Wilco To Play In… WilCo?

6 comments

wilcoSo word is now out that Wilco will be returning to the Austin area.  We say Austin area because you’ll be surprised to hear that the show isn’t even in Travis county and may require a stiff drive for some of you.  The now legendary band just announced that they will be playing a show October 8th at the recently opened Cedar Park Center in Williamson County (get it Wilco plays WilCo?).  The brand new arena will primarily be used for AHL ice hockey team the Texas Stars so we’re a bit confused on the venue choice.  Wilco is not the only act in the musical plans for the arena with George Strait and Kelly Clarkson both signed up for future shows.  Wilco, in a hockey arena?  In Cedar Park?  Um, okay.  Sounds like a plan that could go horribly wrong.  Tickets are not on sale at this time with no word on when they will be made available.

snoop-doggSnoop Doggy Dooooooooooog… The Dog.  That’s right, Snoop D-O-double G is playing a show at Stubbs on Tuesday night.  I hope you’re ready to shell out some cash though because this thing will cost ya $45 a pop.  Stephen Marley is providing opening support.  Show starts at 8pm, but I think we all know it won’t really start on time.

The Thermals On Daytrotter

One comment

thermalsWe love The Thermals and we love Daytrotter, so when the two get together, we’ve just got to tell you about it.  By now you know the drill.  Band records daytrotter session, posts MP3s, and you go check it out.  This one is extra sweet because the band plays the previously unreleased track “I Can’t Let Go”.

From The Closet: Embodyment

6 comments

embodymentMany moons ago during my high school days, I was heavy into hardcore Christian rock and Embodyment was by far my favorite band of the genre.  Formed in 1993, Embodyment dropped 4 albums and countless demos during their career which sadly ended in 2004.  The band started off as more of a screamo/metal-core band, but after new lead singer Sean Corbray joined the band in 1999, Embodyment found their alternative hardcore sound.  This song, “One Less Addiction”, appears on the band’s 2000 album The Narrow Scope of Things which was the first effort with Corbray.  The album blended the band’s hardcore sound with the new vocal stylings of Corbray to create arguably the best album of the niche genre.  I’m partial to this one because I was in my very own hardcore Christian rock band in high school and our cover of this jam may have been our biggest hit…  Rock on Cornerstone!
