<p>With a Top Ten album debut, a Top Ten radio single and a run of sold-out club shows, singer/songwriter <strong>Brett Dennen</strong> announces plans for a Hope For The Hopeless headlining tour that will stretch from January 2009 into the spring (see dates below).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EN46AW?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bandweblogs-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B001EN46AW" target="_blank">Hope for the Hopeless</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=bandweblogs-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001EN46AW" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> on amazon.com</strong></p>
<p>The tour will hit major venues across the country including two nights in Brett&#8217;s hometown of San Francisco (The Fillmore) and two nights in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles (House of Blues LA). Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 22, 2008.</p>
<p>Brett Dennen&#8217;s <strong>&#8216;Hope For The Hopeless&#8217;</strong> debuted as the #4 Independent Album, the #6 Digital Album and entered at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart. The first single, <strong>&#8220;<a href="http://bandweblogs.com/blog/2008/10/03/brett-dennen-free-make-you-crazy-mp3-watch-video/" target="_blank">Make You Crazy</a>,&#8221;</strong> is a Top Ten hit at tastemaker AAA stations across the country and features Nigerian Afro-beat legend, <strong><a title="Femi Kuti" href="http://www.wrasserecords.com/Femi_Kuti_10/biography.html" target="_blank">Femi Kuti</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Brett will perform &#8220;Make You Crazy&#8221; on &#8220;<strong><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/" target="_blank">Good Morning America Weekend</a></strong>&#8221; November 15.

<p><span id="more-2459"></span><strong>Rolling Stone</strong> named Dennen one of their &#8220;Artists to Watch in 2008&#8243; and said &#8220;his third disc suggests he may soon give Dave Matthews a run for his tour grosses.&#8221; John Mayer, Michael Franti and Jason Mraz are outspoken advocates for Brett. His songs have been featured in episodes of <strong>&#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy,&#8221; &#8220;Scrubs&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;House&#8221;</strong> among others. <strong>NPR, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today</strong>, and <strong>The Washington Post</strong> are among the publications that have spotlighted his narrative-rich lyrics and distinctive voice.</p>

Consisting of 3 childhood friends(Cory Howard, Scottie Feider and Jeremy Luvaas), the trio released their debut album, Illustrate My Character, several months ago and it's full of a great mix of rock, soul, R&amp;B and a few other sounds that have tagged this band as having a very unique sound. The band is currently touring out west with </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/flight409" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Flight 409</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> and </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/goodnightsunrise" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Goodnight Sunrise</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"> (damn, I bet that's a killer show).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">mp3: </span><a href="http://create49.com/music/Shameless.mp3"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Shameless</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : </span><a href="http://create49.com/music/Miss_Vanity.mp3"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Miss Vanity</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"><br />The Let Up: </span><a href="http://theletup.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Website</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> (under construction) : </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/theletup" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">MySpace</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : Buy </span><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=ZaSYGd4HUS1OgA-DztrfHIIMHnpynMEJ4-T92L7GbB8AvFaTTykSo7jM47i&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f38432c9462fe7313791b4c12e10393700300c8820f2d2c73" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Illustrate My Character</span></a><br /><p align="center">◊ ◊ ◊ ◊</p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Four Texan dudes called Honey Claws have come into the fiesta and they’re bringin’ the future with them. A mostly electronic, mostly funky, 14-track hip-hop epic, Honey Claws’ self-titled debut album is a pulsing, cursing, spitting, raving, fun-loving, literate, club-killing record bound to please the masses.<br /><br />Multi-instrumentalists Dr. Zero, Ben Senior, Jon Von Letscher, and Traey Hatch went down in the lab with a pen and a pad (in Austin and Houston, respectively) and came out six months later with something very special. Absent in their debut is any sense of confirmed or confined genre, but at the same time it's a fully realized sound, part mad scientist hip-hop experiment, part soulful psychedelic wall of sound.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">mp3: </span><a href="http://create49.com/music/Shoutout.mp3"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Shoutout</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"><br />Honey Claws: </span><a href="http://www.honeyclaws.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Website</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/honeyclaws" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">MySpace</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : Digital download available through </span><a href="http://www.apple.com/search/ipoditunes/?q=honey+claws" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">iTunes</span></a><br /><p align="center">◊ ◊ ◊ ◊</p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Last month, Danish noiseniks The Raveonettes announced a string of digital-only releases for the home stretch of 2008. The series continues with the release of Black White from Beauty Dies, which further cultivates the Rave’s signature guitar-led noir rock sound. The series will conclude next month with a Holiday short-player, modernizing the band’s favorite Christmas songs. I've not heard much of this band's work, but what I've heard I really like, especially the psychedelic melodies .<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">mp3: </span><a href="http://create49.com/music/Black_White.mp3"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Black White</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"><br />The Raveonettes: </span><a href="http://www.theraveonettes.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Website</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/theraveonettes" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">MySpace</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;"> : Buy </span><a href="http://www.store.limewire.com/store/app/pages/album/Album/productId/103566/;jsessionid=0D5887A9CE331F28AC7E0A6BFFF2BCDC" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:78%;">Beauty Dies</span></a><br /><p align="center">◊ ◊ ◊ ◊</p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Seattle's Feral Children is a techno trance band, or maybe it's experimental indie rock, or even a bit primal. Taking a page from Modest Mouse, Bill Cole, Jim Cotton, Josh Gamble, Jeff Keenan and Sergey Posrednikov have created a musical mix of organized calamity that will only appeal to you if you are paying close attention to it. That's not meant as a swipe at the band, it's meant to be nothing more than a bit of advice that you'll miss the complexity of the music if you don't really get into their work because it possesses so many multi-genre ingredients. They've recently released their debut album, Second To The last Frontier, produced by Arcade Fire's Scott Colburn. In addition to the posted track, you can get a couple of additional free tracks from the album </span><a href="http://sarathan.com/free/feralchildren_ep/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:georgia;">here</span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;">.

I've written about Matt Nathanson <a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://mainstreamisntsobad.blogspot.com/2007/08/mad-about-matt-nathanson.html">last year</a>, Jessie Baylin this year <a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://mainstreamisntsobad.blogspot.com/2008/06/jessie-baylin.html">earlier in the summer</a>, and now it's about time I give some print time to The Break and Repair Method.<br /><br />The band is the side project of <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Matchbox Twenty's Paul Doucette</span> and creates music that Paul dubs "pop depression." The album revolves around piano melodies whose upbeat sounds mask gritty vocals. Pair up Paul's piano with Jessie's guitar and Matt's insanely funny banter and you've got a killer evening of entertainment.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QRzxifkj_bk/SPtaSFdiUpI/AAAAAAAAC68/qfUbNOfPIjw/s1600-h/milk_the_bee_cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QRzxifkj_bk/SPtaSFdiUpI/AAAAAAAAC68/qfUbNOfPIjw/s200/milk_the_bee_cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258896256635392658" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.snapdrive.net/files/306655/1-02%20You%20Won%27t%20be%20Able%20to%20be%20Sad.mp3">The Break and Repair Method - You Won't Be Able to Be Sad</a>  : <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.amazon.com/Milk-Bee-Break-Repair-Method/dp/B001DSNFVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;qid=1224431998&amp;sr=8-1">milk the bee</a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.snapdrive.net/files/306655/1-06%20Life%20Gets%20Beatiful.mp3">The Break and Repair Method - Life Gets Beautiful</a>  : <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.amazon.com/Milk-Bee-Break-Repair-Method/dp/B001DSNFVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;qid=1224431998&amp;sr=8-1">milk the bee</a><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">Visit their <a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://thebreakandrepairmethod.com/">website</a>, their label <a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.bluhammock.com/ha/index.php">Bluhammock Music</a>, and become their friend on <a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://myspace.com/thebreakandrepairmethod">MySpace</a>.</span><br /><br />-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /></div><br /><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.snapdrive.net/files/306655/nathanson2006-10-27d1t09_vbr.mp3">Matt Nathanson - Princess > Jessie's Girl (Rick Springfield cover) > Princess</a>  : <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.archive.org/details/nathanson2006-10-27.4015tl.gr.722.flac16">Live at Irving Plaza 10-27-06<br /></a><br /><a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://www.snapdrive.net/files/306655/12%20Want.mp3">Jessie Baylin - Want</a>  : <a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.amazon.com/Firesight-Jessie-Baylin/dp/B00166V704/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=music&amp;qid=1224463293&amp;sr=8-1">Firesight<br /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Upcoming Tour Dates</span></span><br /></div><br />OPENING FOR MATT NATHANSON (w/Jessie Baylin)<br />November 1 – San Francisco CA (Warfield)<br />November 4 – Spokane WA (Knitting Factory)<br />November 7 – Boise ID (Knitting Factory)<br />November 8 – Salt Lake City UT (Avalon)<br />November 10 – Denver CO (Bluebird Theater)<br />November 11 – Boulder CO (Fox Theater)<br />November 13 – St. Louis MO (Pop’s)<br />November 14 – Lawrence KS (Bottleneck)<br />November 15 – Omaha NE (Slowdown)<br />November 16 – Des Moines IA (People’s Court)<br />November 18 – Minneapolis MN (Pantages Theater)<br />November 19 – Madison WI (The Majestic)<br />November 20 – Chicago IL (House Of Blues)]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://tunes.ickmusic.com/pics/MrazRadioCity.jpg" alt="Mamma Mia, That'sa Spicy Mraz!" width="600" height="280" /></p>
<p>Despite listening to him since his days at Java Joes, Friday night was my first experience seeing <strong>Jason Mraz</strong> live. I was not alone in my first experience as it was Mr. A-Z&#8217;s first show at the legendary Radio City Music Hall, a that fact did not seem lost on him as he pulled out all the stops for what was one of the most entertaining and memorable shows I&#8217;ve attended in the last few years.</p>
<p>The evening started with Irish chanteuse <strong>Lisa Hannigan</strong>. I was really only familiar with her in the context of her work with Damien Rice and really enjoyed her solo set. With a 4 piece band of multi-instrumentalists to back her up, she performed a selection from her debut <em>Sea Sew</em>. &#8220;An Ocean and a Rock&#8221; was simply beautiful and captivating. &#8220;Lille&#8221; was delicate and lovely, which seems to be the essence of Miss Hannigan. I will definitely be picking up the record based on this performance.</p>
<p>After a brief intermission it was time for Mraz. The night started with the full 7 piece band taking the stage for &#8220;Make it Mine&#8221; the lead track from his latest release <em>We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things</em>. Wasting no time, the band segued directly into a fresh (and lively) take on Mraz&#8217;s first hit &#8220;The Remedy&#8221;. This was the first of many times that the crowd would fill the hallowed hall with their voices in unison with Jason and he wasted no time in using it to his musical devices and creating a live mash up with the ladies singing the chorus and the boys (what few were in attendance) layering <strong>Oasis</strong>&#8217;s hit &#8220;Wonderwall&#8221; over top to great effect.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><!-- start insertion by YouTube Brackets, robertbuzink.nl --><span class="youtube"><object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/06mlJ0ubNLM"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/06mlJ0ubNLM" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></span><!-- end Youtube Brackets insertion --><br />
<strong>Jason Mraz</strong> - The Remedy (Video)</p>
<p>The band slowly began to recede during &#8220;If It Kills Me&#8221; and a quiet &#8220;You &amp; I Both&#8221; and whittled down to the core trio of <strong>Ian Sheridan</strong>, <strong>Toca Rivera</strong> and Mraz for the stark and utterly heartbreaking &#8220;A Beautiful Mess&#8221;. Sheridan even broke out the stand up bass for the occasion bringing to mind the small club feel and making this one of the moments that Jason managed to make Radio City seem like an intimate club for five minutes. This feel continued with the simple and lovely &#8220;Life Is Wonderful&#8221;.</p>
<p>The rest of the band returned as well as four additional microphones as the back drop took on a decidedly religious slant. It was clear that it was time to go to church! &#8220;Live High&#8221; came to a grand crescendo with the <strong>Broadway Inspirational Voices</strong> choir joining in to bring the house down. The choir stayed on for an uplifting rendition of &#8220;Oh! Happy Day&#8221;. I should mention here that over the band, the crowd, and the choir Jason maintained a presence and a quality of voice that was astounding.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dynamo of Volition&#8221; brought the crowd to it&#8217;s feet for some well choreographed dance moves. It&#8217;s interesting to see 5,000 happy fools raising the roof in unison at Radio City. The crowd stayed on its feet for the remainder of the show as Jason kicked into &#8220;I&#8217;m Yours&#8221; to a crowd ready to make a joyful sound. I&#8217;ll let the video do the talking on this one.

<strong>Jason Mraz</strong> - I&#8217;m Yours / Three Little Birds (feat. Broadway Inspirational Voices) (Video)</p>
<p>After and incredibly short encore break Mraz brought Lisa Hannigan back out to play Colbie Caillat&#8217;s part in the duet &#8220;Lucky&#8221; and from there it was non-stop from the rave up of  &#8221;Build Me Up, Buttercup&#8221; to the  beautiful finale of  &#8221;Song for a Friend&#8221; the significance of how grand a night it was long on nobody in the room. This was a perfect cap to the concert season and for my wife and I a beautiful way to celebrate our first year of marriage.</p>
