Episode 33 - Walker Fields

And finally, episode 33 with Walker Fields.

In which Michelle gushes over music that is in her "lovin' right now" sweet spot & bonds over thrifting.

Tim may or may not be amused.

Getting out to see some live music - upcoming shows

No need for post-holiday blues, because the local music scene isn't slowing down just because it is cold outside.

Episode 30 - Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps

Caroline and Jesse absolutely blew Michelle's mind when she saw them opening for Cloud Cult this summer at Orchestra Hall, so words cannot describe how excited Michelle was to have Caroline and the Good Night Sleeps' bassist, Jesse, in the studio this week.

The Current's Local Show placed Little Wind, Caroline & the band's 2011 release, amongst the top local releases of the past year.  It's definitely worth picking it up (personal favorite?  ;;;)

Just in case you were wondering, the other local band opening for Dawes was Red Daughters - and they were great.  I wouldn't be surprised to be hearing more from them in the very near future.

And, on a final note, here's Caroline covering Dr. Dre.

Episode 29 - Unsound Logic

This week, we were joined in the STB Studio by Unsound Logic.

We had a great time rocking out with Andy, Andy, Nick and Mike.  It was great to follow up an awesome summer show with a fantastic winter in-studio.  We can't wait to see what they will be doing in 2012.

Oh, and just in case you thought we forgot - here's that video of Nick putting his foot over his head.
