Check out these Florida-based alt rockers as they dish out dreamy surf rock with pop sensibilities in support of their sophomore album Pythons.

Charlottesville should expand the pedestrian-friendly Downtown Mall (the crown jewel of the city) to include The Ix Building (and the valuable land around it) and Belmont Proper, including the dining district featuring Mas Tapas, The Local, Tavola, Belmont BBQ and La Taza.

Eilen Jewell is the queen of the minor key. Sad songs are her wealth and finery. But beware, savvy observer. Do not confuse the singer and her songs.

Her repertoire includes everything from up-tempo rockers that swing, to stunning, lyrically poetic ballads.

She’s mighty good.” Read More
