Band Spotlight: A Caesar Holiday

By Danielle Look • Oct 13th, 2009 • Category: Indianapolis

This artist spotlight is part of a special ZapTown series in correlation with the 2009 Broad Ripple Music Fest.
A Caesar Holiday is not for the faint of heart. Their focus is on instrumentals, rather than vocals and lyrics. Their music is dark and emotional, yet full of life. The band will be performing at Luna (52nd & College) for the BRMF.

The Walkmen at The Vogue, October 5, 2009 (Concert Review)

By Danielle Look • Oct 8th, 2009 • Category: Categories, Live Show Reviews and Recaps

The Walkmen have found the perfect balance between serene folk and lively rock. At times, one could only stand and admire the musicianship as strings were plucked, drums were stricken, and keys were pushed. At other times, it was easy to unknowingly be swept away by a song’s velocity and find oneself rocking and bobbing to the music.

Mucca Pazza at The Vollrath (Concert Review)

By Danielle Look • Aug 31st, 2009 • Category: Categories, Live Show Reviews and Recaps

Whimsical chaos is Mucca Pazza’s hallmark and nobody does it better than them. Demonstrating the atypical nature of the band, they covered everything from 60’s television show themes, rearranged rock tunes, and original compositions to Balkan brass, Czech folk songs, and the works of classical composers. Multiple times I felt something brush against my ankle, only to find a trumpeter laying on the ground… still playing his instrument.
