PRIMUS SUCKS at the Santa Barbara Bowl 8/15/10

Another beautiful Sunday night in Santa Barbara and what better way to spend it than with PRIMUS. Before I get into that Wolfmother opened and they did a solid job performing a good mix of new and old and some covers to a unenthusiastic audience. They were saving their energy for the main act that came onto the stage nice and early around the 8pm mark, and since curfew is 10pm this should make for a solid 2 hour Primus show, [...]

Both Autolux  albums translates an  idea of what they sound like rather than an actual blueprint of their music. Transit Transit reflects this [...]

For reals, my right ear has not been the same since.  I should have worn ear plugs to the show, especially because of all the brutality I have but my poor eardrums through this past week, (Rage, Dead Weather and Tool) luckily the ringing has stopped. Oh the show? Out of all the shows I saw this past week this one took the feedback cake.

New Music Review Bites – Ratatat, Hot Hot Heat, Jamie Lidell, Tokyo Police Club

Ratatat-LP4

Fans of  smooth guitar work, frantic bhangra and conga’s, dope ass audio sound bites, and all things funky will dig this latest piece of work that Ratatat has laid out. Is it much different than the last album? Not really, it more of the same, the same awesomness that is. I use the [...]

LCD Soundsystem @ the Fox Theater in Pomona 6/5/2010

This was a bitter sweet show for yours truly. I love me some LCD Soundsytem but have only experienced them in festival format. Finally I get to see them do their own thing, and guess what, this is their last tour.

The show was kick ass, they played all their hits, and there was a lot of shit talking going on. Their on stage presence was real strong, playing on [...]
