Anybody that can get Femi Kuti on their album is A-OK in my book. The KBCO favorite, Brett Dennen, will be @ the Bluebird tonight. You can purchase Brett Dennen’s album here and check out the lovely Mandy Moore, or should I say, Mandy Adams in the Brett Dennen video below. Brett Dennen (feat. Femi…

Pete Yorn to Open for Coldplay
Ever since his monster debut album came out in 2001, Yorn has become the incredible shrinking man. I hope his forthcoming album from Columbia titled, Back and Forth, slated to be released on June 23rd. The project isn’t produced by Rick Rubin, but he oversaw the project from start to finish, which is damn close…

The guys are doing a small US tour to spread their gospel in the two cities foreign…
Sebastien Grainger & the Mountains
I had forgotten all about Sebastien’s new project with the Mountains until SXSW a couple of weeks ago. We were leaving Mohawk and heard them playing at Club Deville. We were uber late meeting some friends and I regret not just telling everybody that I would catch up with them because of how rocking the…

Beyond the Wizards Sleeve
Urb caught up with the ubiquitous duo and talked about spells, goblins, and what kind of toads were best used in a cauldron of crushed bones. Well, maybe they caught up about other items as well, see for yourself. Beyond the Wizards Sleeve is the sublime remix duo of Erol Alkan and Richard Norris (of…
