There are a ton of shows coming to Northeast Ohio in the first half of April. A wallet-destroying amount, in fact. They may as well have just set up a festival. Neon Indian, Chuck Ragan, Girl Talk, Cloud Nothings, Guster, ?uestlove, P-Funk, among others. And they just keep coming! Just yesterday, the Beachland Ballroom announced … Read more
Boston cops put kibosh on the mosh
Several media are reporting on one of the most bogus crackdowns on the music scene ever, which began earlier this week. Police have apparently cited the Boston House of Blues for a rowdy mosh pit — which they’re referring to as “slam dancing” — that involved about 60 people who must’ve been going absolute ape … Read more
Bonnaroo, All Good, Electric Forest announce more acts
A few of the big summer music festivals made additions to their lineups this past week. Who’s itching for hot weather and lots of live music? I am still very much up in the air over what the hell to do, but these three fests seem to be discussed most frequently, so here’s an update … Read more
El-P releasing new album after five years
So, I’m not an avid hip-hop listener, but I do enjoy a handful of acts. These acts consist mostly of people I’ve been listening to for years, and their music never gets old. Case in point: El-P. The first track I heard from El-P was “Tasmanian Pain Coaster” featuring the boys from the Mars Volta … Read more
Destroyer coming to The Beachland Ballroom
Dan Bejar will be bringing his not-so-appropriately-named band Destroyer to Cleveland in June. Sandro Perri will be opening. Check him out in today’s song of the day.

Cleveland music clubs get partial relief from admission tax
Good news for our fellow concert goers: Mayor Frank Jackson has offered small music clubs partial relief from the city’s 8 percent admission tax, possibly defusing a feud with some club owners, according to Cleveland.com. A new proposal, introduced this week at the request of the Jackson administration, would apply the tax to only 25 … Read more

Manic folk-punk pioneers Andrew Jackson Jihad are going to be making a stop at the Grog Shop on April 25.
