The Mountain Goats @ KUT 12/5/12

December 4, 2012 9:37 am by: Reid O'Conor

The Mountain Goats
Durham, NC based band The Mountain Goats has been a force in the folk rock genre for the more than 20 years that they've been active. The driving force behind the band has always been Josh Darnielle, with a constantly evolving roster of musicians playing alongside him. In the early days, The Mountain Goats were known for their rogue recording methods, mostly born out of necessity. If a song wasn't recorded fast enough, in whatever means were available (often boomboxes, straight to cassette), it would be forgotten. These days, their methods are more traditional, but their approach to songwriting is just as relentless. On Wednesday, The Mountain Goats will play a show at Emo's East. While they're in town, the band will stop by Studio 1a to record a live session. You can here the result of that visit RIGHT HERE!...

Lower Dens @ KUT 6/26/12

Lower Dens are weird. There are aspects of shoegaze and psych-rock in their sound for sure, but there's much more there besides. Between the slow, dreamy guitars and singer Jana Hunter's understated (but beautiful) voice, they create songs that are somehow both simple and intricate....

Loudon Wainwright III @ KUT 6/25/12

Although it's a gem of a song, it's a shame that Loudon Wainwright III is best known for his novelty song "Dead Skunk (in the Middle of the Road)," since he has such an impressive repertoire besides. Differing from self-effacing humor to touching and deeply personal, Wainwright's songwriting...
