Even more hip bands playing in Indy! HOT HOT Heat

by Brian Wyrick | Filed under Indianapolis and Shows at 9:24 pm | Add a comment »

Looks like Hot Hot Heat will be warming up the crowd before Snow Patrol brings the cool this summer at Indianapolis’ outdoor venue, The Lawn. This should be a very good show. I gave the most recent Snow Patrol record a few listens a few weeks ago, and it prompted to me to realize that [...]

When I moved to Indianapolis in 2003, I remember some friends of mine driving to Bloomington to see a touring band from New York called Interpol. I missed out on that one… really missed out. I have since issed other chances to see them, but I may finally get my chance… again. While I [...]

I have more Joost invites, now that is open, I have unlimited invites. Let me know if you are still looking for one. Also, I am thinking pretty hard about shutting this blog down and doing all of my posting at http://rockitbomb.com/author/brian/. I started both blogs at the same time, but I don’t want the [...]

New Site Design

by Brian Wyrick | Filed under Site Updates at 10:02 pm | 1 comment »

Unless you are reading this through an RSS reader, you’ll have noticed a new site design. I originally launched this site in one night, and quickly switched to the “RadMod” theme found on wordpress.org.
I have since heavily modified it to suit my purposes. Hopefully this will make the site more fun and easy to get [...]

Ryan Lipynsky Interview

by Carl | Filed under Indianapolis and Interviews and Music at 9:26 am | 2 comments »

Unearthly Trance has been an entity that I have been stunned by since a friend recommended their ‘Season of Seance…’ LP and I heard their demo material. Each release since their inception has been a focused and genius ball of piss and molten lava. In 2006 the band released their third full-length epic entitled ‘The [...]

Episode 001 - Interview with Rahim by Thin Fevers (the podcast finally begins!)

by Brian Wyrick | Filed under Interviews and Music and Podcasts and Video at 9:38 pm | Add a comment »

Finally, the first episode of the Rockitbomb.com podcast. I know the graphics are kind of ghetto, but I am tired and this interview is over a month old. It is still pretty good I think, or at least entertaining.
Thin Fevers played a show with New York’s Rahim on March 19th of this year at [...]

Just a quick post to call attention to some recent updates. I made some design changes today, and will be implementing some more. I was actually able to pull myself away from my 2 week old Nintendo Wii to work on the site a little.

Do Not Postpone Happiness.

by cara | Filed under Music at 9:20 pm | Add a comment »

I’m listening to Wilco’s webcast from their Sydney, Australia show.
You can catch it on their website, http://www.wilcoworld.net.
Listening to this brings back to me the time I saw Wilco right after the 2004 elections, while visiting a friend in Colorado.
Everyone was pissed & depressed that Bush got back into the White House. You could feel [...]

Cara’s Dream Comes True

by cara | Filed under Music at 9:01 pm | Add a comment »

All I’ve ever dreamt of, since being a wee girl, is this:
Seeing Bjork in an Opera House.
Far-fetched, I know. But, believe it or not, I’ll be sitting, Row Q, right behind the post holding up the balcony, next Saturday, May 12th, at Auditorium Theatre, in Chicago, waiting for Bjork to come on stage. [...]

Bjork & The Hype Machine

Have any of you ever heard of www.hypem.com?
It’s basically, your standard “clearinghouse” setup of all mp3 & music review blogs in the tri-state region. (what?!)
1. Go there, 2. type in the name of the band you’re interested in listening to, 3. bask in the glow of all currently posted songs by said artist to mp3 [...]
