City Stages unveils online schedule, new acts

We haven’t done much digging through City Stages‘ new online calendar – yet – but considering that they’re using sched.org to maintain it, it is bound to be a useful tool for folks planning to attend this year’s edition of the music festival held in Birmingham’s city center. You’ll be able to send the schedule to your phone, subscribe to a calendar ICS feed and even merge schedules so you know where your friends are headed.

They’ve also added a new act to the lineup – local favorite Wild Sweet Orange will now be gracing The Discovery Stage on Friday evening, June 19 starting at 9 p.m., serving at the opening act for Plain White T’s. There’s no mention of the headliner’s appearance on their site, but it wouldn’t be a surprise either…

Jane’s Addiction is not included in the listings, nor is their performance listed on their upcoming tour dates. There is word though that Perry Farrell injured (actually tore) his calf muscle Sunday while performing in Atlanta’s Lakewood Amphitheatre. He’s still planning on performing tonight in Austin, TX.

Four bands representing the ‘Ham at SxSW

The list of bands performing at this year’s edition of SxSW continues to grow, and so far the state of Alabama looks like it’s being represented quite nicely. Seven acts will grace venues in Austin, with four (that’s right – four!) of them calling Birmingham home. Here’s the lineup as it stands right now:

Get Wild Sweet Orange on MTVu

It’s quite simple actually – and thanks to the folks at Reg’s Coffee House for making us aware of it…

Wild Sweet Orange has one of the five videos up for The Freshman spot on MTVu this week. So get on over there and cast your vote – NOW (or at least before noon on Friday!) – to influence whether one of your favorite local bands gets that much more national exposure, courtesy of MTVu.

It’s Wild Sweet Orange’s time

Wild Sweet Orange‘s new album We Have Cause to Be Uneasy is being released within a matter of days, and The Terminal was lucky enough to receive an advance copy. The strange thing is, I think I’ve already heard this before; let me explain.

The first track is an updated version of their much-touted single Ten Dead Dogs. But as I moved on to the newer tracks, my mind started to race.
