When Jeff Prystowski of Low Anthem first approached Jon Berberian, owner of the Columbus Theatre, back in 2011 the plan was a simple one.

They’ve been on Letterman twice, toured the world including a show at Lincoln Center, received gushing praise from Robert Plant, and shared the stage and microphone with Emmylou Harris who will soon record their song “To Ohio”.

The end of the year is always an opportunity to reflect and recap. One theme emerges from my collection of ticket stubs — the bands I like are skipping Providence venues altogether and just doing Boston. Could we fix that please? I hate that drive home.

[youtube]2qkGoqAZrqI[/youtube] I’m probably the least into the Low Anthem of all the people here on the Dose staff, so I have no idea why it took a blog in another country to alert me to this extremely lovely new stop-motion video for the song “Charlie Darwin”. The video was created by Glenn Z Taunton and …
Don’t forget the special event (they are calling it Strats-on-Avon) Thursday night at the Avon Cinema. The Low Anthem will headline with Death Vessel and Brown Bird in support.

Look who got a mention in today’s New York Times! “Oh My God, Charlie Darwin” by the Low Anthem was a selection for this week’s Critics’ Choice; new CD’s. Happiest with the down tempo cuts, Jon Pareles writes . . . the quieter the music gets, in an elegy like “To Ohio” or a conditional …
I’m probably exactly the wrong person to be reporting on the Low Anthem (they are as unlike Dethklok as it is possible to be, not being a cartoon and all) but I get excited whenever I see a mention of our state in the national media in a story not about icebergs. In covering the …
