June 17, 20186 yr Certainly not Cincinnati proper, but this festival has a nice lineup. Surprised I just heard of it recently, and this one involves camping. I have never been to the Renaissance festival - anyone familiar with these grounds? https://bellwetherfest.com/
June 17, 20186 yr Certainly not Cincinnati proper, but this festival has a nice lineup. Surprised I just heard of it recently, and this one involves camping. I have never been to the Renaissance festival - anyone familiar with these grounds? https://bellwetherfest.com/ Yeah the Renaissance Fair's buildings are permanent. So it's like a fake English town with city walls and a castle. But totally different than the Loveland Castle. It's right off of I-71. There is only about a mile between 71 and Ceasar Creek State Park. I can't tell from the website if they're going to use the actual jousting area and all that. If they do, it will be awesome.
July 10, 20186 yr The satanic ska band Mephiskapheles is kicking off their 2018 tour next week in Cincinnati: I first heard them on WAIF, probably in 1994. Specifically, this song: I saw them at Bogart's in 1996 and then at Ripley's (where the Clifton Heights Chipotle is now) in 1998. The band disappeared without a trace on December 31, 1999...they didn't even have a website or an email address. After a 13-year Y2K hiatus, they returned with only a week or two's notice to play a bowling alley in New Jersey at midnight Jan 1, 2013. They have been mildly active since.

July 10, 20186 yr ....in Pleasant Ridge? Of course. Who wouldn't kick off their U.S. Tour in Pleasant Ridge?

July 18, 20186 yr The Grand Central Deli is a pretty nice spot...for me to poop on. No, seriously, it's a nice place that you would expect in a college area but it's Pleasant Ridge. Here was the band tonight, playing their smash hit from 2015 Satan Stole My Weed:
July 18, 20186 yr Also, mark September 6 on your calendars...The Pietasters will be playing the Northside Yacht Club: https://www.thepietasters.com/tour-dates/ The whole thrust of the band was a tacky Wilson Picket revival. The singer's act was a self-parody -- he was kind of an alcoholic jerk but his act was much more of an alcoholic jerk. I and my friends found the whole shtick endlessly entertaining...we probably first heard the band in 1994 and it was love at first listen. They sold out Bogart's several times in the 90s...the best show saw my friend Mike thrown out for shining a pointer laser in the bouncer's eye, then the band threw their guitarist face-first off the stage and nobody caught him. You can't make this stuff up. The perspective of all Pietasters songs was from the cage of a lousy but unbreakupable relationship. The singer is always drunk and always actively attempting to break things up, but never does. In the next song he'll be back, he'll be drunk again, and we'll hear the same blame and excuses. Then, the album typically resolves with an about face where he crawls back to his woman and denies everything that happened during the preceding 40 minutes.
July 18, 20186 yr somewhere in a box full of boxes, in the basement on a back shelf, I have a pietasters CD from college. a "live" version I think. Some fun songs. Never quite mainstream though
July 18, 20186 yr somewhere in a box full of boxes, in the basement on a back shelf, I have a pietasters CD from college. a "live" version I think. Some fun songs. Never quite mainstream though Was it Strapped Live? I never heard that one, except maybe the live version of Drinking & Driving. It's amazing how big that band was in the 90s to have never entered the public consciousness. I was there when they sold out or nearly sold out Bogart's, multiple times. Presumably that happened nationwide. Where did those 800+ people in each city go? Oh yeah I just remembered that Drinking & Driving song...it went something like: Oh what the hell I'll have another one 'cause drinking & driving is so much fun It was a cover (was the original band The Business? I can't remember)...and they'd end the shows with that and 30-40 people would start flipping the tables and stealing gear. You'd see the bartenders getting so pissed.
July 20, 20186 yr ‘Cincinnati's hottest art installation’ is a real swinger Large-scale installation art is nothing new, but "Swing House" by artist Mark de Jong feels revolutionary. Especially when you consider that the New York Times recently included it in their travel series, "52 Places To Go," deeming it “Cincinnati’s hottest art installation.” Also referenced in the article are Carew Tower, Music Hall and the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel, so "Swing House"is in good – and prestigious – company. "Swing House," which opened in October 2017, is an idea 30 years in the making. Located at 1373 Avon Place in Camp Washington, it represents the next step in de Jong’s artistic evolution as a self-described “builder-artist.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/07/20/cincinnatis-hottest-art-installation-is-a-real.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 26, 20186 yr Just a crazy thought here this also relates to the homeless issue on third street, but what is going to happen during Oktoberfest? Its one of the biggest events for the city and having the homeless camped out along the festival path should make for some interesting issues coming up...
July 26, 20186 yr They have made them clear out the last couple years so I imagine they'll make them move again. Obviously wasn't as many people who were moving in past years though. Like you said though this will become a much bigger issue if we get close to the event and they're still there so the city better figure out a solution before then.
July 26, 20186 yr I just thought of the best west side metal band name ever: Maurey's Tiny Coven. They'll have to either begin or end the set with this one:

This year’s festival, which began Thursday and runs through Saturday, is the fourth consecutive one sponsored by the Cincinnati-based maker of consumer goods such as Pantene Gold Series shampoo (NYSE: PG).

The Downtown Tour of Living, presented by the private nonprofit Downtown Cincinnati Inc., is a showcase of more than a dozen apartment and condo buildings that takes place noon-5 p.m. Oct. 13. It launched in 1999 but was discontinued in 2008 due to a lack of new downtown housing inventory, according to DCI.

September 7, 20186 yr The Pietasters played Cincinnati tonight for the first time in 15+ years. They were pretty incredible. The crowd was nuts. I think it's safe to say that they have a "cult following". It was the best concert I've been to in several years. I hesitated to tell people to go see this band because of the lineup changes since I last saw them more than 10 years ago. But they were on-spot. They are one of the few ambassadors of 1950s proto-rock & roll and 1960s soul that are playing in...2018. Yeah, they're definitely a cartoon, but you get a taste of what it must have been like to see Wilson Picket in his heyday. Which, in my opinion, was an example of American popular music at its most compelling. It's like, do I want to see a band that celebrates American music in the way that The Blues Brothers celebrated American music, or do I want to see some slicked-up dork with a laptop who calls himself a DJ?
September 15, 20186 yr So I just realized I haven't heard anything about midpoint this year. The website hasn't been updated since last year. Has MEMI killed it off?
September 21, 20186 yr Taft, other local institutions to offer free admission on Museum Day The Taft Museum of Art and several other cultural institutions around Greater Cincinnati will provide free admission Sept. 22 as part of Museum Day.

January 30, 20196 yr Why is Cincinnati so obsessed with pop emo and alt rock? Compared to peer sized festivals Bunbury lately has been skewed very alternative rock and I'm just not a fan of nearly anyone on this list. This is why we need Midpoint to make a triumphant return (or have Homecoming again).
January 30, 20196 yr THe 1975 already has a sold out May show in town on the 12th with Pale Waves, are they just going to hang around for this one too? NOPE! Just checked, they are busy. May 12 – Cincinnati, OH @ PNC Pavilion at Riverbend Music Center May 14 – Columbus, OH @ Express Live! Outdoor May 15 – Nashville, TN @ Ascend Ampitheater May 18 – Atlanta, GA @ State Bank Ampitheatre at Chastain Park May 19 – Charlotte, NC @ Charlotte Metro Credit Union Ampitheatre May 21 – Washington, DC @ The Anthem Edited January 30, 20196 yr by SleepyLeroy update
January 30, 20196 yr Pop emo, alt rock, edm and rap are what 20 somethings are into. There's a reason why Bunbury gets a lot bigger crowds then Homecoming did or Midpoint ever did. I hope those other two concerts continue/start up again just so everyone can get their type of music but Bunbury exists to make money so they get acts that will bring the biggest crowds.
January 30, 20196 yr Cincinnati Music Festival gains national spotlight The Cincinnati Music Festival has been named on the best in the business by a national publication.

February 4, 20196 yr Including myself, but didn't people move on? I saw four of these bands at Bogarts years ago, but does that mean you should be headlining a music festival in 2019? You don't see ska bands headlining festivals so nostalgia only explains part of it, the other part is just bad bands that play on the radio. I feel like old people setup this lineup thinking they know what 'the kids' are listening to based on the radio, not realizing 'the kids' use the internet to listen to music. Greta Van Fleet and Run the Jewels are well reviewed bands, the 1975 is very popular right now and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong will attract the wookies, and Triiibe is a good local group but the rest of the lineup is just really meh.
February 5, 20196 yr Yeah, it's silly, but for whatever reason, the emo nostalgia thing is at its peak right now. So much so that a "MySpace Emo Prom" was held last year.
February 5, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, ucgrady said: You don't see ska bands headlining festivals I know and the world is worse for it. What I wouldn't give to have the Bosstones headlining The Pietasters, Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug, and No Doubt.

February 5, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, GCrites80s said: Early 2000s nostalgia is coming on strong! It seems that the late '90s got skipped. Maybe Gil Mantera's Party Dream will come back: So if people became nostalgic for this band in 2019, they'd be nostalgic for an act that made fun of 2019 in the 2000s.
February 5, 20196 yr I don't think third-wave ska lasted as long or got as big as emo. Streetlight Manifesto is a good ska-punk band on the lineup. They came well after the peak of third-wave, but continued bearing the torch. Run the Jewels and Streetlight Manifesto are the only groups on there I'm interested in. If they play on the same day, I'll consider getting a one-day ticket. Looking forward to the Bellwether lineup to be announced. Last year was great.
February 12, 20196 yr Bourbon festival coming to Northern Kentucky this year A bourbon festival showing off Northern Kentucky as the edge of the Commonwealth's bourbon country will debut this year from the founders of some of the region's largest festivals. Kentucky's Edge 2019 kicks off Oct. 4-5 in bars, restaurants and venues all over Covington and Newport. The festival is being organized by Bill Donabedian and Kevin Canafax, who put on Brandemonium in Cincinnati in 2017 and 2018. Donabedian is also the co-founder of the MidPoint, Bunbury, Buckle Up and Bellwether music festivals.

February 13, 20196 yr I love the idea of Midpoint with bourbon. Hopefully this event is successful at bringing people going to bourbon country through CVG instead of Louisville. With CVGs prices coming down it should be the gateway to the bluegrass and hopefully this festival helps put nky on peoples radars (since nationally people don’t realize how close Cincy is to Kentucky). This will be the weekend before Blink returns so that whole week could have a lot of out of towners visiting the area.
