YouTube.
We have the Devo Double Feature dvd here and when we first bought it I was pretty disgusted when I read the reason on the back cover as to […]

I’ve been listening to mvyradio out of Martha’s Vinyard and usually whenever I turn it on - 9 times out of 10 - I discover another great artist or band from this eclectic radio station that you can find on either your iTunes radio or by going to their website: http://www.mvyradio.com. Today’s find is The […]

Greyspoke is a Jam Band from Burlington, Vermont who I first heard on the Heavy Syrup podcast. Listening to them makes me homesick and missing all that is good in Vermont bands. I know one thing-if I was in Vermont I would be attending one of their gigs.
Now I’m not saying they’re the next Phish […]

I just listened to a great podcast today called Heavy Syrup which podcasts from Vermont - my old stomping ground.
James Sharp is the podcaster and he’s located in Montpelier playing a variety of bands from Vermont as well as other locations, ranging from grass rootsy sounds to reggae, rock and more! Quite an eclectic mix, […]
