New Band Alert: SIV is a heavy powerhouse of a band. Bassist? They don't need no bassist. One guitar, one drummer and the unequaled rock-appeal of vocalist extraordinaire, Emmalee. Catch their show on April 18th (opening for Oh My God) at the Annex in Madison.
Mini Review: Beyond the Egg by Madison musician Leosongs landed in my mailbox and has rarely left my CD player since. A fusion of garage and campfire music, this remarkable one-man band has all of the whimsical charm and guts of the early 90's New Zealand groups, which he has never heard.
