Update (5/25): Video clip of Nathaniel Rateliff performing “We Never Win” on Later with Jools Holland this past Tuesday added below. Just in time for the arrival in local bookstores of the issue of Q featuring him, we’ve received word that Nathaniel Rateliff is slated to play Later With Jools…

Great news regarding the Time Capsule tapes we wrote about a few weeks ago: We’re happy to report that all of the reels were able to be salvaged and have since been entrusted into the care of the folks at Decibel Garden Studios, who have graciously agreed to serve as…

To say that New Orleans collective My Jerusalem (playing the Larimer Lounge tonight with Michael Kingcaid and Sour Boy, Bitter Girl) is a supergroup would be a mild understatement. Led by Jeff Klein, the group features members who have played in bands such as Cursive, the Twilight Singers, the Polyphonic…

CRYSTAL STILTS Overcasters • Force Publique 05.16.11 | Larimer Lounge While it was a bit of an odd choice for Force Publique to open for a reverb-drenched indie pop band, Cassie McNeil and James Wayne’s industrial-tinged goth pop sounded as good as it did when we last caught the duo…

For the past two years, the Burning Angels have been stoked if we get fifty people in the room,” says Casey James Prestwood. “We’re even more stoked if twenty of those people are paying attention or even dancing. So playing with Drive-By Truckers at the Ogden recently, that was a…

While Forest Room 5 (2532 15th Street) has booked its share of live music over the years, manager Jordan Hubner says the place just didn’t have room to do it right. But now the back area is being overhauled to create a 120-capacity performance space, complete with stage and PA,…

In early 2010, Itchy-O started crashing house shows and other events with a “surprise” visit from a full marching band and a dancing, Chinese-style dragon. While not the first-ever guerrilla marching band, Itchy-O (due at Sutra on Sunday, May 22) is probably the first to fully embrace experimental music as…

Formerly one-half of the German DJ duo Wighnomy Brothers, Gabor Schablitzki is known by a number of monikers, but most notably as Robag Wruhme. A hard-drinking party DJ with a knack for reading and responding to pumped-up crowds, Wruhme is also an accomplished producer who individually crafted all of the…

If you stop and think about it, a rock guitarist doesn’t need more than three strings on his guitar, and a drummer doesn’t need more than three drums and three cymbals. Case in point: JEFF the Brotherhood, a band whose entire purpose is to strip down rock music to its…

Shilpa Ray rocks on the harmonium like other players do on guitar. But she and her Brooklyn-based band, the Happy Hookers (no intentional reference to Xaviera Hollander), are currently making the kind of rock music that seems unencumbered by any direct connection to Americana, despite the presence of a harmonium…

There is no denying Warren Haynes knows how to shred. Rolling Stone named him one the 25 greatest guitarists of all time, and he has played with the Allman Brothers, David Allan Coe, the Dead and his own band, Gov’t Mule. His most recent album, Man in Motion, is his…

George Bush probably hasn’t been this disgusted since 2005. In one of the most outrageous occurrences since everybody failed to recognize the truly bang-up job Brownie did in New Orleans, the Obamas went ahead last Wednesday and sullied the name of baseball, hot dogs and the red, white and blue…

On the title track of Rob Roper’s first full-length, Misfit, the singer-songwriter spends a good portion of the song singing about what he isn’t. To wit: He’s not a hippie, redneck or vegan. What’s more, he doesn’t have a tattoo, piercings or dreadlocks, and he doesn’t drink Bud Light or…

With Copy, Paste, No Glue, Pries has churned out a mixtape that could just as easily pass for a debut album — it’s that good. Not only has he crafted songs with melodies anyone can sing along to, but the delivery of his raps is accessible and clear. Lyrically, Pries…

The term “bumcore” pretty much sums up what Slakjaw is all about, so it’s fitting that these modern-day hobos (or maybe they just have a hankering for hobo culture) have so titled their new five-song EP. Singing about trains and whiskey, Slakjaw injects a punk fervor into its unique foot-stomping,…

As with the other music he has produced, Harder to Tell reveals Roger Green’s strong compositional skills, balanced in this case by an apparent fascination with a broad range of sonic atmospheres and textures, each expressing a depth of mood. This is most evident on tracks like “Hearing Into Clouds.”…

One of the world’s most versatile guitarists, Marc Ribot fronts a number of different projects and has played with heavies like Tom Waits, John Zorn, Elvis Costello and the Lounge Lizards. Ribot got his start three decades ago touring with legendary jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff. The Marc Ribot Trio,…

It’s almost officially summertime, which means that the annual Burning Man desert extravaganza is fast approaching — and also means that Burning Man project fundraisers are popping up to help get some skrilla together before the big event. That’s the purpose of Mile High Mammoth, a party kicking off at…
