Matt Mitchell Music Co.: 'Obvious Euphoria' Album Release Show with The Holy Broke Matt Mitchell’s easy-going demeanor and casual folk charm are a lot sunnier than a lot of the topics he pens songs about. Such is the case on his newly released LP, Obvious Euphoria, which features folky Americana tunes about hard times breeding good songs (“Hourglass”), the depressive contraction of being lonely but not wanting to be around others (“Kerosene”) and a standout ...

Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise, The Scratch We’re shipping up to Airway Heights! (Whoa oh oh!) The biggest show to date at Spokane Tribe Casino’s new Spokane Live venue space (which opened last October) features the always-great Bostonian, Celtic-tinged punk rock of Dropkick Murphys. While the band thrived just outside the mainstream for years with their wildly frenetic mosh pit-starting edge, the group really blew up when its song “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” was featu...

Che Arthur, Putty Knife, Transmit Failure Che Arthur is a rock lifer.

Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox There’s nothing quite like a Postmodern Jukebox show. If you’ve never been, allow me to give you a rundown: Founded by jazz pianist Scott Bradlee, the band reinvents popular songs in the light of older “pop” music genres, mostly early 20th-century forms like swing and jazz. The band consists of a rotating cast of singers and musicians who often invite guest vocalists to perform with them. The group went viral on YouTube in 2012 for...

Henhouse Prowlers Founded 17 years ago with the simple desire to play original and powerful

Slick Rick The only thing more iconic, interesting, and intriguing than the stories Slick Rick tells on wax might be his own. Lasting through four decades, six presidencies, and countless trends, he endures as “the most sampled hip-hop artist in history” with GRAMMY® Award nominations and numerous multiplatinum albums to his name. It’s why he remains synonymous with rap music, culture, and fashion. It’s why he counts some of the most influential people in the world as...

Slothrust, Weekend Friends While Slothrust isn’t a household name, the alt-rock outfit centered around Leah Wellbaum (vocals, guitar) and Will Gorin (drums) has an tremendously high approval rating among other current cool bands. It’s easy to understand, as Wellbaum’s deep vocal timbre manages to seem simultaneously ferocious and detached, which pairs excellently with the dark grungy instrumentals that bare a hint of shoegaze. This formula is on full display on the band’s...

G3 Reunion Tour: Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai One of the best aspects about guitar music is the vast chasm of ways one can approach the medium. While it’s approachable enough for a teen to pick up a six-stringer, learn how to play a sloppy power chord, and start a punk band, it’s equally valid to approach the instrument as if it’s a math problem to conquer with technical precision. For those who prefer listening to the latter, the G3 Reunion tour is here for you. St...
