The Horseshoe Presents: Justin Rutledge as Justin Rutledge, Daniel Romano in a Supporting RoleDaniel Romano took the stage at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern alone, which was fitting because he was dressed like the Lone Ranger minus the mask and neck-scarf. Romano donned a white cowboy hat to compliment his Canadian tuxedo, armed with his acoustic guitar with his name splashed in silver across the fretboard. He broke the [...] - Read More > -

Hot Kid with Army Girls and oOohh Baby Gimme Mores
On this particular evening, the opener was simply listed as ‘secret guest’. I didn’t know what to expect when it came time for The oOohh Baby Gimme Mores to take the stage. Melodic chaos is one way to describe this quintet of gentlemen. They were doing so many different things; a doo-wop tune, alt-rock riffs, [...]
CMW 2012 Day Four: The Inbreds at Lee’s w/ Snailhouse, Sandman Viper Command & Whale Tooth
I love Lee’s Palace. Maybe it’s because when I was a small town teenager I dreamed of going to rock shows at such a magical place in the big bad city. Regardless I thoroughly enjoy reviewing shows here. Always such a good atmosphere and it’s not too big, not too small, it’s just right. It [...]

That being said it was no surprise that the El Mocambo was packed with eager fans. The crowd that surrounds me [...]

Band 7: Mimi Cry. Let’s not lie to ourselves people, we are a generation that still acknowledges that 90’s alternative rock was the shit. Raspy yet somehow pop style vocals with slightly distorted guitar and high hat filled drumming. Imagine that and you’ll have Mimi Cry. I have to admit I strolled in a little [...]
CMW 2012 Day One: Sound of Lions & Carleton Stone
I started off my first night of cmw at The Piston for Sound of Lions. These guys (and gal) are quite the band, playing an eclectic mix of musical stylings. There is something to be said about Whitney Delion and her soulful vocals–they lure you in. Songs driven by heavy bass lines and punchy beats, while [...]
