KSLG: Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights

Myles: "At 7 PM 1/20/2011 Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights out of Dallas will be in the studio for an acoustic session and interview.  They'll be playing the Red Fox Tavern on 1/20 at 10 PM. With a debut album produced by Jay Joyce (who’s known for his work with Cage the Elephant), these guys have opened up for ACDC, Kid Rock, Deep Purple and other blockbusters with tremendous force…. Now signed on to Atlantic records, they’re major record label debut 'Pardon Me' is filled to the brink with hard hitting, emotionally connecting singles that rock lovers will find easy to enjoy."

 Brilliant! You must watch. Worth all 9:43.

Local music scene fans rejoice!

 (via the North Coast Journal blog)

Man, is timing everything. This morning on Twitter, former member of The Hitch, Magnum and numerous other socks-rockin’ bands (and current bearded construction god, seen above with Duane Flatmo’s fire breathing dragon) Steve Bohner announced:

Looks like the new band has found a keyboard player…..

New band? Keyboard player? Bohner agreed to come on the air with Monica to talk about this new project, which the local music scene has been waiting for. He talked about a collaboration between himself and Roshawn Beere (neither of which have played together since The Hitch split up, a few years ago) on drums and bass, with Dragged By Horses singer and guitar player Pablo Midence… and a keyboard player, who will remain anonymous for now, but whom Bohner assures us has been an integral part of the local music scene for many years.

Stay tuned to the NCJ blog and 94.1 KSLG-FM for more details, as they surface. In the meantime, go buy some new socks.

Colin Meloy's alternate reality

 

Colin Meloy, the lead singer and songwriter of the band The Decemberists, has written a novel. His literary debut, Wildwood, is a middle-grade fantasy (middle-grade is publisher-speak for Young Young Adult) set in an alternate-reality version of Meloy’s hometown, Portland, Ore., in which adventure and magic have replaced flannel and independent coffee houses.
