Who says downtown has everything? Sure they had a Roman numeral video screen, all the restaurants, ESPN, the Super Bowl Village a ZipLine and more, but the biggest party of the week?  It had to be located a few miles north. On Thursday, February 3, the ninth annual Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam took place from (of all places) the Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.  The show–being... 

And just like that, it’s over. The confetti has been swept off the field at Lucas Oil Stadium; the pyro has gone off; the streets are being cleared; the tourists are on their way home; and slowly but gradually, the eyes of the world are slowly shifting away from the Circle City. But what a week it was, wasn’t it? It’s been a fun-yet-exhausting week as the city of Indianapolis dealt... 

Lamb of God sets out to show what true Metal should strive for today. These guys have given all of the others in their genre a lot of work to do since they have raised the bar. There’s a hint of southern rock buried into hard Metal riffs, rhythms, and ever changing beats. Resolution is a true show of the band’s progression. This can very well be the best work they have put out to date. Resolution... 

The Super Bowl: it’s more than just a game. What was once just a simple championship game between the two best teams in football has now blossomed into a landmark, cultural event.  Cities now go out of their way in hopes of landing the honor of hosting “the big game;” thousand of fans flock to catch their team play for it all while millions more around the world gather around... 

Making minivans cool again... or were they ever? I’ve heard a lot about The Black Keys over the past couple years. I remember seeing them on the 2010 Lollapalooza line-up and thinking, “Who are The Black Keys, again?” And with them stopping in Indianapolis on March 16 during their upcoming tour, a lot of people have asked me if I’m going. But, once again, I found myself dumbfounded. Why have... 

Even with chilling temperatures, country newcomer – and Indiana native – Corey Cox managed to heat up downtown Indianapolis Sunday afternoon.  As a part of the Super Bowl free concert series being offered, Cox and his band warmed up football fans when they took over the Verizon Stage on Georgia St.  To make things even better, Cox was joined at the end of the show by legendary writer and guitarist... 

Think downtown is the only place to catch all the excitement? Sure the greater Indianapolis area is receiving most of the attention, and why wouldn’t it?  The big game is being held at Lucas Oil Stadium; Georgia Street is home to a three-block “Epicenter of Awesome;” ESPN is broadcasting many of its shows from Pan Am Plaza; an interactive fan festival is being held at the Convention... 

I don’t know if it’s possible for me to express my excitement when I saw that Anthrax was coming to Indianapolis. It has been a long time since I have seen them live. I am old school, so for me to remember them in their beginning means that the newest line up with some of the original members has even more meaning for me and some of the other fans that were there.  That was the first piece of... 

As Super Bowl fever consumes Indianapolis with its free concerts, zip-lining, and celebrity parties, Jack’s Mannequin managed to sneak in a show completely unrelated to all things Super Bowl.  And a fantastic show at that.  The rockers made a stop to The Egyptian Room Saturday, Jan. 28 as a part of their People and Things tour.       The night began with a light, upbeat performance from Allen...

So here we are.  In a little more than a week, the Giants and the Patriots will square off in the big game.  Of course, there’s more than just football going on in Indy this week.  Maybe you want to check out more than just the NFL Experience or the Super Bowl Village.  How...
