The slow death of music venues in cities | Cities | The Guardian
Across western cities, small music venues are going out of business. Small music clubs aren’t just incubators for bands – they play a vital role in a healthy urban ecosystem. What will happen if they all get turned into flats?Music in your city: share photos and stories Source: The slow death of music venues in […]

Babbling April’s “Farewell Dayton” Party
We learned a few weeks ago that Dave and Vivienne of Babbling April will be leaving the Gem City for new jobs in Washington DC at the end of March. And while we informed them that this has to be some kind of mistake. They assure us that they have to take this opportunity. So, Dayton got together last night it was time for one last hurrah for Babbling April as-we-know-them, featuring some of Dayton’s finest bands.
We saw It’s People, of course Babbling April played a terrific set, the always energetic Speaking Suns and the fantastic Manray!
The farewell party was held in the Fire Blocks District of downtown Dayton where we all hope to develop a DIY space for bands to play as well as other cultural events in the city –spoken word performance, alternative lectures, rallies and more. There was no cover charge, but donations were accepted to raise money for the bands that so graciously gave up their time to play for all of us!
Babbling April will return. But until then here is a clip of Babbling April doing a Pixies cover! So fun!
Life on The Limb
One of our favorite bands is sharing new music with us! The Boxcar Suite will release their latest Life on the Limb EP in a mere matter of days… April 1! The EP follows 2014’s excellent Across the Vast & Deep in preparation for the group’s next full length record. The new EP features four new tracks produced by Tim Pritchard at Suite Basement Studio.
The band will celebrate the EP release with a show at The Trolley Stop on Saturday, April 1st with special guests Columbus, Oh based The Nick Frye Band. You need to make plans now!
“This release features material that we wrote while we were working on Across the Vast & Deep” says Pritchard. “We had a lot of material going in to that project and while we chose the recordings that best fit that album, there were some songs that we felt were just as strong but needed to be recut. After the release of that album we hit the studio to start recording the next full length and re-tracked some of this material as well. The cuts we liked the best make up this EP. They’re not just extra material, but some of our favorite tracks we’ve come up with.”
The Boxcar Suite spent 2015-2016 playing shows around the Midwest and recording material for another full length to be completed this year. And we could not be happier about this at YTAA! Expect to hear the new songs this coming Tuesday on the show and soon we will have a special surprise to share with all of you.

New Show, featuring The Turnback
You know the drill. Its Tuesday. Time for another Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative on WUDR from 3-6pm!
Today on YTAA we are featuring the indie power pop of The Turnback! Their new record, Are We There Yet? has the perfect combination of solid rock melody, deft harmonies, and well written lyrics backed up with a solid guitar, bass, and drums attack! Goldmine has a terrific review that we could not agree with more!
All too often music curmudgeons lament the end of rock and roll – there is nothing to get excited about anymore. Do these folks have ears? With bands like, The Turnback, we say that rock and roll is alive and well. We love the sound of ‘Five Days a Week’,’July’, and ‘A Place for Me’. And the addition of The Beatles cover ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ that moves past the psychedelia of the original and pulls out the core of that song with a Smithereens-garage rock sound that was deeply hidden in that classic track – we say that rock and roll is not just safe but full of energy!
Join us this Tuesday as we talk with members of The Turnback about their latest and most impressive album to date!
