Home Is Where The Heartbreaker Lives...


Gainesville's original hometown heroes, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, played a fantastic, extra-long set last night, Sept 21, at the Steven C. O'Connell center. Sarah L. Stewart and Alice Wallace wrote a worthy review for The Gainesville Sun.

This week, several people have asked where to find local bands other than myspace. My answer was, as always, to go to any show anywhere any day of the week.

Of course, never satisfied, they wanted more. GainesvilleBands.com has an extensive list of current and past bands. Browsing those lists might inspire you to check out some of those bands, but it's always important to try to see them perform. That's where local musicians need the most support.

Speaking of support, today's band is Soulphonics (formerly the Elements). They are a 10-piece soul, funk and groove band making their debut performance at Sidebar tonight, Sept 22, at 10 p.m. Since they are currently working on their new album, this will be Gainesville's first opportunity to see them, hear them and check them out.
