THE GRAND THEATRE VOLUME 1 OUT OCTOBER 12
 Old 97′s |
Old 97′s make their triumphant return on October 12 with The Grand Theatre Volume One, their eighth studio album, from New West Records. The band recorded over two dozen brand new songs during the studio sessions and will be releasing a second volume in 2011. The 12 song album was once again produced by Salim Nourallah (who produced the band’s previous release, Blame It On Gravity) and engineered by Jim Vollentine (Spoon). Legendary for their blistering live performances, the Old 97′s spent a week of pre-production recording the new songs completely live at the nearly 100-year-old (and reportedly haunted) Dallas venue Sons of Hermann Hall.
Track Listing:
1. “The Grand Theatre”
2. “Every Night Is Friday Night (Without You)”
3. “The Magician”
4. “You Were Born To Be In A Battle”
5. “The Dance Class”
6. “Let The Whiskey Take The Reins”
7. “Champaign, Illinois”
8. “A State Of Texas”
9. “You Smoke Too Much”
10. “Love Is What You Are”
11. “Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving”
12. “The Beauty Marks”

Grand theft American
August 3rd, 2010 |

Stolen cars which are most costly to insurers
AMERICA’S car thieves show clear preferences in the vehicles they steal. Size, speed and luxury are all important factors when it comes to selecting a target. But the country’s car thieves are, at least, patriotic. If America’s carmaking giants have struggled in recent years to build vehicles that match the public taste, they are keeping car thieves happy. Only two of the top ten stolen cars in America (measured in terms of cash paid out by insurers) come from a foreign manufacturer. America’s car criminals are more suspicious of Japanese or European models and are reluctant to be seen in smaller cars. A reluctance to nick Toyota Priuses shows they have little regard for the environment either.

Tractorbeam :: 03.26.10 :: Grand Central Nightclub :: Miami, Florida
Even without Jon “The Barber” Gutwillig, The Disco Biscuits still made the trek down to Miami to play the Ultra Music Festival (review available here) and a very special late night Tractorbeam show at Grand Central, a newly opened venue in downtown Miami. With the help of guitarists Tom Hamilton (Brothers Past, American Babies) and Chris Michetti (RAQ) standing in for Barber, the band was able to give fans the mostly-instrumental Bisco experience they’ve come to expect at a Tractorbeam gig. The Disco Biscuits hadn’t been to Florida since Langerado 2008 and they’ve never played Miami before, and the fans came out in full affect for the event. Both the Ultra Music Festival and the Tractorbeam shows are available on livedownloads.com.

FURTHUR WILL PLAY GRAND OPENING OF THE ODEUM COLORADO MARCH 5 & 6, 2010
 Furthur |
The Colorado metro area’s newest entertainment gem, The Odeum, was formally unveiled December 3. On grand opening weekend, March 5 & 6, 2010, Furthur featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead will officially open the venue.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, December 10 and can be purchased here.
About The Odeum Colorado:
Odeum Colorado is a re-launch and remodel of the former Broomfield Event Center, right off Highway 36, just 15 minutes from both Denver and Boulder. Colorado is blessed with some wonderful venues; however, the metro area has needed a great mid-sized venue set up primarily for live music with the ability to host non-music events as well. The Odeum Colorado, scale-able from 3500 to 6500 attendees, configures for a myriad of different events. The Odeum Colorado is perfect for intimate performances by superstars and just as perfect for up and coming bands to take their next step as their careers grow. To create the venue Colorado deserves, we brought together the best and brightest minds to remodel the facility into a warm, inviting and fun venue.
The patron experience starts with the environment and our mission for the Odeum is to create the best environment for a mid-sized hall in America. The venue expects to host between 50 and 100 events per year and continue to grow every year. Attractions will include other non-musical events like one-off sporting events, family entertainment shows, non-profit and charitable events as well as some events hosted by the city and people of Broomfield.
About Furthur:
Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and Bob Weir are embarking on a musical adventure with their new band Furthur. The 24 date tour begins February 5 in Miami, Florida and will find Lesh and Weir revisiting some of the same historic venues where the Grateful Dead performed back in those thrilling days of yesteryear: Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA, Barton Hall at Cornell University, Shea’s Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY, Auditorium Theater in Chicago, and Radio City Music Hall in New Your City.
Fans can expect Lesh and Weir to push the musical envelope with jaw-dropping improvisations and loving renditions of Grateful Dead classics, with an all star band that includes keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, percussionist Jay Lane (RatDog), drummer Joe Russo (Benevento/Russo Duo, Trey Anastasio), and guitarist John Kadlecik (Dark Star Orchestra). New and old fans of the Grateful Dead will be entranced as Phil and Bob take the musical journey “furthur,” exploring some of the Grateful Dead’s most beloved songs in a tour that promises to keep the feet stomping and the bodies shaking.
Complete Furthur tour dates available here.
