A couple weeks ago, Flogging Molly gave another stellar performance in Charlotte at the Fillmore. Opening for them was an English band named Skinny Lister whose folk and polka sounds were just a lot of fun when coupled with the band’s energy and enthusiasm. Here are a few of their tracks. Careful, you’ll find yourself […]
It’s Saturday night and time for another edition of the Saturday Night House Party! My music tastes are all over the place, but clearly outside of the mass consumption music that is played on any local radio. When Mark’s away, I like to sneak into this post some things that I’m betting most of you have never […]
To all of the thousands of readers of PunditHouse, Mark and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whichever holiday you celebrate at this time of year. As we approach our three year anniversary, your friendship and support mean the world to us. We may not all agree on everything all the […]
If you know me, you know I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan. The brains behind television shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and even the recent summer blockbuster The Avengers, Whedon is a born storyteller with a comic wit that I find genius. Four years ago, during the writers strike in Hollywood, […]
Well, the week of the RNC is finally upon us, however, due to Tropical Storm Isaac, the convention will come to order on Monday, August 27, and then immediately recess until the afternoon on Tuesday. A revised schedule for the convention will be issued on Sunday, August 26. Depending of the path and strength of […]
Three videos to share this week. One purely for the music, two for the comic value. I’ve been a Delain fanboy for a couple years now, and their newest release, while a little different, still has some songs that I just can’t get out of my head. The song “We are the Others” is sort […]
Shoot us a link with your favorite tunes or vids (editor@pundithouse.com) and we’ll work them into the rotation: Jordan Page was a featured performer at Saturday afternoon’s “Conservatives Against the War” rally in uptown Charlotte. “Lullaby for an Innocent” is a beautiful song from the Italian band Kingcrow on the album “Phlegethon”. New single from […]
I wanted to go with an Easter theme for tonight’s House Party, but came to find out there just aren’t really all that many Easter songs…at least after taking away the kids songs and a few classical tunes. So, we wish you all a Happy Easter, and hope you enjoy the following songs welcoming in another baseball season! […]
In this edition of the Saturday Night House Party, we celebrate some local comings and goings. In the “comings” category, Flogging Molly returns to Charlotte on February 26 at the Fillmore. This is one of those bands I have always wanted to see live, and finally have my chance. Who’s going?! In the “goings” category, it’s […]

First up, “An Angel Came Down”. […]
