Sunday evening’s in December are usually filled with football, rest, or wrapping gifts from the weekends shopping. If you were at the Old National Centre you had something more in mind! The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band rolled into town sporting a brand new album ready to share with one of Kenny’s favorite cities. Kenny Wayne, a Colts fan and friend to Jim Irsay has expressed his love for... 

It is hard to deny that, for those of reputable musical taste, admitting to liking anything that remotely resembles pop-punk is bound to seriously damage a person’s journalistic reputation. Regardless, I was determined to listen to Late Nite Reading’s latest, the Dedicated to Deadlines EP, and give it an unbiased and fair review.  Now that my intentions have been made public, the EP offered no... 

ROCKERS AND ROLLERS An Evening With Brian Johnson from AC/DC Saturday, February 18 2012 LOUNGE: 6:00pm SHOW: 8:00pm Egyptian Room @ Old National Centre **TICKETS ON SALE THIS FRIDAY, 10/28 AT 10AM** Indianapolis, IN – When being interviewed for his recent autobiography, Rockers and Rollers (Harper Collins), Brian always says that it’s for others to judge how good a writer he is, all he knows... 

With Halloween drawing closer and closer each day, it seems like everyone is starting to get ready for it. And yes, this includes our good friends at Muncie’s esteemed university. Much has happened since that day in 1996 when a group of musicians got together and named their band after a frying pan.  Since then, Skillet has gone on to release eight studio albums; earn two Grammy nominations;...

That being said, let’s take some time to get to know little gem from around the Detroit, MI. area. Their name might not sound familiar (especially to those outside the Detroit area), but it won’t be long until... 

From the moment they got together back in late 2009, the girls of Neon Love Life have had just a few things they wanted to accomplish: To uplift Indianapolis, entertain the masses and world domination. And as their two-year “bandiversary” approaches, this next show will bring them a little bit closer to that goal. Whether they’ve been lighting up venues around the Indy Music... 

It’s no secret: The 2011 Warped Tour is continuing their youth movement. But for those worrying if all they’re going to see at Vans’ traveling punk rock circus is a laundry list of bands they’ve never heard of before, fear not.  Search a little deeper and you’ll see there’s still plenty of veteran talent to go around.  For every Black Veil Brides, D.R.U.G.S.,... 

Sometimes before you can get to paradise, you have to go through hell. Take the guys in Madina Lake for example.  Since 2005, they’ve built their foundation on an interesting concept (a trilogy telling the story of a fictional town turned upside-down after the disappearance of a socialite named Adalia), consistent touring and an energetic live show.  Not bad for a band that funded their... 

Sure, they may have missed out on the “most extreme tour of the year,” but it looks like they’re okay with that. Why?  Because instead of hanging their heads and walking away, they just booked their own summer tour. For this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour, fans got to decide who would fill the final opening slot via Facebook.  As the dust settled and votes were counted, the... 

Times change.  That’s a given. What was popular one day may not be the next; lineup changes are always an issue; and sometimes things like a shattered elbow can sideline you for longer than you want. Despite all that, The Holland Account is still here to rock the local scene to its foundation. A mainstay in the Indy Music Scene since 2004, THA has made their name through engaging live shows...
