Welcome!

We love the Salt Blog, but it's time to de-board the mothership and launch our own music-only vessel. Oh sure, some random pop-culture nuggets might make their way on here, but we'll try to keep it on the sonic tip. Be sure to check back often, especially during the City Weekly Music Awards (ex-SLAMMys) about which you can read here and here. Tune in this weekend for highlights from the first CWMA showcases. Friday features Rotten Musicians and Mindstate at the Huka Bar; Laserfang, Furs and Purr Bats at Monk's. On Saturday, Aye Aye, Band of Annuals and David Williams take on the Woodshed; Loom, Subrosa and Form of Rocket rock Burt's Tiki Lounge.

Here's Rotten Musicians at their finest
