Cage The Elephant – Thank You, Happy Birthday
A new year and Cage the Elephant kicks things off with their sophomore album, Thank You Happy Birthday. I have always pressed the fact that Cage the Elephant is a band to be experienced live, their 1st album was dope, but when I saw [...]
You read the headline correctly, Dave, Nate, Pat, Taylor and Santa Barbara native Chris decided to do a show in SB, but instead of selling out a huge venue they opted to sweat it out at the Velvet Jones, a club that barely holds 300 people.
The concert was a secret, I [...]
Before I get into the Melvins show quick shout out to the Velvet Jones. The club decided to do some remolding and it paid off in a huge way. They basically knocked off the awning above the bar, which opens up the entire space. It looks 10x bigger and you can hear a vast improvement [...]
If you read this website then I assume that you have a large pair of balls (physical or metaphorical). This impediment may make you the type of human that drools over the sight of a ’69 Triumph Scrambler being ridden past you. You may buckle to the sight of a calf muscle pulsating while perched [...]
The Black Angels – Phosphene Dream
Why have I never heard of this band? The Black Angels rule and so does their new album Phosphene Dream. This album could have come out in 1967, it definitely has a psychedelic sounds of bands like the Mamma’s and Pappas and Cream. Combine that throwback [...]
Hip-hop is a genre that, since the close of the 90’s, has become nothing more than a piece of soft, artificial, flavorless, and valueless bubble gum that has been chewed on, popped by, and passed along by a bunch of tarts with no understanding of what once made it great. BUT it’s [...]
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 [...]
Autolux – Transit Transit
6 YEARS!!!!!!! Thats how long it took Autolux’s sophomore album to come out. Who do these cats think they are the, Wu Tang Clan? Despite the incredible gap between albums Autolux has continued playing kickass live shows and are essentially a live band. Both Autolux albums translates an [...]
Another night in Southern California and another kickass show, this time by the Deftones.
These dudes always manage to come through to Ventura Majestic Theater and blast the doors right off. Yes this was a sell out show and looking at the set list you can see why.

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 [...]
