Picture Book: Unknown Hinson at Juanita’s, December 9

By Sarah Spencer

Full gallery after the jump.

On December 9, the reigning King of Country Western Troubadours, Unknown Hinson, had his long awaited return to Little Rock and performed at the new Juanita’s, located in the historic downtown Rivermarket District. Unknown Hinson, with his electric, alternative-country sound also debuted his brand new band to his rapidly growing and devoted fan base during his two full sets of play time. Opening for Unknown Hinson was the Arkansas-based, feel-good country band, The Salty Dogs. … Continue Reading

Live Review & Picture Book: Family Force 5 at Revolution Music Room, November 5

By Sarah Spencer

On November 5, the popular Christian crunk rock band Family Force 5 invaded Little Rock’s Revolution Music Room in bold fashion with themselves as their own opening band. Although they were in costume, complete with wigs and mustaches along with incognito names and personas calling themselves The 808ers, their fans quickly realized the masquerade. The 808ers used voice distortion when conversing with audience members while claiming “Family Force 5 hired us to do this karaoke challenge thing.” The randomly selected fans picked a FF5 song to do with the band, karaoke style. There were three sets of challengers. A local named Tim Fisher was awarded as the audience approved winner who would later appear at the end of the night to sing with FF5.

CD Review: Girl in a Coma — Exits & All the Rest; Playing DC9, November 9

Girl in a Coma
Exits & All the Rest
Blackheart Records

By Al Kaufman

If ever a band name has been a misnomer, than it is for Girl in a Coma. Yes, this trio from San Antonio grew up as Smiths fans (hence the band name), but their music is very much alive. … Continue Reading

CD Review: Gringo Star — Count Yer Lucky Stars; Playing Black Cat, November 13

Gringo Star
Count Yer Lucky Stars
Gigantic Music

By Ellen Eldridge

To say a buzz has been brewing over Atlanta’s Gringo Star would downplay the frenetic reverberations on the music industry radar. The allusion to Beatles drummer Ringo Starr remains a cute sarcasm, and fits the band’s style well with the choice of instruments including Rickenbacker and Fender guitars. The microphone used in the video for “All Y’all” off the debut looks like it came straight off the set of the Ed Sullivan show, so I think it’s safe to say Gringo Star is a loving reference to a musical influence. … Continue Reading

CD Review: Wild Flag — Wild Flag; Playing Black Cat, October 20 and 40 Watt, October 22

Wild Flag
Wild Flag
Merge

By Al Kaufman

Supergroups of any type rarely live up to their hype, but since the hype for Wild Flag was practically non-existent, and since the women in this band don’t care about such petty things, their debut album far surpasses any expectations that may have been garnered. … Continue Reading
