#30: Trailblazer @ Al’s Bar [Original Post] Man, what a great first Trailblazer show for me to catch. On record he can occasionally get a little noisy for my taste, but this set didn’t get too far from his solid guitar rock base. Solid songs and a great performance made this one of the best [...]

Sick of the Radio has a great video of Coleman Guyon – aka Lexington’s very own Trailblazer – performing in his practice space. Enjoy! Check out Trailblazer’s Bandcamp page if you want more MP3s/info on him.

CD Central’s Memorial Day party was a blast. We got psychedelic jazz from Blist Bop, raw punk from All-American Werewolves (featuring CD Central employee Mike Lunsford), the catchy-but-impenetrable rock of Trailblazer and the bluesy rock of Last Duo. Hope you made it to the event, got some free watermelon and had a great time. If [...]

Coleman’s video for “Don’t Need It Anyway” is so simple that I knew there had to be something coming — I mean, something besides a rad song from new favorite Lexington band (I have a lot of new favorites. Often my new favorite is an old favorite, too. It’s hard to keep up). I don’t [...]

In the future, look for reviews of small, local bands in the local section. Given Trailblazer’s proclivity for dissonance, I figured his live show might be kind of a mess. After most bands are only weirder live, right? And that bit is at least a little true of Coleman’s shows as Trailblazer. His songs are [...]

The Butchers are very patriotic apparently MP3: Idiot Glee – Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers) MP3: The Butchers – You a Liah MP3: Trailblazer – Mallard Woo-hoo this is one sweet lineup. I hope I wind up perking up after work next Thursday so I can make it down to Al’s Bar to see three [...]
