Concert Announcement / Opinion / News Holiday beach bands...
Posted By Pete Stuart on Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 2:14 PM
Typically, you see concert tours schedule a break for the bigger holidays, but there are indeed some live music options if you’re headed to the Carolina coast for the Fourth of July.
Myrtle Beach seems to have the best stuff with the Edwin McCain Band and Sophie B. Hawkins playing tonight at the House of Blues in North Myrtle. Singer/songwriter Corey Smith, who recently opened up the new Fillmore here in town, visits the HOB on Friday evening.
Funk rockers Ten Toes Up has three dates scheduled in the band’s hometown of Murrells Inlet, S.C., including the Hot Fish Club (July 2) and Spud’s (July 3-4). Soul Function plays the Boathouse on Sunday night.
Charleston has a few shows on the calendar as well. If you like the Windjammer in Isle of Palms, check out The Design tonight, The Blue Dogs tomorrow or Playlist on Saturday. The New Mastersounds has back-to-back gigs scheduled at The Pour House (July 3-4), while Kevn Kinney serves up a double dose of gritty folk at Red’s Icehouse in Mount Pleasant (July 2-3).
I’ve never been to Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ on Sullivan’s Island, but it just sounds awesome. Guilt Ridden Troubador is there tonight, WILX tomorrow and T-Model Ford & Gravel Road on Saturday.
Not much in Wilmington, it appears. The New Mastersounds are at The Soapbox on Sunday, July 5.
If you’re making the longer trip to Hilton Head, you can see Gary Pfaff tonight at Wild Wing Café. Or, if you’re headed to the Havelock, N.C. area, country singer Darryl Worley performs at the Havelock Recreation Center this evening.
Oh and wear sunscreen.

News Grohl, Jones, Homme — the ultimate power trio?

There's a trio that's in the studio after being a rumor for the last four years. And after hearing word that it's finally happening, I can't wait to hear it.
Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones and Josh Homme are working together in what could be considered the ultimate power trio. Grohl, of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame, is back on the drums; Jones, of Led Zepplin fame, on the bass; and Homme on guitar.
Wow.

Videos / News U2 tribute to Michael Jackson
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 3:58 PM
So, at U2's concert in Barcelona last night, they paid tribute to Michael Jackson by performing bits of "Man in the Mirror" and "Don't Stop Til you Get Enough" during their song "Angel of Harlem."
While many people will praise the rock group for their actions, can I just point out that it sounds like Bono has no clue what the lyrics to "Man in the Mirror" are.
Sounds like he keeps repeating, "I'm looking at the man in the mirror/I'm asking him to make a change." The actual lyrics are "I'm starting with the man in the mirror/I'm asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer, If you wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change."
I guess it's the thought that counts.
