LOCAL BAND SPOTLIGHT: Monument Monument has CD release party Friday at the Shelter
The lowdown: Monument Monument has been making easy-to-listen-to (not to be confused with easy listening) guitar pop with a tiny bit of power for four years, first as a two-piece, then with five members and now with a more standard quartet of guitar, guitar, bass, drums. Good notice at local and regional shows has led to two consecutive appearances on the local stage of the Detroit stop on the ...

Carlos Alcalá He loves Edsels, with their faults
Classical gas-guzzler: Some fans of the Edsel will tell you the object of their affections is merely misunderstood. They'll say the car was just ahead of its time. Not Steve C. Luth. He loves the Edsel, but not uncritically.

CIVIC CENTER BLUES: A brief respite from fear
Something was odd. Might have been the emu oil. Might have been the horsehair raku pottery. Might have been the upscale s'mores getting gooey in the sun when usually that's the province of month-old chewing gum.

If you've never seen Coldplay singer Chris Martin perform, imagine a marionette with invisible strings. He's blessed with one of the most graceful voices in modern rock, and yet onstage, he's part Pinocchio, part Tasmanian Devil.

TWO years of doing nothing. That's what it felt like, at least. There were the lawyers, of course. And the managers and label reps and all those other industry folks. Dan Andriano talked to them when he had to, which was more often than the Alkaline Trio bassist ever wanted.

Sondheim musical works on Moorpark College's circular stage
Moorpark College's summer production of Stephen Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along" goes well beyond the basic Hey, let's put on a show!' concept. This is complex material in its music and lyrics, and in its time-regressive plot that takes a trio of friends from the 1970s to the '50s. Along the way, it unravels the tangle of how and where their youthful idealism lost its compass.

Theater Review: A razor-sharp 'Sweeney Todd'
Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is unlike anything you've seen at the Music Circus. But then, "Sweeney Todd" is unlike any other creation in American musical theater. Mark Jacoby as the title character in "Sweeney Todd" gets the evil Judge Turpin (Michael G. Hawkins) into his barber's chair.
