They converged to let go of real life worries for three days of psychedelic freedom. That’s exactly what makes music festivals both unique and popular; the convergence of like-minded people coming together for one common […]

Tame Impala The final day of Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta was a departure from the punk and angst of the previous two days. The music seemed to fit the mood of people winding down their weekend, mellowing out in the shade of the many trees that occupied the park. Most of the angst […]

The second day of Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival saw a larger turnout than on the previous day. By 3 PM, the park was packed — Saturdays always tend to me the busiest and most ambitious day for most festival-goers. Before Saturday, I thought North Carolina folk rockers The Avett Brothers weren’t festival-headlining material. It […]

Fever The Ghost Day two at Austin Psych Fest / Levitation was a day to explore and discover something new. As soon as I walked into Levitation I heard the unmistakable whine of the sitar stretching out across the expansive grounds. The sun had broken through the clouds drying most of the mud from day […]

Tame Impala Day one of Austin Psych Fest / Levitation left me a muddy mess. I had hoped that the forecasted thunderstorms wouldn’t actually come to be, but alas it IS raining here. Well, actually it is pouring here! Rain from the sky and big fields mix into what you ask? The answer is a […]

The Strokes It takes a music festival like Shaky Knees to really put into perspective what makes bigger festivals like Coachella sometimes annoying to deal with. The much smaller rock-driven Atlanta music festival brought a laid-back vibe from the outset and didn’t lose that momentum when The Strokes took the stage at 9:45 PM to […]

Fever The Ghost You know in movies when the main character embarks on a journey that they don’t know where it’s gong to take them? They are excited to go because of what discoveries lay ahead and yet that eagerness is tempered by a slight trepidation of the unknown? That’s how I feel as I […]

With sighs and hushes, to no surprise, The Regent Theatre was taken over at full capacity with a sold-out performance by folk singer-songwriter, José González. Born to Argentinean parents in Sweden, González has just released a new album titled Vestiges and Claws. The highly anticipated record comes after a seven-year hiatus and was self-produced by González. I had […]

Coachella has come to an end, and we have a mellow week of show ahead of us. And by mellow, I mean not as jam-packed as the past two weeks! That shit was nuts! This week we have old school punks Dead Milkmen coming through, along with new punk acts such as FUZZ and The […]

Shannon and The Clams If you’re into fun and music, then The Echo was the place to be Tuesday night. Oakland based band, Shannon And The Clams played to a sold out crowd and judging by how difficult it was to move around, it had to of been oversold. I knew that Shannon Shaw was […]
