“Let’s Rock” this Friday!

Posted on June 19, 2007 | Leave a comment

So says Charles Buchanan over at Pop Goes the City as he provides a great post about this year’s Art on the Rocks concerts. FYI – he’s also the guy who did the really cool wood block cut used in our header. Check it out.

We do have a couple more details about Friday’s event:

Mindy Smith’s MySpace profile – performing (and pictured)

Art on The Rocks‘ MySpace profile – hosting

You can also check out the entry in our Timetable calendar, which you can subscribe to for your iCalendar or Google Calendar.

We also have a favor to ask… Continue reading →

City Stages 2007: Singin’ in the Shower… in Linn Park?

Posted on June 16, 2007 | Leave a comment

People walking at the southern end of Linn Park were quick to notice the large shower sitting across from Birmingham, Alabama’s Board of Education building.

You’ve already missed the evening of competition, but there’s apparently still time to participate in the Singin’ in the Shower contest sponsored by Rheem Tankless and leave your own musical mark on this year’s festival. Continue reading →

City Stages 2007: It begins

Posted on June 15, 2007 | Leave a comment

We’re going to break a cardinal rule of this medium: we’re going to apologize for the lack of information posted on this site in recent days. We have been trying to create an online guide for City Stages that is quite unique.

http://bhamterminal.com/citystages/

It is operational enough for people to begin using it this afternoon. Go on over and pass it on if you can. We wanted to give you something that would let you simply click on a site to hear the artists. We also wanted to encourage dialogue, so if you have a web enabled phone or PDA, you can comment about the band you’re watching or the festival in general. Continue reading →

The Terminal’s mobile CS guide is up!

Posted on June 13, 2007 | Leave a comment

This is for the benefit of those that subscribe to the site’s RSS feed. While it is not finished, a significant portion of our unofficial guide to City Stages is now available for you to look at and critique.

The idea is simple – take advantage of the instant feedback feature of blogs while providing links to many of the scheduled performers’ official websites and MySpace profiles, allowing people to check out some of the bands in a little more depth.

It will also be accessible via mobile devices, meaning that you can comment on a band while standing in the crowd (though you may want to stand off to the side and do that). Continue reading →

Muse of Fire; what more can be said?

Posted on May 18, 2007 | Leave a comment

Considering that everyone has heard (or knows something about) Muse of Fire this weekend over at Sloss Furnaces, I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not sure what else can be said or if there’s any other way to say it. So we’ve decided to just tell it like it is: Continue reading →
