The Rodent Hour – Details, episodes & analysis

InCircles are an alternative high energy rock n roll trio from the Bronx and Long Island, NY. The band is comprised of Jewlee (vocals, guitar), Oscar (drums) and Matt (bass). Don't just take my word for it! Here's a review by someone who saw them play live. "We came across InCircles today as they were setting up in Tompkins Square Park. What a band. Passionate, driving energy, consummate skill -- this band is super talented, super tight, and plays with total command. Excellent!"

Great time hanging with Barbara in the RFB studio. "Dirty Power" is definitely an album that you need to make room for in your collection. Great songs with great lyrics that's all entirely relatable. "Barbara Endes writes and sings these melodic bursts of punchy roots-punk-surf-rockabilly complete with vocal harmonies, the bluesy guitar of David Weiss, and the skin tight rhythm section of bassist Dave Mandl (yeah, the guy on WFMU) and drummer Nancy Polstein... I keep looking for new rock bands to like with little or no success. I think I found one." -  Aquarian Weekly Artist name | Song name Girls On Grass | Because Capitalism Volk | Hat & Boots Girls On Grass | Friday Night Studebaker Huck | Bitter Heart Tall Days | Hey There Man The Narrowbacks | On The Radio Girls On Grass | Down at the Bottom The Hooten Hallers | Hard to Trust Your Baby (Live) Girls On Grass | Pissin Down a Road John Doe | Go Baby Go To stay up to date on everything related to Girls On Grass please bookmark their website.

Cancion and the Family Band are now in residence at the iconic 11th Street Bar in the heart of Manhattan’s East Village. They play every second Tuesday of the month to a growing fanbase. The 11th Street Bar is a great place to have a drink and listen to music so please make sure that you make it out and catch one of their sets before the year is over. I've had the opportunity to see the band perform live twice and they've been very good both times. I sat down to talk with the members of the band about the pros and cons of playing a residency, their latest release, "Stone For Stone", and what exactly is Americana music.
