• JOHN PAUL was back in town last week, and not just to play a gig at the Empire. He brought his band, the COURTSHIP, with him from LA (the California one) and they spent a week with JONATHAN WYMAN working on a new record. No word on a time-table for release, but expect something in the not-too-distant future. Last time he went Nashville. We'll see where Wyman takes him.
• DEAD SEASON have found their bassist: CHRIS MICHAUD, formerly of UNCLE JACK and FUNNEL. Shouldn't be long before they're gigging in earnest again.
• You've got a chance to catch a new project featuring WEAVE (of 6GIG and RULER OF THE RAGING MAIN), the MILK BROTHERS, playing with the still-new-themselves MURCIELAGO, and the CLASS MACHINE this Friday at the Empire. An eclectic show, that. The Milk Brothers are old-time jam at the moment, with a lot of Allman and Dead influences, but a bit of the P-Funk, too.
• Keep an ear out for a DESOLATE GRACE EP — they say it'll be appearing sometime this month.

Dilly Dilly may not be done with music, but she is apparently done with Portland.
- Something in the struggle
It would have taken some favorable odds for me to have put money on Loki celebrating a decade as a band back when they debuted in 2000. Jonathan Taylor’s Sully Erna-like metal-growl was all in vogue with the angry young man set, and there seemed to be dozens of similar-sounding metal-rock bands who were fans of Rage Against the Machine.

Rachel and Becky Unthank appear to have stepped out of another time and place.
- Codeine Velvet Club | Codeine Velvet Club
Like a Glaswegian version of Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner’s Last Shadow Puppets , the Codeine Velvet Club project finds Jon Lawler of the Fratellis making retro-’60s supper-club pop with sweeping orchestral arrangements where the fuzzy guitars usually go.
- Sightings | City of Straw
City of Straw works less like a conventional album of songs and more like a portal torn into this esteemed NYC-based experimental trio’s ominous world of heavy industrial noise that stays open for just 40 minutes.
- Dark Time Sunshine | Vessel
Although highly conceptual and even tedious at times, this new adventure from Grayskul’s Onry Ozzborn and Portland (Oregon) producer Zavala does not belong in the Emperor’s New Closet with so many comparable alt-rap projects.
- Sam Amidon | I See the Sign
Sam Amidon is fascinated with the songbook of old Americana, and his radical yet tasteful reimaginings of traditional folk ballads and hymns breathe new life into a form often seen as quaint and old-fashioned.

To keep tabs on how Duck Down maintains its hardcore tradition despite also expanding with MTV-friendly acts like Kidz in the Hall, you need look no farther than Ruste Juxx and Marco Polo.

It was 2006 and music producer Jo Jo Gator, a couple of decades removed from the glory days, needed to get back on the radar screen.

From Yiddish speed-rhymes to Latin funk, the 2010 Rock Hunt finals once again delivered a musically diverse and thoroughly-entertaining show at Lupo’s last Saturday.
