Music Menu / News Aids Wolf plays Snug Harbor tonight (Sept. 20)

Posted By Contributing Intern on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 8:36 AM

MONDAY, SEPT. 20

AIDS WOLF This wacked-out trio from Montreal — guitars, drums and a zombiefied female vocalist (think Melt-Banana) — will either inspire zany experimental noise and punk lovers, or clear the room pretty damn fast. I'd fall under the previous batch, albeit if it's a fast-paced but short set. With Junior Astronomers and Dignan. $7, Snug Harbor, www.snugrock.com (Shukla)

Music Menu / News Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Brian Culbertson tonight (Sept. 19)

Posted By Contributing Intern on Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 8:36 AM

TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS Arguably Petty has to stretch his vocals a bit now, unlike in younger days when his wail could rise above the guitars. But that's a minor complaint for someone who has written countless no frills American rock anthems and ballads over the past 30 plus years. Make no mistake, though, as Petty's songcraft and guitar slinging are (still) in prime territory. With ZZ Top. $53.35-$149.50, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, www.livenation.com (Samir Shukla)

BRIAN CULBERTSON Twelve albums into a career that's blurred the lines of smooth jazz and R&B, Brian Culbertson's biography reads like a who's who in the genres. With a catalog including names like Brian McKnight, Chuck Brown, Ray Parker Jr. and others, he used his latest project as a chance to bring fans into the process of making an album. Doing video blogs daily as he went through the sessions, creating and dropping a record. Old dogs learn new tricks. $42-$50, The Fillmore Charlotte, www.livenation.com (Mike McCray)

Music Menu / News Monstro, Lady Gaga, The Black Crowes all in town tonight (Sept. 18)

Posted By Contributing Intern on Sat, Sep 18, 2010 at 8:42 AM

MONSTRO The members of Monstro have clocked much time with a stack of indie and metal bands over the past few years. The quartet formed in early 2009 in Atlanta, and immediately set off on a mood-laden metal trip. Spacey tunes pay tribute to Pink Floyd and Helios Creed while their combined veteran rockers status spews a fine blend of ambient as well as hard rock. Tremont Music Hall, www.tremontmusichall.com (Samir Shukla)

LADY GAGA Not too long ago, Lady Gaga was touring small clubs with just an outfit or two, but these days, her massive production is more like a musical than a concert with more than a dozen wardrobe changes. While many see her as something fresh and innovative, I remember Madonna's early days and feel like I've seen all of this before. Are people really paying $200 to see her? With Semi Precious Weapons. $62.05-$196.45, Time Warner Cable Arena, www.timewarnercablearena.com (Jeff Hahne)

THE BLACK CROWES After two decades in the industry, the Black Crowes are saying thank you. Their "Say Goodbye to the Bad Guys Tour" is essentially a last hoorah before they take an indefinite hiatus. Luckily for long-time fans, the band is giving them a lot of show before they, potentially, call it quits. First there's a 90-minute, all acoustic set followed by a 90-minute electric set. Must be nice to have that much good material. $52-$65, Road Runner Mobile Amphitheatre, www.livenation.com (Mike McCray)

News 'Borat' to play Freddie Mercury

Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 5:01 PM

Sacha Baron Cohen is set to play Freddie Mercury in a biopic about the band Queen. The film will chronicle the band's early years up until the Live Aid concert in 1985.

I just have to wonder if Cohen can sing or if he'll be lip-synching?
