Music Rodfest is held each year to support the Greg "Rodney" Moynahan Memorial Scholarship. Moynahan, a musician who used to host "Rodfests" to celebrate his birthday, died in a car crash in 2004. Kier Byrnes, Moynahan's cousin and a member of Three Day Threshold, has continued the "Rodfest" tradition, and the money goes to Moynahan's alma mater, Stonehill College. Bands this year include Three Day Threshold, Girls Guns & Glory, Rogue Heroes, Cassavetes, and the......

This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs. But naming your kid Wrigley Fields? At least they can breathe a little easier now that Grossman's out and......

With visions of sugar plum fairies dancing through their heads, the -Ists began to get into that holiday mood. Well, some did. Austinist wasn't as the NY Times dissed them and a local Tex-Mex institution sold out. Making them feel better was music, sweet music and the local theater getting name checked on "Heroes" Chicagoist tried to wrap their heads around a religious movie being banned from a Christmas themed park.

Throw down a couple of bucks this week and dance, sweat, and otherwise work off that weight as you listen to some great tunes – played live – around Boston this week. Tuesday 5/30 Lifestyle with What Time is It Mr. Fox, and The......

The name of label's "mini festival" was not so much a serious definitional challenge as an acknowledgment that much of ropeadope's genre-bending music -- while......

This week we've collected a number of selections that will bring some sunshine to your gloomy day - or......

For the uninitiated, Kaiju Big Battel is a wrestling league of sorts, in which competitors dressed as imagined Japanese B-movie monsters compete in miniature cityscapes - sort of a live interpretation of Mechagodzilla vs. Godzilla. There is, naturally, an extensive and amusing back story to explain this silliness, involving (of course) a galactic battle between good and evil. Apparently, the evil Dr. Cube and his posse (the "Rogues") are now taking the quest for......
