TONIGHT: Murder By Death @ Pilot Light - Knoxville

Don't know much about these guys, other than they are awesome. I heard a little bit of Murder By Death (yes, named after the old movie) back in the college radio days with the track "Until Morale Improves, The Beatings Will Continue" and a couple others off of Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them? album from 2003, but I sadly did not pursue them any further. I chose poorly.

Murder By Death blend punk rock, western-y alt-country and a small pinch of Southern boogie and shake music, with a lot of tremolo and reverb, and some eerie strings in the background just to round it out a bit. They have toured with Lucero...and for the most part, that will get you at least a listen or two in my book, along with instant cool points for association.

More to come on these guys and gal, as I will be getting to their newest album Red of Tooth and Claw soon. In the meantime, if you're around the Knoxville area, go see Murder By Death tonight at the Pilot Light with The New of the Moon. Show starts at 10 and will cost ya a cool $12.

TONIGHT: Donna the Buffalo - Valarium - Knoxville

Donna the Buffalo brings the herd to try and trample the Valarium tonight for a FREE promotional show tonight for New Belgium Beer. Get your free DTB tickets wherever New Belgium beers are served. Check with your favorite local Knoxville bar or tavern for details. Tickets are still available. Doors are at 7, show starts at 8 with Big Country's Empty Bottle.

You must be 21+...sorry youngsters. You'll have your day sometime too.

Happy Birthday, Saints Don't Bother!

Yep, that's right. Happy Birthday to SDB. Today is one year since we started typing and telling the world that we knew about music and stuff (we always have done that on a local level). Let's see...what's changed? Oh, nothing, other than we still act like we know what we are talking about- we just do it more and more often. And we are trying to upgrade our content here with interviews, which a few are coming in the next week or so with some names you might know, and some you probably won't...but you will after we're done with you.

And you'll thank us for it! And if you don't, you should.

Other changes-- we are also in the process of beginning to post mp3s on here for y'all to hear, download, share with friends, and then go buy the record (locally, preferably) in order to ultimately get this sluggish economy that we are all living through going strong again...through the power of music.

And then, after that, 'Merica will thank you!

But right now, it's our turn: Thank you for sticking around with us. It's getting better, I promise. Watch and see...or read and listen, as it is sometimes too.

TONIGHT: Delta Spirit @ World Grotto - Knoxville

Delta Spirit brings it's Trashcan styled rock to the World Grotto tonight. Show starts at 10, with local yokel Joey English. Check it out.


addition/correction: The Young actually opened. Not sure why Joey English was listed and didn't play, but nonetheless, he didn't, and The Young did. I couldn't find a link for them, and I missed their set... You are on your own.

The Misfits w/ the American Plague

Tickets on sale tomorrow at noon here. Get some.

As I mentioned last year about this time, I saw the Misfits at the Orange Peel in Asheville and it was a great show, despite Jerry Only over-vamping his way through the show, covering all the old hits such as "Skulls", "London Dungeon", "Hollywood Babylon", "Die Die My Darling" and about twenty others sans-Danzig. With the edition of Black Flag's Dez Cadena, the 'Fits rumble through Black Flag classics like "Six Pack" and "Rise Above". All in all, it's cool to hear the songs, whether or not it's the O.G. Misfits...but these days, that's the way it is.

Opening will be local veteran rockers The American Plague, who opened for the New York Dolls in 2006. If you haven't caught them yet, catch'em now-- you never know when they might pack it up and take it to the big city.

PREVIEW: AC/DC Black Ice

Well, despite AC/DC's album not coming out for just a few more days on October 20th, and only at WalMarts supposedly, it has somehow mysteriously made it's way on to YouTube track by track. Below is the first track "Rock n Roll Train" and you can take it from there, or click here for AC/DC's web preview or here for the rest of the tracks on YouTube...

Thanks for the heads up, KC.
