Tomorrow night (Saturday, 9/21) the homegrown indie rock band celebrates returning to New Orleans with a show at Tipitina’s after an epic summer of festivals and touring. We caught up with the lead singer for this e-interview: You’ve had quite a summer, hitting some of the biggest festivals in the country. What was you favorite […]
Red Baraat will be in New Orleans for three shows and two parades leading up to Fat Tuesday. They headline the Blue Nile on Sunday night, open for Galactic on Monday night, and play at the Hi Ho Lounge on Mardi Gras. I caught up with the band’s leader and dohl player Sunny Jain to […]
I first heard Daria Dzurik at a performance at the Louisiana Music Factory. I was impressed by her stage presence and her ability to integrate a steel drum into her act. After a short conversation, she agreed to participate in an e-question and answer session. 1. You play a steel drum or pan as part […]
Filthybird was a band our friend Alyssa DeHayes from Team Clermont suggested that we check out. We are very proud of ourselves for taking her advice. The band is definitely one of our favoroite finds at this year’s Hopscotch Music Festival. Even though we did not get to see them play live in Raleigh, we’ve been […]
Ever since Generationals came to Memphis and played our show The Warm Up, we’ve been listening to their album Actor-Caster non-stop. That’s why we were thrilled when we realized that they would be playing Hopscotch Music Festival this year. We were lucky enough to catch their performance for Sound Situations at Marsh Windwoods. We also […]
We were so excited to get to meet Django Haskins and check out his band The Old Ceremony after hearing from Jody Stephens what a nice dude he is. The two tall, cool and handsome musicians met and played together during The Fully Orchestrated Live Premiere of Big Star’s Third that was put on by […]
We are still sitting on some interviews from our time in Raleigh, NC at Hopscotch Music Festival. We’ve gotten a little behind but bear with us! They are worth the wait! This one is with our new favorite band I Was Totally Destroying It who we caught up with at our good friend Team Clermont‘s party.
We caught up with Man / Miracle after their Sound Situations taping at Marsh Woodwinds in Raleigh, NC during Hopscotch Music Festival. The band is known for their high energy live shows. Go download their song “Low Hanging Fruit” from RCRDLBL and look for their new EP Valleys September 26 on digital or cassette. We enjoyed our interview with […]
We caught up with Brooklyn’s Dinosaur Feathers at their Sound Situations taping at Marsh Windwoods in raleigh, NC while they were in town to play the Hopscotch Festival. As a matter of fact, Spin Magazine just wrote that they were one of the 8 Best Moments of the Hopscotch Music Festival We found the band […]
The Rocketboys are currently working on finishing up their new record, but we cornered them at their last show in Memphis. You can see them on tour with Kevin Devine and An Horse this fall.
We don’t like to play favorites here at TVD-Memphis (well, maybe just a little) but Freelance Whales was definitely our favorite act at Bonnaroo! We were initially bummed when we rolled up on their first performance at That Tent because it was so jam packed it was impossible to get in close enough to actually […]
Well, this is the shortest 5 Questions With segment we have done so far. Jeff the Brotherhood (of which no one in the band is actually named Jeff) are men of few words. We were bummed until we saw them play later that night and were blown away by their performance. Every bigwig blogger and […]
Kylesa was definitely the hardest rocking band we saw at Bonnaroo. We were a little intimidated to sit down with them and do our silly little interview – and then we had to move them three times to find a quiet spot backstage! But Laura and Phillip were super cool about it! If you want […]
We were actually glad the entire line-up of River City Extension did not show up for our interview – we would have never been able to fit them all into frame! Joe and Mike were more than generous with their time and we had a lot fun chatting with them! We hope that some day […]
So, we met up with Austin’s Band of Heathens in the mid-afternoon and found a shady place backstage to cozy up with them. They seemed to finally loosen up right at the end of the segment, so we look forward to our next meeting when we are certain they will be buying us a drink […]
