Tech N9ne is an indie hit (again)

TechHis latest album, "Tech N9ne Collabos: Misery Loves Kompany," a collection of collaborations, sold more than 13,500 copies its first week, making it No. 3 on Billboard's Independent chart (behind the Hairspray soundtrack and the new Spoon album), No. 23 on its R&B/Hip-Hop chart and No. 49 on its overall Billboard 200 chart. "Collabos" also stimulated sales of last year's "Everready" CD, which jumped 13 percent. Soundscan sales are now around 105,000 copies. The numbers don't lie or exaggerate. For a guy on a indie label, he has a substantial, loyal following.

Tech N9ne will perform Saturday night, July 28, at Memorial Hall with the Kottonmouth Kings as part of the Strange Noize Tour.

Beginning with "American Tune," the first of 18 songs Garfunkel performed, it was evident that the audience of approximately 800 would witness a...

Concert review: Chris Isaak His songs can be as forever-blue as his royal-blue suit, but his shows are as bright as his white Gibson. Photos by Timothy Finn/The Star When your goal is to entertain and you look and dress like Chris Isaak, you've won half the battle before you open your mouth. When you sing like he does and tell jokes and do comic bits like he does (sometimes to excess), you've pretty much got the predominantly female crowd in the palm of your hand. Or wrapped around your finger. Whichever. Saturday night, Isaak entertained and seduced a crowd of about 500 in...
