Charleston favorites, Babe Club are back again with a new single, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.” This comes in advance of their upcoming performance at High Water Festival. Word on the street is they’ve got a full band lined up for this performance and if you’re at High Water this year it’s in your best interests to catch Babe Club. The one band from within the local music scene on the lineup, aside from Shovels & Rope.

Die Spitz are a band from the Austin music scene that are really buzzing right now. I had the chance to see them during SXSW and was super impressed. There is something about an all-girl band playing metal that is just some of the coolest shit ever. Especially when they rip this hard.

They have two more singles coming out later this month, plus some videos. Just listen to this shit and tell me it doesn’t get you fired up… you can’t

“getting away” is a step in the right direction. I feel like as an artist I’ve started to hit my creative stride, “getting away” is a track that touches on a lot that’s led me to the conclusion I need to get away from certain habits and thought processes. Ive been so caught up in shock factor forgetting to really just close my eyes and breathe in. It’s 100% the most experimental electronic I’ve gone while still retaining my core sound, shout out Earth to Jackson as-well who...

It’s 100% the most experimental electronic I’ve gone while still retaining my core sound, shout out Earth to Jackson as-well who produced this specific track. Ill leave you with one of my favorite lines “I need a new revival, sometimes I get suicidal, and this my blue recital who the f*** am I though.”

Rip City on a Boat – part comedy show, part sunset cruise, all parts good times. Happening April 28th. Gonna be a fun one. Come check it out.

Yes, but it gets them out of sight for the tourists. We cannot forget that almost every decision made by Charleston is done with the interests of protecting tourist dollars. Charleston must continue to be seen as a perfect haven for the money to keep flowing.

Anything that looks sketchy to Karen & Kyle with their son Bryson and their daughter Bayleigh is swept under the rug, because God forbid they cancel their flights and 4 night stay at the Francis Marion hotel, steak dinner at Hall’s and...

Definitely still down to write the main review! Will be brainstorming other ideas…

Vampire Weekend – “Peggy O” – Played last week on Sirius XM.

I’ve never really been a fan of Vampire Weekend  but I do love “Peggy O.” I know it’s not really a Dead song but they played it all the time and it’s one of my favorites.

Something about that VW sound, I still can’t really get on board even when they’re playing a song I love. I guess I don’t like the repetitive way they build songs nor do i really enjoy the tone of that acoustic guitar.

@sgmgmt i remember when that happened… his neighbor caught him on camera after he came home drunk one night. out on his front lawn hollering racial slurs.

i won’t embed that video here, but just in case anyone hasn’t seen it… TMZ has it here (censored): https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/02/morgan-wallen-n-word-nashville-neighbors/

absolutely mind-blowing to me how this guy is the biggest name in country music right now when there are so many amazing country singers and songwriters out there...

Morgan Wallen’s also been publicly caught on video using explicit racial slurs (a few years ago) and still seems to have a pretty steady career. This raises the question — Do Country music stars face the same consequences that other celebrities do? Or does their fan base excuse behavior more than other fan bases?

High Water has approved: Myself, Kate Bryan, Sarah Grace Sherbondy, and Mikayla DiDonato for media passes (photo for SG and Mikayla). I believe Gardner will be there too. And Clif probably.

I would like to divide and conquer and come up with a plan to hit this festival from all angles for some dope collaborative coverage.

Kate, we discussed how you would write the main review this year, which can still happen if you’re still down, but we can also split up duties to come up with unique ideas since there are so many of us.

I’m planning to do some personal commentary, definitely going to focus on my opinion of Noah Kahan’s set as a skeptic/hater/non tik-tocker. Also want to write about Babe Club extensively.

Anyways, the fest is in 11 days so I wanted to get this going. Please do chime in with thoughts or ideas. Mikayla is not in here but I will relay to her....

Oh common Kahan’s not that bad… But I can get in contact with Mikayla and figure out how we can divide and conquer.

@kategtthomas I don’t know either. It seems like the more shit like this he does the more people eat it up. I doubt he will actually face the consequences of the three felonies he was charged with.

Here’s a Billboard article about the incident: https://www.billboard.com/business/legal/morgan-wallen-arrested-felony-throwing-chair-roof-nashville-bar-1235651239/

And a quote from that article:

“Wallen was arrested and booked just after midnight and charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, posting a $15,250 bond to secure his release around 3:30 a.m. The incident came just days after Wallen kicked off his 2024 One Night at a Time tour. The singer’s next court date in the incident is May 3rd; he is slated to play Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on May 2nd and 3rd.”

Will he perform at those shows? I’d say probably.

Another one, Skull & Roses at the Ventura Fairgrounds. The location of the famous Grateful Dead concert 8/27/72 aka Sunshine Daydream. This is especially fucked up considering they aren’t doing refunds.

This email essentially says, hey, it’s 10 days out from the festival and we have no money left so uhh… sorry but the event is canceled.

Someone is getting sued

Damn, they really hyped up the news about it on social media. I hadn’t taken the time to look into it and just saw tornados, hazardous weather conditions at Texas Eclipse, Fyre 2.0, and that’s what stuck in my mind.

Sucks that someone died. Running out of water is definitely a big problem at an event of that size.

Thank you @moldy for posting a recap

update – it is storming pretty bad today. I believe the weather cancellation is legit. It would have been a mess getting everyone out today.

Great article SG! Yea it truly was a magical evening. I kept remarking on how incredible their song catalog is.. timeless hits, one after the other. Great stories and insights into the songs meanings and place on the charts etc. I felt like a kid again.
