BEST ORIGINAL ROCK BAND THAT ISN’T BON IVER
1st Place: Jim Pullman Band
2nd Place: Daredevil Christopher Wright
3rd Place: Meridene

Damn good indie-rock bands filled this year’s list of best original rock bands, and the veteran trio of the Jim Pullman Band rose up to be named the best in our blooming city of great music. All that grainy, vintage twang and those sweet, good feelin’ rock riffs are hard to not get caught up in, and Jim Pullman himself can bring it all home with a powerful, southern-splashed tenor that Ryan Adams would be proud of. Most importantly, if you’ve ever been to a JPB show you know the threesome can sell catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics into the wee hours of night. Inspiring and quirky, bright and fearless, The Daredevil Christopher Wright is fresh from a critically acclaimed debut full length and a healthy dose of touring, earning them nationwide love and enough of your votes for second place honors. Meridene, having perfected a combo attack of blazing rock and sparkling pop punches, rounds out the top three after a very impressive year. – Andy Plank


BEST MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE PAST YEAR
1st Place: Bon Iver at The State Theatre
2nd Place: Jim Pullman at Decadent Cabaret
3rd Place: Mojo Lemon at Owen Park

If you were in the Chippewa Valley at any point in 2008, chances are you either took part in or overheard conversations about the smoking ban and Bon Iver. Locals followed the ongoing saga of Justin Vernon like crazy, from late show appearances and music festivals to music blog reviews and magazine cover stories. And the whole thing climaxed in December, when the boys of Bon Iver decided to wrap up their tour and momentous year with a sold-out show at The State Theatre. Good winter, indeed. The House of Rock’s annual celebration of rock and glam celebrated 30 years in March, and the highlight of the awesome weekend was a Pixies tribute set by Jim Pullman Band with Elizabeth (of Quinn Elizabeth) and Trevor Ives (of Meridene). It was so good that they did an encore performance at the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series. Blues band Mojo Lemon had a memorable performance as well this year, playing the highly successful new blues series in Owen Park in June. – Trevor Kupfer

much love, jim, joe & eric
