It has been awhile since I did a proper review of a BRMC gig, and this is probably not enough of one to truly appreciate them. Oh well, an unusual 40 minute set for a crowd that may have largely not known or understood their music. I know a lot Read more…

Though I probably attended some great shows this summer (Beach House @ Hollywood Forever and Beach Goth @ LA Historic Park recently), it’s been too hot and miserable for me to enjoy most of them. This week, it finally cooled down to a point where going out isn’t such a Read more…

Last year, I went to a ton of live shows and this year has actually been surprisingly full despite not writing about them really. I probably could have written a lot about the Noel Gallagher show since I ended up getting into the interactive Oasis experience, but the food was Read more…

Thanks to ThrillCall for getting me tickets to Kasabian! The Wiltern was the place to be on Saturday night (particularly if you were visiting from Glasgow, for some reason) because Kasabian and Slaves were bringing the noize.

Here’s my late post on Drill Festival LA, a 3 day event WIRE played and curated. Thanks again to Ellenwood EP for the tickets! I attended most of the festival and even sat in on the soundcheck for the Pink Flag 30 guitar orchestra. I had also brought a guitar Read more…

Just last summer, I saw Echo & the Bunnymen with Berlin at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa after not seeing them for 6 years. It was a memorable experience especially with so much of the audience singing along to many of the better known songs. This year, they announced a full Read more…

After a couple years of not seeing a real BRMC show (in person), a festival set was welcome in spite of the scorching heat. It was over 100 degrees most of the day and even with several layers of sunblock, I was left with some burns near my neck and Read more…
