But Southfield, Michigan-bred producer/singer/songwriter Mike Posner, 21, doesn’t let the hedonistic side of life at Duke University (where he’s currently a senior, majoring in both sociology and business) derail him from his musical dreams. At 13, he started making beats and networking with other musicians via Internet message boards. In January 2009, Posner holed up in his dorm room and wrote, produced and recorded every track on his debut mixtape, A Matter of Time. The mixtape hit the Web in March, sparking a months-long label bidding war, where J Records emerged the victor. Even with all his musical accomplishments, Mike hasn’t abandoned his studies just yet, as evidenced by his hustle during finals week this semester. “Thursday and Friday I performed in Detroit. Saturday I performed at the University of Dayton. I had three finals on Tuesday, a show at Duke Wednesday, did a song with Wale and 9th Wonder Thursday, and Friday I had a meeting with Jay-Z.” While Mike works toward graduation, he is recording a new mixtape slated for a fall release, his debut album, as well as touring every weekend.

SCOTT MILLER Doors Open 7:00pm John Hoeffleur 8:00pm Scott Miller 8:45pm BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() Since his days with the roots-rocking V-Roys, Scott Miller has always had an independent streak that has made him one hard-to-pin-down artist. On his latest album, For Crying Out Loud, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based singer-songwriter is all over the map again stylistically, from Jerry Lee Lewis-style rave-ups to country blues, sweet soul, and a country-folk duet with Patty Griffin, all held together by his engaging blend of smarts and feeling.

STATE RADIO Doors/Bar Open 7:00pm Big D And The Kids Table 7:30pm State Radio 8:30-10:00pm (DJ to follow at 11:00pm) BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() State Radio, is a Boston-based trio who tours relentlessly, bringing their blend of rock infused with reggae/ska influences to sold-out crowds of thousands from New York to Los Angeles. They were hand-picked by Tom Morello to open for Rage Against The Machine at the August 2008 Democratic National Convention. They launched their "Take Back The Country Tour" in support of the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights, and along the way played Bonnaroo, Rothbury and the Mile High Festivals. Not only that, they did service projects in every city they played, from planting trees to protesting in the streets. They penned a song, "State Of Georgia", for Amnesty International's viral campaign to free Georgia death-row inmate Troy Davis. In the midst of all this, State Radio -- Chad Stokes (singer/guitarist), Chuck Fay (bass) and Mike "Mad Dog" Najarian (drums) -- spent time in their home state of Massachusetts with producer Dom Monks to record their third studio album. Released on September 29, 2009. LET IT GO was recorded live to tape, with the intention of combining the trio's penchant for storytelling with their raw and hard-hitting live shows. www.stateradio.com +++ FRIDAY MARCH 12TH... BAND OF HEATHENS Doors/Bar Open 6:00pm The Sugar Prophets 7:00pm Band Of Heathens 8:00-10:00pm (DJ Delayney 10:30pm) BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched SPONSORED BY WWHP "THE WHIP" 98.3FM ![]() The formation of The Band of Heathens is as natural and organic as the music they create. In early spring 2006, the three principle songwriters, Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist, were sharing the bill every Wednesday night at the venerable Austin club Momo's. Originally, it started as each songwriter performing his own set. But in a short time they started sharing the stage equally and collaborating on each other's songs, with bassist Seth Whitney as the anchor of the rhythm section. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club." Largely improvised and unrehearsed, the shows quickly gained in popularity and word spread throughout Austin that if you wanted live music on Wednesday night, Momo's was the place to be. A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." The moniker stuck and soon The Band of Heathens began to cultivate a loyal and growing legion of fans that immediately took to the expert musicianship, the finely-crafted songs and the band's distinct quality of having three front men, each one of whom sings, writes and plays lead guitar. In March 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band and helped fortify their country-soul-rock-and-roll sound. The Band of Heathens were recognized at the 2006/2007 Austin Music Awards as the Best New Band, and have since taken the show on the road, currently touring 200+ dates a year across the country as ambassadors of Austin-American soul. www.bandofheathens.com +++ SATURDAY MARCH 13TH... FEUDIN’ HILLBILLYS Doors Open 7:00pm Feudin’ Hillbillys 8:00-9:15pm Feudin’ Hillbillys 9:45-11:00pm (DJ night to follow 11:30pm) BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() Ryan Ideus (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Derrick Roy (drums) began their journey many years ago as a duo playing shows across the midwest before settling on a weekly residency at Rosebowl Tavern in Urbana. As the years have passed, musicians have come and gone, but it seems as though the current group is here to stay... with Jesse Francis on fiddle and keys, Mark Cowles laying the groove on bass, and Dave Cooper on lead guitar and backing vocals. The music varies greatly at times, from Waylon Jennings and Brooks & Dunn to Justin Timberlake and Eminem... but the fans love it all. www.myspace.com/feudinhillbillys +++ TUESDAY MARCH 16TH... THE TOSSERS Doors Open 8:00pm The Night Brigade 9:00pm The Tossers 10:00pm BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() Although their name may be irreverent, their music certainly is not. The heart of their distinct sound is derived through the melding of traditional Irish and Punk Rock roots. Combining traditional instrumentation of mandolin, fiddle, tin whistle and banjo with amphetamine-fueled guitar, bass and drums, the Tossers play with a furious edge that teeters between rage and raucousness. With over 15 years of the music grind behind them, the Tossers are a staple in the Celtic Punk and Folk scenes. Currently the band has six full-length albums, the newest of which is "On A Fine Spring Evening" their third release on Victory Records. While their live shows are fueled with a little bit of blood and sweat and a whole lot of whiskey and beer, their albums are dedicated to musical elegance and provocation. Possessing the ability to masterfully employ stark tempo changes from the brink of the insane to the solemness of an Irish ballad, the Tossers are an act that does not disappoint in print or in person. www.thetossers.com +++ TUESDAY MARCH 30TH... ST. VINCENT Doors Open 8:00pm Elsinore 9:00pm St. Vincent 10:00pm BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() Marry Me established Annie Clark as a coolly confident visionary. Actor, the second album from St. Vincent, is where that vision congeals into formidable shape. From Technicolor film scores to abrasive art-rock, Clark takes us to her version of Oz, over the rainbow and out the other side, where swelling strings mingle with jagged but precise guitar leads, and splendor gives way to dark menace with nary a warning. In fact, so fully realized is the sound of St. Vincent that it's sometimes too easy to overlook Clark's quirky and slightly uneasy character studies. At the same time, her deceptively unaffected but still upfront persona takes the focus away from her inimitable off-kilter arrangements and inventive musicianship. In other words, it's a bundle of contradictions unlike many others, so nearly sui generis that it's impossible to guess where she'll go next, other than even further up, up, and away.

JAPANDROIDS Doors Open 7:00pm Love Is All 8:00pm Japandroids 9:00pm BUY TICKETS>>> www.ticketfusion.com/store/one/index.html?store_id=2153&cid=&page_type=sched ![]() Japandroids (aka JPNDRDS) is a 2-piece band from Vancouver, BC. This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a 'lead singer' and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids are 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band. Supporting Japandroids gets you into Heaven - no questions asked. KISS OFF. www.myspace.com/japandroids +++ MONDAYS... 80'S NIGHT WITH DJ MINGRAM ![]() |
