Monday Morning Video – Stonehoney

Monday, May 16, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

Here’s a sorta long lost classic. Stonehoney got their start in L.A., a group of singer-songwriters who met at a song swap who soon realized that their collective sound was quite special. They moved en mass to Austin, Texas and released a single album — The Cedar Creek Sessions — before disbanding. ‘Tis a shame […]

Mayer’s Picks: Best Songs of 2010, Pt. 2

Tuesday, December 28, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

As Long As You Don’t Come Back, Justin Currie (from the Rykodisc Records release The Great War) Set aside a lyric that we all wish we had, or perhaps actually did, say at one point or another. What I most appreciate about this song is the unassuming, even playful, melody that accompanies the lyrical punch. […]

Mayer’s Picks: Best Albums of 2010 Video Companion

Monday, December 27, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

I gotta say, I’m really impressed with the videos that I found to accompany my Best of 2010 playlist. Things kick off with a Peter Wolf and Shelby Lynne rehearsing their duet on “Tragedy” from Wolf’s incredible release. The performance is so powerful it defies description. Next up is Joe Pug demonstrating his captivating showmanship […]

Mayer’s Picks: Best Albums of 2010

Tuesday, December 21, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

#1. JOE PUG, Messenger (Lightning Rod) Pug may only be in his mid 20’s, but his songs reflect a timeless musical wisdom. A folk troubadour in the truest sense, he is equally skilled tackling social and political topics as he is at exploring the politics of romance. A powerful new musical voice has emerged. (Twangville […]

Listen Up: Stonehoney

Monday, July 19, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

“Just us doing our Stonehoney thing,” is how this Austin quartet describes their latest release. Recorded live in the studio – with no overdubs or studio magic – the album bristles with an energy and authenticity that is truly refreshing. Each of the four singer-songwriters has a distinct character yet together they create a singular […]

Stonehoney Live @ Q Division Studios

Friday, January 08, 2010 By Mayer Danzig

So the boys from Stonehoney stopped by Q Division Studios in Somerville Massachusetts for an in-studio performance. Of course, the boys made one mistake. They neglected to invite me to what looks like a heck of a party, fueled by beer from the Naragansett Brewing Company and bbq from legendary local joint Redbones. Next time, […]

SXSW 2008: The Sounds Part 1

Monday, April 21, 2008 By Mayer Danzig

X Legendary Los Angeles punk band X authoritatively declared that they could still rock hard after 31 years together. I caught them twice and the band pounded through both shows without a set list. The band merely called out out songs that captured their mood and responded to audience requests. Their influence on modern rock […]
