Faye Webster and Molly PardenThe truth is, music still serves its purpose. A single pulse, an interweaving melody, a rhythm, a collective reasoning, giving us all, nurishment for our intellect. I can't tell you why it exist, but we all seem to have our need, desire and understanding for the beauty of song and melody and what they give us and how they move us. A most beautiful quest was experienced on August 28. 2012 at Eddie's Attic when we ran into the pleasurable delight of Faye Webster, Von Grey and the mighty JoyScout. Words alone, cannot justify the morsels of delight and fancy found in the music by these artists on this special night.

Band of Skulls RussellBand of Skulls talk to Music Maniax about Jet Lag, Sound Checks, and the BBC.

The plan was simple.  We would check out Band of Skull’s at 4:30pm, squeeze in 30 minutes of another act, and then dash over to the media station ready for Band of Skull’s 6pm press conference.  Yep, that’s what we thought would go down, but then something unexpected happened.  We were the press conference.  So instead of being one small voice in a sea of 99Xers and Creative Loafers, we had the pleasure of joining Band of Skulls on the plush sofa and easy chair and conversing about the amazing day.  Skulls and Maniax – up close and personal.

Loving Music Midtown

SerenadersMMXnews

We were graced with the wonderful opportunity to catch some "modern retrobilly"  by The Serenaders @ Park Tavern  October 19, 2011.  This set was part of the series Americana in The Park at Park Tavern which started Wednesday, September 7th, and goes through Wednesday, November 2nd.

Barton, Joel, and Danny have been cultivating a sound that serenades with elements of country, rockabilly, and doo-wop.  These elements provided a sweet October evening by The Serenaders supported by the bluesy sounds of Marshal Ruffin, and the good ole country harmonies of Waller, the headliner.  The warm easiness of the music, proved quite romantic and warm this night, and delivered an excellent opportunity to experience The Serenaders.  A full article and photos are on the way.  Holla Back!

Americana in The Park @ Park Tavern goes through November 2nd.
