Musiquiz: Elysian Fields

September 22, 2006 – 10:00 pm

Jennifer Charles is the voice. Oren Bloedow is the music. Elysian fields is the band. “Bleed Your Cedar” is the album. Allmusic sez: The band’s sophomore album Bleed Your Cedar was produced by Steve Albini, but during this time the band’s creative throws began its downward spiral. The label criticized them for sounding too dark […]

Musiquiz: Dig

August 18, 2006 – 10:00 pm

Yeah, it’s “Believe” by Dig. Remember Dig? Not many people do. It’s unfortunate. Head honchio Scott Hackwith put together a band that often struck a fine balance between hard-edged rock and lyrical beauty.
