Jeff Hahne's Homebrew Vol. 5 was celebrated with a release party on Friday, Nov. 4, at the Neighborhood Theatre. Featuring performances by Lucky Five, Temperance League, The Bear Romantic, Cement Stars and Side By Side, the event drew hundreds to the venue for a free night of music and a free CD.
We gave out more than 500 copies of the Vol. 5 CD along with 60 copies of Vol. 4, which was released last year. In the coming weeks, you'll be able to download Vol. 5 online and find physical copies at stores around town, including Lunchbox Records and Manifest Discs.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the show, in addition to the Neighborhood Theatre, who is a sponsor along with Buffalo Exchange and Rock University.

Perpetual Groove - Tonight @ Neighborhood Theatre
Posted By Tremaine Tillman on Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 9:02 AM
The Athens-based band, better known as PGroove by loyal fans, will be in town playing what will surely be a euphoric and psychedelic show. Although they may play a few covers — still epic, by the way — you can definitely expect a variety of original tunes in the band’s brand of trance arena rock. Their genre of music expands across jazz-rock, psychedelia and even R&B, producing a wildly original sound that appeals to everyone.
With The Werks. $15-$30. Neighborhood Theatre.

Live Reviews Live review: MC Frontalot

MC Frontalot w/ Thought Criminals, MC Exactly, Keyza Soulsay & Brandon Patton
The Milestone
Nov. 3, 2011
Anyone who's ever felt even moderately socially awkward needed to be at the MC Frontalot show at the Milestone Thursday night. The fans — all thick-framed glasses and ninja-turtle shirts — shed their emotional chains and set themselves free in an environment where no one was judging anyone. Frontalot's shows are a rare treat in which nerds put down the 40K and Tekken and party to music they can relate to — nerdcore hip-hop. It's a beautiful, freeing thing.
Backed by DJ Justin Aswell, local wordsmiths MC Exactly and Keyza Soulsay opened with performances that well represented Q.C. hip-hop, followed by a solo acoustic set from Connecticut's Brandon Patton. Charlotte's Thought Criminals upped the nerdiness factor with their live-band hip-hop that drew the crowd into a sea of white-boy dancing. The Criminals slay rhymes like Iron Chefs chopping away at the competition. But they also hold down the nerdy front in lyrics about living the geeky lifestyle. The Criminals' final, Super NES-inspired song, “Earthbound,” brought Soulsay, Exactly, MC Cataclysm and Angel Foster on stage to take turns trading rhymes and tearing up the mic like it was the school bully. The room was primed for the main attraction.
Videos Pinn Panelle livens up Skrillex song

Saw this video on Facebook earlier today and thought it was worth sharing. A Boston band called Pinn Panelle recreates Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" using traditional instruments:
