The Small Cities - Live at the Nucleus


Video: Just The Small Cities being The Small Cities.
As previously posted, these doods are pretty durn good. “They sound like David Bazan and Low blowing apart your hollow construct of reality,” said we. The Small Cities deliver the full experience live, making epic narrations look easier and more flawless each […]

Frightened Rabbits - Head Rolls Off


Frightened Rabbits are a cool band who plan mid-rockin’ music of the happy variety. Four members, one guitar, one bass, and a whole lot of egg shaker is pretty much the norm on their new single, Head Rolls Off. I don’t want to ruin the video for you, […]

The Daredevil Christopher Wright - Live at the Nucleus


Video: One shot! Magic!
The performance of a song this simple gets twisted into something fairly complicated if it’s still stuck in your head a week afterwards. You know it’s got to be something more when your head just won’t let a melody like this escape. The come on babys and […]

Cedarwell - Weirdest Places


Video: Cedarwell - Weirdest Places
Cedarwell’s Erik Neave well embodies his northern heritage. Sheboygan, Wisconsin, should be proud of such a wonderfully full beard, such tough flannel shirts and darkly twisted, acoustic-pop songs that seem to ride nature’s very rhythm. Crisp clarity and addicting genuineness hibernate Neave’s voice somewhere in the […]

The Wars of 1812 - Live at the Nucleus


Potential energy: energy stored within a physical system; can be released or converted into other forms of energy; has the potential to change the states of objects in the system when the energy is released.
A rock band’s slowest song might seem out of place in some cases, like filler before […]

The StairCars / Goodbye Matt and Kara


Our friends Matt and Kara are moving to China.

Spaghetti Western String Co.

 At the height of performance an audience is stripped from its surroundings and given an original experience that cannot be dup/replicated, some display of culture to grasp onto for only as long as a set will carry before being released back into the comfort of the everyday. This is our experience with Spaghetti Western String […]

Bon Iver - Album release show @ The Nucleus - Eau Claire, WI

I have one criteria that pushes a show from good to great; if I leave feeling inspired to be creative. There is something in the human spirit that is spurred to creativity by the creativity of others. A perfect movie, a book that you flip over and start again after the last page, or something […]

Wisely - Through Any Window


The new video for Wisely’s Through Any Window features Pam! It’s a good song too, sort of reminiscent of Elliott Smith, but Jenna Fischer pretty much steals the show. She’s been quoted as saying that Through Any Window is one of her favorite songs ever. Also, Pam is a beautiful animal.

The Little Ones - Ordinary Song


Here’s a fun lil’ song from the band, The Little Ones.  I’m always a bit skittish about bands who talk about the radio in their music, but this song is just so durn catchy.  Stay tuned for a possible album review.  Be sure to check out our Christmas show tonight […]

Music for an Apartment and Six Drummers


The British are messed up. 

Fionn Regan - The End of History

 
Sometimes music and video can come together to do some pretty special things. This new video for the song Be Good or Be Gone, from Ireland’s Fionn Regan, is an example. It has no storyline or plot and there are no special effects, but the simple capturing of visual and audio of […]

David Bazan Sings You A Song

Anyone that has ever talked ‘favorite artists’ with me knows what a shill I am for David Bazan. I don’t want to say “can do no wrong,” but I’m thinking it. That said, this video, courtesy of blogotheque, is really great. It features Dave on the streets of San Fransisco playing the song ‘Cold Beer […]
