A Music Blog For People Who Like Music, Blogs & Music Blogs
While homebodies by nature, we do regularly muster the single malt courage to go out into the world and experience music in the flesh, and we document these excursions in Where the Bus Pass Took Us.
Last night we found ourselves back at Bloomington’s best venue, The Bishop, for another night of rock and roll via the Panic Strikes a Chord album release party – with Throwing Stars and Hard Candy Hearts. We grabbed video of all three bands for your enjoyment, check them out below.
Today we talk to Jeremy Brightbill about his long running musical project Panic Strikes a Chord and their new album, Accidents in a Very Busy Place.
Fine…you’re a funky giraffe then. Sheesh.
Bonus Christmas Eve post because you’ve all been so good this year.
Check out the music year in review from our buddy Patrick – lead singer of the late and great Tremendous Fucking. He may not be screaming in your face these days, but he still loves the rock and roll and he loves his brother Rick. Take a gander at the sweet mix CD he made for his number one brosef and for a brief moment pretend that you too are part of their Family O’ Rock.
The mix is heavy on local bands, and so as our Christmas gift to you we found a video for every local band included and inserted it into the post. Everyone except Hard Candy Hearts, who are too handsome to be captured on film. It was almost impossible to find videos of the specific songs Pat picked, but you will still get the idea.
Our favorite evil blues band the Hard Candy Hearts will be coming to you live tonight, and yet still in conjunction with any restraining orders you may have against them, via the magic of the radio and it’s impetuous kid sister – the internet.
People in the basic area of Bloomington, Indiana can tune in to WFHB at 91.3 and 98.1 FM on their quaint sound machines, while the kind of people who hang out on blogs can catch it at http://wfhb.org/ Things kick off at 9:30 PM (EST).

Last Friday (May 28th) we made our way to Bear’s Place to catch the Hard Candy Hearts with openers The Hot Stiffs and Hot Mess. Foolishly arriving at the time advertised, we had plenty of time to eat some fries and fiddle with our phones before the show began.
