Gig roundup: E*I*E*I*O makes a rare appearance
Who knows? Maybe they've all got too much other stuff to do. Maybe they don't get along that well. Maybe they just understand the laws of supply and demand. Whatever the reason, Milwaukee's landmark proto-alt.country rockers E*I*E*I*O play only very infrequent gigs.

Gig roundup: Lov finds inspiration in difficult youth
"Simple and sad with a shot of scotch." The only problem with singer / songwriter Sara Lov's own description of her debut solo disc, "Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming," is that is suggests more grit than there is to be found on this softspoken 10-song disc. Lov plays at The Mad Planet this week.
