News Help Dylan Gilbert via Kickstarter
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 11:31 AM
Dylan Gilbert and the Over Easy Breakfast Machine have a Kickstarter campaign going on to help them fund their next album by raising $2,000.
They're close to their goal, but could use a bit more help. Head on over to the band's Kickstarter site by clicking here and help them make their next album — you could get some cool stuff in return for your support, too.
From exclusive MP3s or an autographed album to being thanked in the liner notes to dinner with the band or a private concert, each donation gets a "thank you" in return.
The band is more than 75 percent of the way there, but if they don't hit 100 percent, they don't get a dime.

The Honeycutters
The Evening Muse
June 24, 2011
The Deal: As an export from Wisconsin, I've had some hesitance about enjoying “the best” of Southern culture. Grits, seed-spitting and tractors: it was all a lot to take in. One by one, I've gradually converted (or at least have gotten used) to the way things are down here. The jury's still out on John Deere, but I've really grown to like country music among all other Southern stuff. The Honeycutters' batch of country (a little more mandolin, a little less McGraw) might be what I've been missing. The five piece hopped out of Asheville two years ago, and their recent show at the Evening Muse was the third night of a new tour. After plunking from Charleston to Columbia promoting their fourth album, the Honeycutters charmed a NoDa audience with a Nashville sound.

News Kings of Leon pay tribute to Ryan Dunn
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 11:21 AM
TMZ is reporting that Kings of Leon paid tribute to Ryan Dunn at a concert in London this week. The band played "McFearless" in his memory as images of Dunn were presented on a screen behind the band.
Dunn and a friend were killed in a car crash earlier this week. Dunn was reported to have been driving between 130 and 140 miles an hour with a blood alcohol content more than twice the legal limit. RIP, Jackass...
