We talked to Chris Shiflett, guitarist for the Foo Fighters, as he......

Tomorrow night, you should check out local favorites The Mathletes last show of the year (already?). They headline the line-up at The Proletariat.

Some of the strongest names in local music treat us to some of the classics, a treat that we'll selfishly......

The song is simple, totally electronic, and very new wave, but we still love it. It's hard to believe that it's been 28 years since the release of "Cars" from Gary Numan. A Top 10 hit from 1980, it was a very left-field hit that year, sounding like nothing else you heard on the radio. We're happy that the YouTube poster included the lyrics to the song; we just now realized that for almost......

Tuesday You don’t hear about the verbal fights between Noel & Liam Gallagher as much these days, but we’re sure there’s still in-fighting within Oasis. The venue needs to take VH1’s lead and setup a closed-caption screen so we can understand their deep bloody accents. The Redwalls open. Video: “Thank You” (The Redwalls) 8 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Theater | tickets and info Wednesday Cheryl Wheeler is a true folk singer/songwriter, mixing in the......
