What a weekend for music in Birmingham

Posted on July 22, 2008 | Leave a comment

We’re hoping that you’ll be able to come and support us at The Terminal Concert on Saturday night at The Bottletree. If you don’t come out though, there’s no excuse for not finding yourself enjoying some incredible performances throughout the Magic City that evening. I’ll get into that statement more on Thursday over on my Birmingham. Today over on Timetable, we’ve started to provide some information on all of your options.

We’ve got a review of WIld Sweet Orange’s latest CD (their release party is Saturday), a quick look at Sorry Saints, performing as part of our show Saturday, and the schedule for this weekend’s Function at the Junction in Ensley.

So yeah, we’re pretty much daring you to say there’s nothing to do…

Where to turn for weekend ideas…

Posted on June 20, 2008 | Leave a comment

Starting to wonder what there might be to do this weekend? Christina was too. That’s until she talked to Charles and got the lowdown. Of course, she’s going to share it with you over on the Timetable.

BTW – yes, it’s true that Sam no longer writes for The Terminal. We had hoped he’d write a going away piece for us, but you’re still able to read his picks over on his music blog, r3vrb.com. This of course means that we’d love to find someone to take his place and someone who may be interested in reviewing new music as well. Let us know if you’re interested using any of the methods found on our contact page.

Folks that have been driving into downtown for work or play anytime in the last couple of weeks may have noticed a new sign hanging a couple of doors down from Urban Standard along 2nd Avenue North. It appears to be a new music venue preparing to open downtown called Rogue – one of many projects that seem to be taking place throughout the city center. It’s promising nightly entertainment, Cajun-inspired food and a full bar. We’ll see if we can’t get some more info in the near future for you.

We’ve got two more passes…

Posted on June 12, 2008 | Leave a comment

In case you’re wondering, we’ve already posted the names of the winners of the eight weekend passes we’ve been giving away for  City Stages on the contest page. We’d like to take a moment and thank everyone who entered (and there were a lot of you) – and now we’d like to say that we still have two passes left to give away…

We were thinking of the most fair way to give these two passes away while seeing folks show their love for the music festival (as well as for us)… and we’ve settled on giving them away separately. Here’s the catch, we’ve got to see you tomorrow (Friday) at lunchtime over at Java and Jams (321 20th Street North).

So, about those City Stages tickets…

Posted on May 27, 2008 | Leave a comment

When we last left our friendly neighborhood blog for the holiday weekend, we teased you about giving away tickets to City Stages 20 this week(we also teased about our upcoming concert in July, but more on that later on)…

Despite some delays this morning, we’re now happy to finally invite you to enter our latest contest! We’re giving away two (2) sets of weekend passes to the music festival each week for the next two weeks.

So don’t just sit there, enter for a chance to win (and tell your friends too).

Remixing the classics, Scrollworks style

Posted on April 25, 2008 | 2 comments

Scrollworks logoEarlier this week, Scrollworks and the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra (MYO) announced a remix contest. For those not familiar with the concept, you’ll want to check out the details on their blog. You get to rework a recording of the MYO in concert performing Paganini’s “Moses Variations” with Michael Fernandez, principal violist of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.

Why should you be interested in this? Because you have a chance to win $250, that’s why! That and it means that you’ll want to go to the MYO’s concert at the Carver Theatre on May 11 to find out who wins. You may also want to take a moment and learn more about this incredible project taking place in The Magic City…
