A lot of old school grungers came out to see the iconic Dinosaur Jr. tear up the Music Box with their ear-blowing wall of Marshalls. As a special treat to this already badass concert, Henry Rollins conducted a live interview with Dinosaur before their performance. It was quite the entertaining and interesting Q & A, […]

The one-and-only Peter Murphy performed an intimate set at the Glass House in Pomona this past Friday, Dec. 9, 2011. The man still has it going on! Amazing show!

We’re presenting a very lovely show next week on Thursday, Sept. 29 at the Echo featuring Braids, Pepper Rabbit and Painted Palms. We’ve been huge fans of the Canadian quartet, Braids, since word on them hit the streets.

The UK’s Horrors were in Los Angeles last week with three headlining shows at the Glass House, El Rey Theatre and Detroit Bar (Orange County). A lot of the Grimy Goods staff are huge fans of the slender, post-punk rockers and some of us even caught their live show more than once last week. The […]

A new and improved FYF Fest went off this past Saturday, Sept. 3 at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. Aside from an always pleasing line-up, the organization was swift and full of resources (thanks in part to their new partner, Goldenvoice). We give this year’s FYF two big ass thumbs up! Check out part […]

This past Saturday, Aug. 20 was a blistering hot day and the classic line-up at Rock The Bells only made it hotter. Upon arriving at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, I was amazed at how large this venue was. After some 12 hours of speed-walking under the sun to the various stages, I […]
