First it Rains, then it Pours...

So, as we mentioned last Tuesday, The Autumn Hollow Band came out with their first CD this month. If you recall, I had band member Noel on the show back in February when the band was getting ready to play the New England Americana Festival (it's posted online in case you've misremembered).
Anyway, the album's pretty solid. I'm not one for describing music the way some do, but I will say that I liked it and that I'd suggest you check it out. My favorite track is probably "First it Rains," which I played on the show and had stuck in my head for at least the rest of that day. They've got the album online so you can listen to it and buy it if you'd like. I've embedded the player below, or you can check it out on bandcamp.




Also, welcome to the new intern at Schist That Rocks: Cassie! Cassie enjoys Friends, penguins, following my orders, and bios written without her input or consent.
If you'd like to join the Schist That Rocks! team, don't hesitate to let me know! You'd be a little less of an intern, and a little more of a DJ... unless you'd rather be more of an intern, whatever you like.

Anyway, I'll see you folks tomorrow!
or, uh, you'll see me.
hear me. yeah. that's it.

Slight Change of Plans

So I pre-recorded the interview and performance today, and I'm getting it ready to play on this week's show! Everything went really well, with one slight change of plan: The Autumn Hollow Band didn't play. Instead, I got introduced to a really great band that I really liked called That Old Feelin who gave a great performance followed by an interview. It was the first time they ever did a live performance of these songs. They recently recorded an album which is being mixed as we speak and will be out by summer, in time for their tour.

Noel Coakley (of the Autumn Hollow Band and organizer of the New England Americana Festival) suggested them and came along to listen in and for an interview as well, talking about the festival, Boston's music scene, and new music everywhere.
Both bands will be playing on Saturday Feb 27 at the festival.

Listen in this week to win your 3-day pass to the festival, and to hear the exclusive performance and interview!

Also, I'll be talking about the 2010 Redstones! You know, what people wore and all that ("And here comes Comm Ave Guy wearing a stunning wife beater and shorts! Who designed your outfit?" "GET OUT MY WAY!")... oh, and the movies. Yeah, I guess I'll talk about the movies a little.
