Occupy Lincoln benefit w/ Shipbuilding Co, Black Cohosh and Bol'd Crow at the Zoo Bar, 136 N. 14th St. in Lincoln.

Black Cohosh is a brand-new Lincoln trio playing "black western" or "country death metal." Intriguing, isn't it? Bol'd Crow is also fairly new, but already building a solid reputation for their often-riotous Appalachian folk.

Bol'd Crow:

NEW MUSIC

Classes: Classes is a Lincoln duo featuring Jordan Ellis and Daniel Dorner. Ellis said they like how the name has multiple meanings – taking classes, social classes, etc. I haven't heard any of their music yet, but everything Ellis has been involved with has been pretty solid (the Betties, Ryan Head & the Barroom Orchestra), and Dorner's name has been everywhere lately. Here's their description from their Facebook page: "Formed in the winter of 2012, Classes consists of haunting melodies and abstract lyrics exploring themes of life, loss, and love expressed with otherworldly imagery."

Honeybee & Hers: Listen to a new demo track from this Omaha band:

"'Wild One' is a demo of a song we’re working on for our next album! Cody calls it the chore song. I’m really excited about this next album. Half we already recorded at ARC this past fall. We have been rehearsing the rest of the songs/reworking them as a full band and are hopefully going to be recording those in the spring!"


 

The Mynabirds: Listen to (and download) a new demo track from the Omaha-connected group:
