Opening the show will be KO, the new project of former Slothpop front-woman Kristen Newborn, along with Races. Doors open at 8 PM and tickets are only $10 in advance.

$20 Record Store Day Feist tickets on Saturday @ Indy CD and Luna

joshbaker — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:05:56 +0000

In celebration of Record Store Day, we are offering a $20 ticket to see Feist at Old National Center on April 30th. The $20 ticket can be purchased online here or live in person at Indy CD & Vinyl or LUNA Music (8am-11PM only). This is a ONE DAY special!

Feist bursted onto the scene back in 2007 with her single “1234.” After the song appeared in an iPod Nano commercial, Feist’s catchy tune stole the show. Everyone wanted to own her song rather than the Apple product itself. It even caught the eye of Time Magazine who named it the #2 best song of 2007.

This moment in pop-culture history, launched the ex-Broken Social Scener into solo career stardom. This year, Fesit recieved five Juno Awards including “Songwirter of the Year,” “Artist of the Year,” and “Album of the Year,” for her fourth studio album Metals. Don’t miss Feist, the songwriter that has bridged the gap between the Joni Mitchell and Bjork generations, bringing us soft melodies that will be relevant until the day we die.

joshbaker — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:13:50 +0000

Band of Skull‘s second release Sweet and Sour makes the phrase “sophomore slump” practically obsolete. It raises the bar for other bands to follow in their lead by producing consitantly, good rock music. The album’s mixture of rock-inspired sounds ranging from Radiohead to Black Sabbath is Band of Skull’s way of saying, “we ain’t going anywhere.”

Band of Skulls will hit up Indianapolis on Tuesday, August 7th at The Vogue. Get your pre-sale tickets here starting at 10am on April 11th-12th for a mere $18! Password: MOKB.

Edward Sharpe Indy Date Cancelled, A Note From Alex Ebert

joshbaker — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 14:21:21 +0000

While we are extremely sad to deliver this news, rest assured we are working hard to get this date rescheduled at some point on the future.

The Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zero’s show on May 22 in Indianapolis at Old National Centre has been cancelled. Frontman, Alex Ebert has been ordered by doctors to take some additional time off during their tour and have had to cancel a handful of dates. While we are bummed about this cancellation, we understand and wish them the best. We will diligently work to get this date resecheduled.

In the meantime, refunds for this show are available at point of purchase. Below you will find a note from Edward Sharpe’s Alex Ebert:

***********

Friends,

I am very sorry to say that, on reviewing our May schedule, I feel I need to create a few more days off than were planned, as we are now doing longer shows and I am learning how taxing longer shows are on my voice.

In order to have a few more days off to prevent me from destroying my vocal chords, we are going to have to cancel a few shows. I am extremely hesitant to do this but feel it’s best.

I live and learn. And I promise to those of you who have already bought tickets for one of the shows that will be cancelled, I will do a much better job in the future of ensuring that we are not in this position again.

With Gratitude,
Alex Ebert

joshbaker — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:25:52 +0000

We fell in love with Dawes a few years back after hearing “Time Spent In Los Angeles”. That was love was solidified with their heartfelt opening performance at our show with Blitzen Trapper at The Vogue last June. With all the recent accolades and media attention surrounding the band, and with Sara Watkins (former Nickel Creek darling,) we highly recommend getting your tickets in advance.

Watch – “Time Spent In Los Angeles”

About Dawes:
A self-described “American rock ‘n’ roll band,” Dawes represent everything pure and true about that fundamental delineation, four talented friends making music together, fueled by a shared belief in the power of their songs. With Nothing Is Wrong, the Los Angeles-based band – singer/guitarist Goldsmith, his brother Griffin on drums, keyboardist Tay Strathairn, and bassist Wylie Gelber – continue to master their blend of singer/songwriter reflection with folk, country, and AOR-inspired arrangements, all ringing guitars, soaring harmonies, and heartfelt melodies. After spending much of the past two years on tour, songs like “Coming Back To A Man” and “Time Spent In Los Angeles” have a restless, unsettled quality evocative of life lived on the road. A collection of songs that expertly builds upon the template laid by 2009′s extraordinary debut, North Hills, Nothing Is Wrong sees Dawes displaying staggering growth and evolution while still manifesting their distinctive, unforgettable voice.
