Built To Spill performing on a green stage before leafy plants, with guitarists, a drummer, and amplifiers.

FeaturesDon’t Keep It Like A Secret: Built To Spill Comes To The MishBuilt To Spill was ultimately grouped in with the “Northwest sound” from the outset, a result of being signed to Up Records. Although they left and signed with Warner Bros., they managed to retain their independence. After eight albums, the Doug Martsch-led group are still a mainstay in the indie rock world. “The main key is, of course, luck. But there’s also the fact that I am so simple, I don’t get bored playing these songs over and over again,” Martsch jokes.

Features311 Plays The Aggie and S.A. Martinez is ‘Bout it ‘Bout it.My reaction to 311 playing the modest Aggie Theatre was probably similar to other locals. ‘What!? How!? It’s so small. These guys sell out Red Rocks and have their own 311 cruise for god’s sake.’ But I quickly remembered the same people who book the Mishawaka Amphitheater took over the Aggie’s booking in March, so maybe they really wanted to kick off the concert season with a bang?Kyle Eustice · Apr 20, 2019

FeaturesCold War Kids – The Best Versions Of ThemselvesCold War Kids are a force of nature in popular music. With six full-length albums and several chart-topping hits including the song “First” which peaked at number one on the U.S. alternative charts, the label of indie rockers hasn’t applied to them for years. For lead singer Nathan Willett, looking back on his career (and looking forward) the name of the game is being the best versions of themselves they can be.Jed Murphy · Jun 1, 2018

Black-and-white photo of a DJ in headphones, arms spread over turntables and mixers, with projections behind him.

FeaturesCut Chemist of Jurassic 5 ‘The Audience is Listening’Anyone who has seen Macfadden on the turntables knows he will be just fine. Last year’s Renegades of Rhythm Tour with DJ Shadow featured albums pulled strictly from Afrika Bambaataa’s collection, which is currently archived at Cornell University. The performance was nothing short of mind-blowing. From the Shaft in Africa soundtrack and Isaac Hayes to Chicago Gangsters and even Jurassic 5 (which Macfadden couldn’t believe Bambaataa had), the magical duo took the audience on a trip through some of the best eras of soul, funk, disco, hip-hop and more.Kyle Eustice · Jul 18, 2015
