As the evening’s event started the smell of incense filled the air with dim light covering the room and a stage background scrolling images to set the mood. The night showcased the bands previous eight studio albums which are also some of the songs on their current 20 year anthology “Croweology” released on August 3rd. Chris Robinson still sporting a full beard kicked the acoustic... 

Back in the 80s. a certain British pop band once proclaimed “Everybody Wants to Rule The World.” Twenty-five years later, over 60 local Indy bands will gather in a bar on the other side of the world to make their case on why they should rule the Indy Music Scene.  In a contest spanning several months and mostly determined by fan votes, only one question remains: Whose side are you... 

On the 20th anniversary of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s passing members of Stevie’s band Double Trouble have organized a reunion show to be held at 3rd & Lindsley in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday August 27th. Kokomo native Mike Milligan was invited to perform along with other guest musicians with actor/musician Jeff Daniels opening the nights event with his own acoustic set. Mike is a local... 

Some of you may have been patiently waiting for my review of the Honda Civic Tour on Thursday. Fear not, I have it right here, sans one review. I will touch up on one band slightly before the review is out, but before we begin, I have to say a little something. I don’t usually attend concerts where I may feel out of place. I enjoy the atmosphere and have been to many a concert during my time that... 

Country stars Sugarland rolled into the Indiana State Fair on Friday night and put on an outstanding show. Traveling to promote their upcoming album, “The Incredible Machine,” the talented duo played through a number of their previous hits and also gave listeners a taste of their new material. Opening act Little Big Town performed quite well, showcasing the solo vocal abilities of each... 

On Thursday night, August 5th, the heat inside the Earth House was nothing compared to the heat created by Gold Motel. By far, the focal piece of the night, Greta, and the excessively talented lads that make up Gold Motel, put on an amazing show at the intimate, retro venue, the Earth House. Fans of all ages we able to attend the show and no matter the age, the crowd was completely captivated.  The... 

For many unfamiliar with blues, the names listed as performers at the Slippery Noodle have little familiarity but for those who attend the live shows the names become embedded in their memories from the performance witnessed. The same happened on Thursday as Grady Champion passed through town stopping at Indiana’s oldest blues club. Grady is a seasoned performer with a feather under his cap.... 

It was a beautiful night on the lawn last Sunday for a great concert by John Mayer and The Avett Brothers. A set that drew largely from his latest album, Battle Studies, which, lets be honest, is way different, and maybe…not as great, as his other stuff, Mayer still managed to put on a show with enough variety to please even the most fair-weather fan (see complete set-list below). The best moments... 

In a career spanning nearly 30 years, Phish has done what most musicians could only begin to dream about: they’ve inspired countless bands, ranging from Incubus and moe to Gov’t Mule and Disco Biscuits; spawned tribute acts, most notably The Big Black Furry Creatures From Mars; performed all around the globe, from Tokyo to Telluride; established one of the most loyal fan bases in all of music,... 

Like the name of their album would suggest, things have come “Full Circle.” From humble beginnings to becoming one of the biggest bands of the 90s.  From bitter break-up new beginnings for other pursuits.  From publicized mishaps to redemption.  Now that they’re back to square one, they’re out to prove they’re still the kings of the modern rock world. And what... 

Last night, the State Fair went hip-hop. A stage that typically sees the biggest names in country music was instead taken over by one of hip-hop’s most rising stars: Drake. After support from Tino, Jumpsmokers, New Boyz, and Iyaz, Drake finally took the stage around 10:00 P.M. and opened strong with “Forever,” a collaborative single Drake did earlier this year with Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Kanye... 

B-Real and Sen Dog of Los Angeles' own Cypress Hill I have a confession to make. I’ve never been a Cypress Hill fan. If The Vogue announced a Cypress Hill show at this time last year, I would’ve shrugged and said, “M’eh”. So what changed? What compelled me to brave 90-degree heat at 10 o’clock at night this past Monday to see a band best known for their cannabis culture tunes and... 

“It’s All Crazy!  It’s All False!  It’s All a Dream!  It’s Alright!” That statement does more than just drop the name of the album they’re touring in support of.  It also describes the feeling amongst the crowd that came out to welcome mewithoutYou to Indianapolis.  Of course, they didn’t come alone.  Along for the short 10-date ride includes... 

The anticipation had finally consumed me. Along with dentists offices, waiting for a concert to begin is one of the most restless periods in my life, and last night at Radio Radio was one of those moments. I found myself passing the time by anxiously harpooning the floating lime in my Gimlet with my stirrer straw until the bitter fruit was totally unrecognizable; then I’d scamper up to the bar,...
