2009 Halloween Concert Round-Up
Like New Year's Eve, Halloween is another holiday that a lot of bands choose to celebrate in style. There's just something about mixing the live concert experience with all the fun and choas of Halloween that really brings out the freaks.

New Year’s Eve 2009 Roundup
Updated on Wed, Nov. 4 For live/touring bands, New Year's Eve is a key night of the year to really bring out the big guns and party down with hardcore fans. As such, we tend to see lots of bands playing bigger shows to hometown crowds, often mixing in some fun/silly... more
Roundup: Trey Anastasio with New York Philharmonic @ Carnegie Hall
Trey Anastasio played at Carnegie Hall last night with the New York Philharmonic, and by all accounts I saw the show was incredible. I really hope Trey brings this out on tour someday. Here's the setlist: Set 1: First Tube, The Inlaw Josie Wales, Brian and Robert, Divided Sky, Water In... more
Weekly Roundup
Man we were light on posting last week. I've been totally out of loop since moving into a new apartment, but now that I'm settled in and mostly unpacked I'll have some more time to devote to this here website. Sorry for the lack of updates from my... more
Weekly Roundup
Summer is definitely wrapping up here at LMB and we've got a lot of stuff to get posted! We've all seen a tremendous amount of music! And there's plenty more to come! Yay! Okay, so maybe this past week was a little slow around here. Sigh. But, "Justin,"... more
Weekly Roundup | Slow Food Rocks
This weekend I spent Saturday and Sunday in the photo pit for the Slow Food Rocks music festival, an inaugural event at Fort Mason here in San Francisco set atop a hill overlooking Golden Gate Bridge and the mouth of the Bay. What a view. The festival went... more
Weekly Roundup | Outside Lands Wrapup
Yesterday was the third and final day of the inaugural Outside Lands music festival, and there were a lot of mixed reviews on how well the event went for those in attendance. Personally, I had a lot of fun and I felt that I got to see most everything... more
Weekly Roundup | Super Late Edition
The Octopus Project ala iPhone | Photo © Justin Ward Holy cow. I swore to myself that more posts would be up on this here blog today, but the rather spiraly turn of events that would otherwise be referred to as "my day" got a bit out of hand and... more
Weekly Roundup
I tried my best to keep up with the reports from All Points West this past weekend, but I also tried to get away from the computer to check the Everyone Orchestra here in SF. Unfortunately my press contact's list must have been a bit borked because I was... more
Weekly Roundup | Lollapalooza Hangover
Lollapalooza wrapped up yesterday and the live music world is going to be a bit tired today processing all the great stuff that came out of Grant Park this year, and I can't stop thinking about the Radiohead performance on Friday night. I caught a video of the highlight... more
Weekly Roundup | It’s All Good
Whitperson was texting me yesterday from All Good and he seemed like he was having an absolute blast. Hopefully we'll get some updates from him once he gets some rest. As for my weekend, I caught a fantastic show last night at Cafe Du Nord and forgot to... more
Weekly Roundup
Happy Monday folks. It was a big Fourth of July weekend for live music this year, with both High Sierra and Rothbury turning out excellent festivals as expected. The headlines are screaming about the half Phish reunion that occurred at Rothbury, as Trey was joined by Mike for... more
Weekly Roundup | Tea Leaf Two-Night Edition
Last night, I caught the first night of the Tea Leaf Green two-night run here in San Francisco; the Great American Music Hall is the room and it's a fantastic room for the band and the size of their audience in attendance last night. I was never too cramped... more
Weekly Roundup
As you probably noticed, most of us took a nice little break this weekend away from our computers. Most of us, that is, except for Sam, who put together his review of the My Morning Jacket show on Friday night at Radio City Music Hall. I got a... more
Weekly Roundup | Bonnaroo Wrapup Edition
Photo © dasmondhaschen / mymorningjacket.com Wow. I've been scouring the internets a bit this morning and reading about all the awesome shit that went down this weekend at Bonnaroo. It looks like attendance was down overall, which doesn't necessarily surprise me given the headliners and overall festival economies these... more
Concert Industry Roundup
It's been a while since I covered the Concert Industry on LMB. I don't have much of an excuse as I am arguably much closer to it on a daily basis after my last career move. Whatever mental block I had has now faded, so I thought it was time... more
Weekly Roundup
Leave it to me to start the week a bit later than usual. I'm just now waking up and getting off to work, and I thought I'd drop the weekly roundup ahead of me seeing what's going on in the live music world this week. Bonnaroo is the... more
Weekly Roundup | Mountain Jam Edition
While Paul was enjoying his time this weekend at Mountain Jam, the rest of us (mostly) were enjoying our weekend downtime away from the internets. Time for me to hit the hay and get ready for work for the week, so that also means it's time to round up... more
Weekly Roundup
Hope everyone's holiday weekend is wrapping up nicely. I've been on the couch with a decent case of the flu so posting obviously ceased to a halt. This photo taken from about a week back kinda sums up how I've been feeling lately, so sorry for the downtime,... more
Weekly Roundup | Cobrastyle Edition
I'm chillaxing pretty hard today and enjoying this fine bay coastal weather, but I thought I'd drop a few words on the site about the Robyn show I saw on Friday night here at Bimbo's 365. I doubt I'll do a full review, because I didn't really get too... more
Weekly Roundup
I went and saw the White Denim / Tapes 'n Tapes show here in San Francisco last night; it was at the Fillmore so it was an easy decision to go despite having just seen this exact tour back in April at the Metro in Chicago (not to mention seeing... more
