Promoting his new album, “Secret Profane & Sugarcane,” Elvis Costello played a FREE show at Amoeba Music in Hollywood yesterday evening. Hands down, Costello was just amazing. Opening up with my favorite song off his new album, “All Time Doll,” he played a stellar hour set. The man’s voice is mint! Hearing him live in […]

If you have yet to hear about Jay Reatard, I highly suggest you get with it. The dude just slays live! Him, his bassist and drummer, all three make for some killer garage punk. The sound’s very reminiscent of mid 70’s punk, performed with enough energy to burn a hole through the roof! Not to […]
