Mosh heads and hardcore lovers wouldn’t have to wait long to earn […]

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 […]

First and foremost, the Burgerama at the Observatory in Santa Ana is a music festival cluttered with teens and college kids, and I have NEVER been to a festival so tightly curated and audience pleasing. From the easy access to the highway and lots of free parking, to the short lines and cordial security/festival workers, […]

Los Angeles punks, Fidlar, played the Constellation Room in Santa Ana this past Sunday (Jan 20, 2013). With the support from friends, Pangea and Meat Market, they all brought the rock and roll fury.
