BHM MTN RADIO PRESENTS: Heartless Bastards / The Fling
Tuesday, March 06, 2012 at 9PM
Heartless Bastards originally formed as a four piece band with members Erika Wennerstrom on vocals, piano and guitar, Dave Colvin on drums, Adam McAllister on bass and Michael Weinel on lead guitar. They played their first live show at The Comet, a bar in the Cincinnati community of Northside, in August 2003. After parting ways with Colvin, McAllister and Weinel, the group reformed as a three piece with Kevin Vaughn on drums and Mike Lamping on bass. The band was signed to Fat Possum Records in 2004 after Patrick Carney from The Black Keys passed along a demo he received from Erika.

Margot & The Nuclear So & So's / Ezra Furman / Writer
Friday, April 20, 2012 at 9PM
Margot & The Nuclear So & Sos' third album, Buzzard, is primal and truculent, going straight for the vitals.
Opener “Birds” finds the band going to places they haven’t before – lovely, languid verses progressing into fuzzed out, howling choruses throughout the song’s twists and turns – while still holding to the guitar-based ethos on which the album is founded. “Lunatic, lunatic, lunatic” may be familiar sonic territory for singer/guitarist Richard Edwards, but the (very) dark humor that slowly unveils is something that he has only flirted with (innocently) in the past. “I Do” refines the evocative chamber-pop for which the band is known to its most heart-rending fundamentals, supported by simply Richards’ plaintive voice and an acoustic guitar.

NPR Music states: "Her songs are heartfelt without being overly earnest; her poetry is plainspoken but not overt, and her elegant voice is wrapped in enough rasp and sorrow to keep from sounding too pure or confident." http://www.sharonvanetten.com/ Doors at 8 / Show at 9 / 18+ / $12

We have a great lineup for this show with the always entertaining Jonny Corndawg and Birmingham's own dose of blues and honky-tonk, The Banditos! $10 / Doors at 8 / Show at 9 / 18+

ST. VINCENT / SHEARWATER
Friday, May 18, 2012 at 9PM
St. Vincent returns to the Bottletree on her immensely critically praised 3rd album, Strange Mercy. The album is an unsparing examination of personal catharsis cloaked in some of the most sublime music of Annie Clark's career.
Over the last two years since she has visited Birmingham, Annie has ridden a wave of tremendous live performances and appearances on Conan and Jimmy Fallon, as well as being featured on the cover of Spin magazine. It goes without saying that our excitement level for this show is off the charts, and we implore you to get your tickets now, because this one will most definitely sellout in advance.
