Chris Isaak on New Album: “We Did It Like the ’50s, No Overdubbing, That’s Cheating”
Chris Isaak is enjoying some rare down time at home in San Francisco. Not that he’s taking it easy. With an album to promote — a collection of rock ‘n’ roll standards dubbed Beyond the Sun — Isaak’s engaged in a string of telephone interviews with music journalists. At the…
Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson Talks Prog Rock, Flute Magic, and Thick as a Brick
In the heady early ’70s, it was common for new fans to mistakenly believe that Jethro Tull, the band, was named after the flautist who balanced precipitously on one leg. But the real Jethro Tull was an 18th-century English agricultural engineer and inventor while the wild-eyed, flute-wielding prog rock frontman…

Tracking Sting’s Evolution From Police Chief to Adult-Contemporary Guru
There are some artists who can’t escape their past, no matter how hard they try. Paul Simon is inextricably linked to Simon & Garfunkel. Robert Plant will always be the tousle-haired, bare-chested vocalist of Led Zeppelin. John Fogerty will never fully put Credence Clearwater Revival behind him. And Sting, despite…
Festival Miami Kicks Off With Pulitzer-Winning Composer Gunther Schuller Today
Gunther Schuller’s name may not be as well known as say, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman or Ludwig Von Beethoven. And yet, in his own way, he brought their musical mores together by creating a unique synthesis of jazz and classical music that not only helped to redefine modern music, but…
Ten Superstormy Classic Rock Songs for Hurricane Season
One of the biggest drags about living in South Florida is the fact that we don’t experience a change of season. Save one … The dreaded hurricane season. It’s bad enough we can’t look forward to the leaves changing colors. Or being able to feel the nip of winter in…
Jim Wurster and His New Album Straight to Me at the Luna Star Cafe April 15
Jim Wurster is a musician of serious intent. His earliest efforts with Black Janet bolstered the perception, given that the band’s dark designs weren’t simply a by-product of their name. Still, Wurster really came into his own when he went solo and subsequently formed the Atomic Cowboys, taking a 180-degree…

Still Hungry! Duran Duran Hits Ultra Music Festival 2011 This Friday
There are several parts to the Duran Duran saga. The first found the Brit New Wave band conquering America, providing fodder for MTV, and turning songs such as “Hungry Like The Wolf,” “Save A Prayer,” “Union of the Snake,” “The Reflex” and “Wild Boys” into rallying cries for a new…

Dreaming in Stereo’s CD-release party at the Stage February 20
“This is not bar-band music,” Fernando Perdomo says emphatically of Dreaming in Stereo 2, the followup to the band’s remarkable 2009 self-titled debut. Like its predecessor, the new album takes its cue from a distinctly ’70s sound, one that melds the orchestral style of the Moody Blues with the drama…

Flogging Molly the Fillmore February 12
It’s ironic that the Dropkick Murphys have become practically synonymous with the words Irish and insurgency, especially since that particular outfit hails from Boston, a city that’s separated from the Emerald Isles by several thousand miles. Now while Los Angeles’s Flogging Molly purveys a similar sound, the band actually maintains…
Yonder Mountain String Band at Revolution Live February 4
It’s not surprising that the majority of Yonder Mountain String Band’s record catalog is culled from live performances. A foremost proponent of the so-called “new grass” phenomenon (think the Dead or Phish), the band couples guitars with banjos, bouzouki, and mandolins to spur the communal enthusiasm. Investigate YMSB’s last album,…

Flogging Molly’s Matthew Hensley Talks Celtic Tunes, Punk, Politics, and Skateboarding
Best known for blending an upstart attitude with Celtic tradition, Flogging Molly can not only claim a sonic but also a geographical bond with the old country. The band’s founder and frontman Dave King is a Dublin native whose familiarity with Irish insurgency is underscored by the fact he’s able to draw…
Flogging Molly Brings Brash Irish Anthems to the Fillmore Miami Beach February 12

Roger Waters Rebuilds The Wall at the BankAtlantic Center November 13 and 14
Roger Waters has always seemed an irascible kind of guy. With his steely scowl and chiseled features, he radiates intimidation. And certainly, his contentious pronouncements about Middle East politics and his relationship with ex-bandmate David Gilmour often serve to reinforce that reputation. More to the point, his classic contribution to…
