KRS-One tonight (7/15/11)

Posted By on Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 9:19 AM

KRS-One The legendary founder of Boogie Down Productions has been on a crusade to spread the teachings of hip hop and unlike some of his peers from a bygone era in hip hop, KRS never let his skills as an MC diminish from resting on his laurels. Sure, his stance as a hip hop purist butts heads with younger MCs but seeing him live is the only way to understand exactly where he’s coming from. Junior Reed is also on the bill. $22.50. Amos’ Southend. www.amossouthend.com.

Do It To Julia tonight (7/14/11)

Posted By on Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Do It To Julia This Asheville-by-way-of-Boone quartet retired to Martha’s Vineyard last winter to record their Kickstarter-funded sophomore record, an appropriate setting and time for the band’s brand of sepia-colored folk pop. Co-songwriters Ryan O’Keefe and Halli Anderson build song-lattices for Anderson’s multi-tracked violin to flit through, and male-female harmonies provide melodic buoyancy. There’s an aimless drift to the songs, though, suggesting they could do with some tightening (and a hook or two), and the narratives tilt self-absorbed, undercutting any Appalachia authenticity in the music with a disheartening granola vibe. With Little Tybee and Jeremy Aggers. $6/$7. Milestone. www.themilestoneclub.com.

Taking Back Sunday tonight (7/14/11)

Posted By on Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 9:19 AM

Taking Back Sunday It seems safe to call these guys pop-punk pioneers. They established their hand in combining hardcore and pop-punk into widely accepted hit records over a decade ago and don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon now that the original lineup was back for their last album. With domestic and international dates scheduled in support of their latest album, expect the best from them. Thursday, Colour Revolt and The New Regime open. $34.50. The Fillmore. www.fillmorecharlottenc.com.

Now accepting Homebrew submissions

Posted By on Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 3:48 PM

It's about that time again — we're beginning work on the Jeff Hahne's Homebrew Vol. 5 CD and are actively seeking submissions for it.

If you're a band or artist that has release new music in the last year and are based within 30 miles of Charlotte, we'd welcome you to send in a song or two for consideration. It is not known how many bands will be featured on the disc, but I'd guess at least 12-15. The CD will be released this fall.

You can either e-mail an mp3 (we prefer higher quality recordings) or send in a physical copy to:

Jeff Hahne

Creative Loafing Charlotte

1000 Seaboard St., Suite C-2

Charlotte, NC 28206

The CDs are distributed for free at a variety of venues and stores around town in order to expose more people to the music being created in the Queen City. The deadline for submissions is July 31.

If you are interested in sponsoring the CD, you can e-mail Jeff at jeff.hahne@creativeloafing.com
