review

LAFTA, or the Lincoln Association for Traditional Arts, marked the end of its house concert season on Friday with Ana Egge's folk songs. See photos from the night here.

Our reviewer calls the new project fronted by Tim Kasher, Conor Oberst and Todd Fink "a cornucopia of genre-bending and experimentation that has not yet been attempted in Omaha." Read on for more.

Among the mess of journalists, musicians, music fans and gear at SXSW, Hear Nebraska's crew of six used their cameras, recorders and notepads to capture their Friday's worth of concerts here.

Tilly trumped Titus on Wednesday night as far as the audience goes, but Titus barrelled through a set of "big, anthemic fun without the nasty filler."

HLN8 featured fire-twirlers, dubstep, local electronic and a myriad of touring acts. Read our review with photos of the three-day event that took place Thursday through Saturday at The Bourbon.

We commend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's University Program Council for bringing the funk: Satchel Grande, that is. Here's to more local music on campus, and more student interest in it.
