- Both Jam on the River and Summer Camp seem to have gone off without any major hitches this weekend in Philadelphia and Chillicothe respectively. You can check out videos and reviews from Summer Camp over at the Peoria Journal Star’s website, while Brooklyn Vegan shares a full page of amazing photos from Jam on the River.
- The Fab Faux will celebrate their 10th Anniversary together with a special concert at Radio City Music Hall on September 20. With Conan O’Brien taking Jimmy Vivino out west for the Tonight Show we’re afraid Fab Faux gigs will become extremely rare, so be sure to catch ‘em while ya can.
- Keyboardist Butch Taylor quit the Dave Matthews Band just three days before the start of their Summer Tour. The band announced the news on their website without divulging any details on Taylor’s sudden departure.

From the Summercamp review: “When (The New Pornographers) started playing the crowd was sparse at best. Definitely fewer than 100 people. It happens when 10,000 people are watching moe. across the park. “Holy (cow),” said frontman AC Newman. “I can’t believe we got this many people.”
Jiminy Christmas, people. Would it kill the wooks to try a little something different like going to see the NPs? We’re talkin’ about moe. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that they probably played Timmy Tucker and/or Brent Black and/or Moth. Again.
the comments about the biscuits on brooklynvegan are both predictable and hilarious.
You have to admit that the show Saturday late was garbage. My buddy called it out as elevator biscuits and I have to agree. zzzzzz.
