Building on the bountiful “Best of 2007” boasting rights brought by the album Cease to Begin, Sub Pop recording artists Band of Horses brought a sold-out winter tour to Nashville’s Exit-In on a blustery Tuesday night.

The Von Bondies at The Gramercy Theater, NYC 1.23.08
Jason Stollsteimer and crew were back in full Detroit rock force with the addition of an extra tour guitarist, (are three guitarists really necessary?) to add even more rock to their already heavy, melodic and swooning cache of musical numbers. The hits were all there, yet it’s hard to believe it’s been almost four years [...]
Vampire Weekend - “Vampire Weekend”

The music circulated on their aptly-titled *Blue CD-R* had only minor retouching on its way to their self-titled label [...]

Tomorrow Never Knows ’08: Yesterday has arrived with Bon Iver, Illinois…
Yesterday was kind enough to introduce us to hindsight and we put the kibosh on day two, three and four. But you all know who the Walkmen are. As I’m sure you’ve been acquainted with White Rabbits. White Denim and Arcadia would have been a treat, but it was too damn mustache-freeze cold to go [...]
Tomorrow Never Knows ‘08: Chicago’s mid-winter festival revival returns
January a month of slim touring and bleak bedroom hideouts no more! Tomorrow Never Knows hit Chi-town’s Schubas for the fourth year in a row, offering a hefty-hot five-day Midwest sampling of the nation’s fresh faces before SXSW beams it bat signal over indie land.
Day one exploded with Nashville’s Heypenny, who take their name from [...]
