Last night marked the last show for one of Tulsa’s longest living bands, Wighead. Founding member Chris Rusk is moving to
New York City, and leaving his band of quirky musical miscreants behind. Rusk and band co-founder Evan Inman-Butts started Wighead when they were 14 years old. By my estimates thats about 11 years of rock’n’rolling…

Not all of us have the glamorous life of a rock star. We can’t just jaunt down to Austin for a week to take part in the awesome-ness that is SXSW. But, fear not, poor music fan! There is a silver lining. This weekend in Norman (about 2 hours from Tulsa, and home to OU)…

Any band that generates their name from a Napoleon Bonaparte quote, like this one, “Between a battle lost and a battle won, the distance is immense and there stand empires,” automatically requires a listen in my book. I have seen this band on a few bills since the fall, and my curiosity peaked when I…

It is Valentine’s day, and before you singles start moaning, think of it more as a day to celebrate love in general, even if you don’t have someone in your life. You can love a lot of things, and if you read this blog, you probably love music! I’ve scoured our local music-scape to find…

Today I want to celebrate the ladies. It IS Valentine’s weekend after all!
If you’re looking for a romantic trip to Swoonsville check out Leah Hugon tonight at Ida Red. (3336 S. Peoria Ave.) 7pm.
With vocals akin to Neko Case, soulful and deep, Leah’s music is decadent. Acoustic guitars accompany the gentle but sure siren. On…

Wighead’s new release, due out in a few weeks, is a refreshing and fun new direction for the band. It’s safe to say that Wighead has matured over the past few years, and Frontage is great evidence of that. The band members are seasoned veterans of the Tulsa music scene, having weathered many incarnations, but…

The malls are closing in, and its getting harder and harder to find local businesses that deliver good customer service and competitive inventory. The one thing we can do to support our town, and develop our own identity is to think local first.

Last night Bearhug and Mount Righteous packed Soundpony to its gills. To illustrate this point, there were people sitting on the bar, people looking in through the windows, and even crowd-surfing!
The crowd was more thinned out when Bearhug went on, but they certainly amplified the energy level of the audience. With song titles like “Get…
