Last week’s Psychedelic Furs show at the Teragram Ballroom was a bucket list shoot for me as I’ve been a huge Psych Furs fan forever. I owe this to my aunt who introduced me to The Furs back when I was a wee little boy. In fact, at the ripe young age of 10, my […]
MoreSunday night was a very heavy and bittersweet night of music at the El Rey Theatre. The night was a tribute and benefit concert for Ikey and Aaron Owens presented by Goldenvoice. Just over a year ago, Isaiah “Ikey” Owens passed away from a heart attack while on tour in Mexico with Jack White. Tragedy […]
MoreThis past Thursday I went to the Hollywood Palladium to check out the first of two sold out shows from hardcore band, Rise Against. Rise Against was one of those bands that I seemed to miss out on when they first came out. My punk rock days were behind me at the point and I […]
MoreThe super charismatic and totally relatable, Courtney Barnett just finished up two back-to-back sold out shows this weekend at The Roxy. The Melbourne singer/songwriter has certainly made a name for herself over these last couple years and it doesn’t look she’ll be leveling out anytime soon.

MoreTruth be told, I was a bit worried going into Thursday night’s Toro Y Moi show at The Fonda.

MorePost-punk pioneers, The Pop Group, took over the weekly edition of Part Time Punks at The Echoplex this past Tuesday. The UK based band are touring in support of their first record in 35 years, Citizen Zombie. The imposing frontman, Mark Stewart, took to the stage like an animal let loose from its cage as […]
MoreWhile I may not be a big fan of surf music, I can definitely stand behind Swami John Reis & The Blind Shake, the latest side project from John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu). In celebration of the recent release of Modern Surf Classic the band took over The Satellite in […]
More“How can you separate the dancer from the dance?” –William Butler Yeats This pretentious tidbit of critical theory was all I could think of after seeing FKA Twigs’ national television debut on Jimmy Fallon. In that showcase, she balanced the spontaneity of performance with something resembling witchcraft. Her set up was risky; a wind tunnel […]
MoreThis last Wednesday, veteran avant-rock band, Blonde Redhead played a sweet and sublime set at the Fonda Theatre. After over 20 years of performing and nine albums later, the trio has gone from noise guitar rock to a more atmospheric electronic sound which had the packed Fonda captivated. The older crowd was so immersed in […]
