You best believe we’re going to be hitting the Seaknuckle, Silent Old Mtns. and Rozwell Kid stuff hard this week. Saturday night will be historic! To commemorate as much, here’s a photo of Seaknuckle’s merchandise at Cafe Nola last year. And oh, you best believe that the band will have some merch on hand Saturday … when they release their first-ever LP at 200 E. Patrick St.! The excitement. It’s nuts.

What a beautiful sunny and warm Thursday before the Fourth Of July! Oh, wait. It’s not? OK. Well, either way, check out this video of Rozwell Kid’s ‘Kangaroo Pocket.” We’ve been playing it on The Local Playlist each week on WSHC (listen online tomorrow at 1!). More importantly, though, Rozwell Kid will be playing at 200 E. Patrick St. in downtown Frederick as we open a brand new concert facility (or, as it’s unofficially known, the Playlist Funhouse) next Saturday, July 11. There’s going to be beer pong. There’s going to be fun. There’s going to be Rozwell Kid. We’ll be back in a few hours with some goodies. You’ll want to see what’s up.
Today’s photo features Brooks Long performing at the First Friday at The Park West Bazaar in Baltimore last month (yes, today means it’s July now). Even if he doesn’t return emails or Twitter messages about possible bookings, we still love us some Brooks Long, so this photo makes us happy. For those wondering, they will be in Manassas on July 7. Get hip. Photo courtesy of Cassandra Mullinix. For more of her photos, visit https://www.facebook.com/bucketofrock.
Well, the Weather Channel says that “occasional thunderstorms are likely to begin at 1:45 p.m.” here in Frederick, but come hell or high water (as some of us learned last week) the Levitt Amp concert series will go down, if not along the creek, then at 15 Square, right across the street from the Weinberg. Some of us introduced Mary Ann Redmond last week (and even got some laughs … until the crickets came), and this week, Walker’s Run is going to bring their awesomeness to town. The show is free, remember. And shoot – even if it’s indoors, you can bring a chair to recreate that Carroll Creek feel. Or something. Either way, enjoy!
Well, we weren’t here on Thursday. Sorry about that. No Weekend Playlist. No Video Of The Day. Did you notice? Doubtful. Either way, to make it up to you, we thought we’d share this photo of the Alive@Five crowd from the series’ first week, if only to represent Thursday somehow. Does that makes sense? It’s a stretch, isn’t it? Anyway. We’ll be back in a few hours with an awesomely awesome treat for a Monday. Don’t count us out just yet! Photo by Graham Cullen. He’s great. You can follow him on Twitter here.
Today’s photo features a press shot of the fine lads in Marzy Maddox, who will hold an EP release party on Friday down along the creek. For those under the impression that the show was going to be at The Faux School … well, it’s not. Instead, the event is still going down – for free – at Carroll Creek Amphitheatre and it will also feature Samuel Powers and Kennedy. Free music. A Friday night. An EP Release. What more could you want? We’ll be back in a few hours to post a Q&A with the band.
Well, it’s only 10 a.m., but the hourly forecast for tonight says, bluntly, “scattered strong storms.” Still, the second installment of the Levitt Amp summer concert series is tonight along the creek and it’s scheduled to feature Mary Ann Redmond. The fun kicks off at seven and there will indeed be a volunteer who hasn’t shaved his face in far too long running around. There is a rain venue for the series, but, because memories only last so long, you’ll have to stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter pages as the day progresses to find out more information, should we have to move the venue. Got all that? Good. Now, happy Tuesday!
Welp. Did you make it out to Flying Dog’s front lawn on Saturday? We did (along with the fine young men in Seaknuckle). And even though the fun kicked off a half-hour early, the impending monsoon/apocalypse/end of days kept Hurray For The Riff Raff off the stage, sadly. Still, before the storm rolled in, Mechanical River were able to take the stage and get in their opening set. And thus … this photo. We’ll be at the next Flying Dog show on July 18 with Surfer Blood. That day’s forecast? A 100 percent chance of awesome. Photo courtesy of Cassandra Mullinix. For more of her photos, visit https://www.facebook.com/bucketofrock.
We’ll round out the week in videos with Hurray For The Riff Raff’s official clip for “The Body Electric.” It has more than 78,000 views. Be impressed. This also serves as a reminder that indeed we still have two tickets we plan on giving away for the concert on Flying Dog’s front lawn this Saturday. You can still enter. It’s easy. And it’s free. There is very little in life better than easy and free. And Hurray For The Riff Raff. And Flying Dog. And … you get it.
We’re going to go ahead and post this press photo of Hurray For The Riff Raff because A) They will be on Flying Dog’s front lawn this weekend. B) We are still giving away tickets to the show. And C) Unfortunately, our interview with the band fell through at the very last minute. So, in lieu of a Q&A that you might not have read anyway, here’s Alynda looking mysterious and awesome. There are still tickets left, friends. You won’t want to miss it.
