Concert Announcement / News Concert announcement: The Damned Things
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, May 31, 2011 at 4:00 PM
The Damned Things will return to the Fillmore Charlotte on Aug. 29 along with Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Tickets go on sale on Friday, June 3.
The Damned Things were previously at the Fillmore opening for Buckcherry on a bill with Hellyeah. That show started earlier than the scheduled ticket time, so fans will surely want to check this band out when they come back to town.
The Damned Things features members of Anthrax (Scott Ian, Rob Caggiano), Every Time I Die (Keith Buckley) and Fall Out Boy (Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley).

Live Reviews / setlist / News Live review: Fusebox Poet

Fusebox Poet
2011 Speed Street
May 27, 2011
The Deal: Far too often, concertgoers go to a national act’s show well after it begins so they can miss the “crappy opening bands,” but at Food Lion Speed Street 2011, that would have been a sad mistake. The act to see for the night was Charlotte’s own Fusebox Poet, who won 106.5 The End’s battle of the bands for the time slot between Paper Tongues and Everclear on the Miller Lite stage. Rain and bad weather plagued Fusebox Poet throughout their involvement in the competition, with baseball-sized hail at the preliminary round and mega-thunderstorms at the finals. Singer/keyboardist Drew Cyphers said the rain started just as he walked onto the Speed Street stage for sound check and he just looked up at the sky and thought, “Really?!”

Dirty South Revolutionaries, All Rise, The Letdowns, German Shephard
The Milestone
May 28, 2011
The Deal: Our local rowdy punk bands, DSR and All Rise had been on tour for the past few weeks, traveling all the way from home to the west coast, bringing their “I don't give a fuck” attitude across the country to every city they went. Before I knew it, they were returning home and playing their last date at the Milestone on Saturday May 28 with Wilkesboro's The Letdowns and Pittsburgh's German Shephard. I was excited to greet the boys upon their arrival home, feel the rowdiness they create and experience some punk for the first time since Moss and Liz's wedding.

Concert Announcement / Videos The Avett Brothers cover David Childers
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Sat, May 28, 2011 at 11:10 AM
The Avett Brothers have posted a video for their cover of the David Childers song "The Prettiest Thing." Check it out:
On a related note, you can see David Childers in a one-of-a-kind setting on June 15 at 8 p.m. when he takes the stage for Off the Record at the Evening Muse.
The show, hosted by myself, will feature Childers performances mixed with on-stage q&a sessions between songs to talk about his songwriting, lyrics and what it's like to be covered by the Avetts. Andy the Doorbum is also on the bill for that night.
You can find more information about David Childers Off the Record here.
