Charlie Parr

Thursday, Feb. 23, 2006

Where do you go for genuine deep-south Piedmont-style blues in this day and age? Well, it should go without saying that you go to Duluth, Minnesota. And when you get to Duluth, you look up Charlie Parr at one of his weekly hometown gigs. Or maybe you can catch him on the road. Or you homebodies can click on the links below and prepare to have your porch swing blown off its hinges via the world wide internets. Whichever method you choose, you'll be caught in a foot-stomping frenzy as soon as his fingers touch the strings.

Roman Numerals

Thursday, Feb. 16, 2006

We know from countless after-school specials that when jokes go too far, people get hurt. When jokes go just far enough, we get Roman Numerals. Started as a Joy Division tribute band, Roman Numerals has long since grown into full-time purveyors of original upbeat darkness. Add to that the fact that two members recently opened the Record Bar, the hottest musician-friendly spot for live music in Kansas City, and you've got one-stop shopping for ROCK.

Anthrax

Thursday, Feb. 2, 2006

What can we really say about Anthrax? Long before they created rap-metal with songs like "I'm the Man" and "Bring the Noise," the men of the 'thrax were some of the preeminent shredders of the late twentieth century. This episode of the Turnpike shows the band back in it's original lineup, and they're still bringing the noise. So get in the pit.

The Detroit Cobras

Once again, the Turnpike crew supplies you with everything you need to attain realization and legitimacy through rock. Don't squander this precious resource. Ladies and gentlemen, The Detroit Cobras.

Rose Hill Drive

Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005

Rose Hill Drive just want to rock. That's about all there is to say about that, except that they may finally enable you to reconcile your love of classic rock with your hatred of classic rock radio. But whether or not you're happy with the ridiculous lack of variety corporate radio allows you to hear (Yes, Virginia, Bad Company wrote more than two songs), you're still going to love Rose Hill Drive and their instantly familiar-feeling brand of gut-pounding grooves.

Wakarusa Festival 2005

Thursday, July 14, 2005

The 2005 Wakarusa Fest had more of everything — more beer, more stages, more bands. . . and definitely more heat. The only horrific mishap to put a damper on the festivities was the conspicuous lack of fried Twinkies, but you can't pull off an event of this magnitude without some sort of catastrophe. Tune in to The Turnpike podcast for another dose (hee hee) of homegrown (ho ho) festival goodness. Thanks again to the kind (oh, just stop it) organizers of this year's best summer event. This podcast includes music from John Butler Trio, Ozomatli, String Cheese Incident, ALO, Umphrey's McGee, Old Crow Medicine Show, Matisyahu, Calexico, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, The Gourds, and Jeff & Vida.

Drive-By Truckers

Thursday, June 9, 2005

The Turnpike humbly presents perhaps the greatest touring rock band currently in existence. If you disagree, I'd keep it to yourself. Just sit back, enjoy some tasty bbq, and, in the words of the mighty DBT, "Shut your mouth and play along."
