Big Head Todd and the Monsters put on a great show last night. Todd Park Mohr led the Capitol Theater crowd through a memorable set list. They came out strong with John Lee Hooker‘s “Boom Boom” and later played the expected BHTM classics: “Resignation Superman”, “Broken Hearted Savior” and “Bittersweet”. The band felt really interested in showing it’s fans a good time and ended with a powerful encore version of “Circle”.
Matthew Dear (Ghostly International) is an American music producer, DJ and electronic avant-pop artist. His new full length release drops on August 17, 2010. Check out the teaser below…you can definitely hear the David Bowie and Nitzer Ebb influences.

Warm summer breezes, a multitude of colorful dragon flies and good bluegrass and traditional music greeted those who attended the 2010 Sugar Maple Festival. The scene was one of family friendly fun, with random bluegrass and Celtic jam sessions going throughout the day. Featured in the images are Tim O’Brien, Jackstraw (Bluegrass) and Ginny Hawker & Tracy Schwarz (Appalachian Mountain Music).
Memphis, Tennessee’s Lucero packed the High Noon Saloon with it’s unique flavor of punk rock roots twang. This band played for the first time in early 1998 and since 2001, they have played between 150 and 200 shows a year across the United States and Canada. They have released seven full length albums, the latest entitled 1372 Overton Park.
For those of you that are not familiar with Ginderman…the band consists of Nick Cave (vocals, electric guitar, organ, piano), Warren Ellis (electric bouzouki, Fendocastor, violin, viola, acoustic guitar, backing vocals), Martyn P. Casey (bass, acoustic guitar, backing vocals) and Jim Sclavunos (drums, percussion, backing vocals). Their last release was very good and I am looking forward to the new album, Ginderman 2 which will be be released on September 13 , 2010.
