Dead 27s, one of my favorite local bands, prove that not only can they mesmerize onstage, but that they're also awesome dudes to talk to.

When a group of local musicians decided to pay tribute to that greatest of all white-boy soul groups, Hall & Oates, at the Pour House, the results were sublime.

The Dead have come to life as local band has released a great new collection of rock and soul music. Drummer Daniel Crider talks about what went into the creation of "Chase Your Devils Down."
