Nico Vega killed it as usual. The crowd was pretty thin for a Thursday night but that did not hinder Dan, Rich and Aja melting peoples faces with their take on good ol’fashion American Rock. I have already reviewed a Nico Vega [...]

Sonic Youth is one of those bands that have been around for decades and are still pumping out albums that are always different from the last yet have their signature sound. Sonic Youths real draw is their live show, and a Sonic Youth show in NYC is always a treat.
Boris is one of the best bands to come out of the land of the rising sun. They have stormed the globe with their cultivated “doom” sound that has made them popular. The last time they were in the states they played an Atlanta festival with a bunch of other bands including Mastodon. Before that the last time they were stateside they played a bunch of mid west shows(I went to [...]
1st up a new album from the Flaming Lips! These cats do weird right. This album is all over the place, I dare you to name all the sounds that are going on during this record. [...]
Down south twangness just got amped up for this new band that has a major kick ass show. Cage the Elephant took the stage at the El Rey and with a little help from their guitar tech, Jordan “themotherfuckinman” Powell, got yours truly a ticket to the show for some beers and some rock.
That’s right, review #2 of their live show only this time it was at the Velvet Jones, a place with a real stage, a real bar, and real speakers. AWESOME.
Nirvana’s Bleach came out in 1989 and was the band’s first album. Needless to say the rest is history. For their 20th anniversary Sub Pop Records decided to reissue a deluxe version of this album by pressing a 180 gram WHITE vinyl, adding a Live show recorded in Portland Oregon at the Pine Street Theatre on February 9th, 1990, a 16 page LP booklet and downloadable codes [...]
October 1st is a special day every year, both my little brothers were born on that day, 8 years apart. So to celebrate I decided on buying a last minute ticket to the second show out of four shows that Pearl Jam was doing at the Gibson Amphitheater, and I got a great seat.
Yet another show at the Troubadour, and man what a live show it was! The title says is all. Lets get into it.
