This Week in Concerts: Death Cab, Crystal Stilts, Beirut, etc.

Good news this week if you live in D.C., no need to travel outside the district for shows! That means no driving which means more drinking! Because what’s better than going to work hung-over Thursday morning with Crystal Stilts still ringing in your ears? Several things, actually. Several things. Wednesday: Death Cab For Cutie &… Continue reading This Week in Concerts: Death Cab, Crystal Stilts, Beirut, etc.

Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’

Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce. This time we provide an ultra special treat though: the benefit concert is happening right at the… Continue reading Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’

The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

I understand that older bands can’t tour very much, what with the back pains and arthritis and family yadda yadda. But I’m sorely disappointed Scotland’s The Vaselines, who Kurt Cobain like worshipped, are only doing a few dates primarily on the West Coast. Seriously, they have two shows in California, one in Oregon, another in… Continue reading The Vaselines announce “tour dates”

Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.

Yes yes, more shows, no time, no money. Here’s where you can find all sorts of hip kids jammin’ out this week in the D.C./Baltimore area. Tuesday: Edie Sedgwick D.C.’s own crazy weirdo Edie Sedgwick (who we first talked about way back when) is coming to Sonar in Baltimore to channel the spirit of the… Continue reading This Week in Concerts: Mates of State, Exit Clov, Ariel Pink, etc.

Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria

Some relaxing, yet fulfilling music to start your day off, that’s for sure. Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria (out of NYC) has a new album, Silent Show, out April 29 – which from what we’ve heard so far, displays a crisp instrumentative flair with piano as the backbone to the sound, filling out the… Continue reading Matt Kanelos & The Smooth Maria

Santigold announces sweet North American tour

Poppin’ indie diva Santogold Santigold Santogold (the “o” is what I know) just announced a ballin’ new tour that will include dancers and a full band and probably like confetti and a t-shirt cannon and maybe even a t-shirt canon. I won’t bore you with details, I know you want… Santigold – “Lights Out” [MP3] Santigold… Continue reading Santigold announces sweet North American tour

April 4 Concert Notables: The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov

A more apt title for this post would be, lesser-known artists playing April 4 in NYC – because that week we got just about everyone coming to town. (Weird to use that phrase when speaking of New York City…) A couple recent favorites of mine, The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov, will be playing shows… Continue reading April 4 Concert Notables: The Damnwells and Gregory Alan Isakov

Camera Obscura lines up MONSTROUS TOUR

RAAWWWRRW!! Camera Obscura likes touring and they’ve lined up a big one. Nothing like that lame “tour” that My Bloody Valentine (aka stupid old people) set up. This one has dates everywhere. Even Pomona, CA. Oh yeah, they’re getting a show! Their upcoming full-length, My Maudlin Career, is out April 20 (UK) and April 21… Continue reading Camera Obscura lines up MONSTROUS TOUR
