Earlier today I connected with Cut Copy guitarist Tim Hoey to get the truth behind their Green alliance, knowing full well the band will be glued to the screen -- 9:30 am Saturday, Australia time -- when Game 3 rolls around this evening at the Garden.
Modern-day escapism
Music is often meant to soothe, to relax the mind, and — at times of greatest need — to provide an escape from our drab daily grind.
Rhymes with Stella
Last year was many things for many people, but 2011 as a whole just wasn't much fun for former Static of the Gods vocalist/guitarist Jen Johnson.
Three days in 3D
There was an endless list of notable things that happened this past weekend (the first of two) in the California desert.
Eight isn’t enough
Twenty-three bands entered T. T.'s own private Thunderdome last week, and only eight bands remain after six Rock 'n' Roll Rumble nights of preliminary-round musical throwdowns.

Live performance has remained fairly consistent since music became a thing: the performer is the focal point, and the audience is amassed around or in front of the person or group responsible for creating the sounds.
High voltage
Boston's going through an identity crisis; never has the city's music scene been so diverse, its sonic landscape so eclectic.
Turning the page
When Stephie Coplan was 14 years old, the empty pages in her first songwriting book were as much an escape as they were a creative outlet.
Speaking volumes in Central
Last Thursday night in Cambridge, the common act of covering Joy Division suddenly went from timeless to timely.
Turnout (2011)
A few years ago, the cutesy teens in Natalie Portman's Shaved Head slid out of Seattle on the hot pink shoulders of robo-bounce kinda-hit "Me + Ur Daughter" and the cheap intrigue of a ridiculous moniker.
OUT Preview: This weekend in Allston
Nearly 50 years ago, Barry Tashian found his beat in the center of London.
