CONCERT RECAP / SETLIST: Flogging Molly @ FOX Theater Oakland, CA 3/9/13
Flogging Molly came to Oakland’s Fox Theater this past weekend and unleashed a serious can of Irish whoop-ass (also known as Guinness) on everybody. The seven-piece Celtic Punk group has been recording and playing for nearly 15 years now and their hilariously fun and boisterous live show reflects both their... more
FESTIVAL RECAP: 2013 BUKU Music + Art Project
Words by Grant Thomas and Shane Colman | Photos by Shane Colman The second installment of the BUKU Music and Arts Festival proved, once again, that New Orleans knows how to throw a great party. The prime location along the mighty Mississippi provided a unique backdrop of passing barges, not... more
CONCERT RECAP: Dangermuffin @ StageOne, Fairfield, CT 3/9/13
In my opinion, Fairfield Theatre Company’s StageOne is one of the most charming and intimate stages in the entire state of Connecticut. This last Saturday evening, Dangermuffin made their second appearance at the 225 seat venue to an almost sold out crowd. This was the kind of evening in music... more
PHOTOS/ RECAP: Thao & The Get Down Stay Down @ Great American Music Hall, SF, CA 3/2/13
Despite my best planning and rampant enthusiasm for the evening’s billing, I almost didn’t get into the show last Saturday. Due to some mix-ups on the back end, my name was never added to the press list. I waited outside the venue asking strangers for extras (shhh! scalping is illegal!)... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Bob Weir (w/ Jonathan Wilson) @ The Pearl @ Palms, Las Vegas 3/1/13
Like a old soul reborn, Bob Weir brought his rhythm and rhyme to the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas last Friday night. Opening the show was Jonathan Wilson, who brought some familiar Dead tunes and was a nice filler. The show got into hyper drive when Weir suddenly... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Morrissey @ The Moore Theater, Seattle, WA 3/6/13
Morrissey is a man who likes to start fights. The former vocalist for 80’s legends, The Smiths ripped off his shirt halfway through “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want,” sending those who had abandoned their theater seats for the front row into a tizzy. They salivated as he... more
PHOTOS / SETLIST: Deep Banana Blackout & Kung Fu @ The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY 3/2/13
Nick Irving's weekend involved The Capitol Theatre, Deep Banana Blackout and Kung Fu. A pretty awesome New York combination especially when both bands share the stage as they did on Saturday night. Check out Nick's always-impressive photo gallery, the setlists, and a few @mkdevo videos from the show! LMB ProTip:... more
PHOTOS / VIDEO / RECAP: PANTyRAiD @ The Fillmore, Denver, CO 3/2/13
After an outstanding weekend of shows in Denver I couldn't bear to return to Boulder empty handed. It wouldn't be right. On Friday night, I was lucky enough to snag a ticket to Griz's sold out show at the Ogden Theater. Unexpectedly, Two Fresh played a surprise set that I... more
PHOTOS: Galactic @ El Rey Theatre, LA, CA 2/28/13
NOLA funktet Galactic toured up the west coast last week, making a stop at Los Angeles' El Rey Theatre for a show in front of a notably lively and packed out El Rey Theatre. Special guests included Lyrics Born, Lateef The Truth Speaker, Corey Glover, Latyrx and Corey Henry. Jim... more
CONCERT RECAP: The Punch Brothers @ The Calvin Theatre, Northampton, MA 2/15/2013
When I became interested in covering Punch Brothers performance, it wasn't because I was in love with their music. In fact, I hadn't even heard much of it. Based solely on the fact that it was a string quintet, there was really no way I wouldn't fall hard and fast... more
RECAP / PHOTOS: STS9 @ Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA 3/2/13
STS9 capped their west coast run of shows on Saturday night at the 4,000-capacity Palladium in Hollywood, CA with a dance-heavy second set. The venue wasn't full (thankfully) so for those in attendance it was perfect -- ample room which everyone seemed to be utilizing for dancing, and no... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Why? / Astronautalis / Dream Tiger @ Neumos, Seattle 3/1/13
Screams reverberated through the room as Yoni Wolf of Why? took to the stage at Neumos. A young girl reached up to hand him a yellow daffodil, a simple and touching gesture. A long way from his beginnings co-founding the hip-hop underground Anticon collective of Berkeley, CA, Yoni has reached... more
PHOTOS: Unknown Mortal Orchestra @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 2/28/13
Kenny Sun went and caught Unknown Mortal Orchestra last night at the Bowery Ballroom and brought back this photo gallery. -Editor "If Unknown Mortal Orchestra's second album II is a wholly solid (if a bit uneven) record, last night's show reflected that sentiment. Juxtaposed against the eat-some-acid energy of Foxygen, UMO's... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Robert Randolph and The Slide Brothers with Otis Taylor @ Royce Hall, Los Angeles, CA 2/23/13
We’re all told to respect our elders, to learn from the generation before and to pass along tradition. Wise words musically speaking, and fundamental to any jazz or blues playbook where family legacies span generations and old sounds are regularly rediscovered and reimagined. Now, I hail from about as... more
RECAP: Unknown Mortal Orchestra w/ Foxygen @ One Eyed Jack’s, New Orleans 2/22/13
On a stormy Friday in the French Quarter, New Orleans’ young and hip packed into One Eyed Jack’s for an evening of delightfully unique music that was worlds away from the funk cover bands nearby on Bourbon Street. The sellout crowd seemed mostly concerned with current buzz band Foxygen,... more
PHOTOS / SETLIST: Furthur @ 1st Bank Center, Broomfield, CO 2/22/13
Phil Lesh and Bob Weir's Furthur opened up the first show of a three-night stand in Colorado last night with "Hell in a Bucket" before a cover of the Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy." Check out the complete setlist and a few shots from photographer, Dylan Carney, as well as... more

PHOTOS / RECAP: Big Gigantic, Kill Paris @ House of Blues, Boston 2/15/13
Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken, better known as Big Gigantic, played another one of their high octane and high energy shows last Friday (2/15/2013) night at the House of Blues in Boston. The large Big Gigantic (confusing I know) fanbase was in full attendance for the show and were dazzled... more
CONCERT RECAP: Get The Led Out @ The Dome at Oakdale Theater, Wallingford, CT 2/16/13
Photos and Words by Craig Sandor This show might as well have been billed "100% Pure Rock & F*****G ROLL!!!!" as I haven't been this amped-up and energized post-concert in a long time. Granted, even though Get The Led Out exclusively plays Led Zeppelin music and prides themselves on recreating their studio tracks,... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Ra Ra Riot @ El Rey Theatre, LA 2/12/13
A zesty energy with lots of love was all over El Rey Theater right as the night's heroes, Ra Ra Riot, took to the stage for their much awaited return to L.A. The fact that the band had recently lost a valuable member didn't stop Wes, Mathieu, Milo and Rebeca... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: The xx, Austra @ House of Blues, NOLA 2/8/13
So Mardi Gras is officially over and the season of Lint is upon us. If someone told me I had to give up music for Lint, I would be deeply saddened but could look back on The XX show as inspiration to get me the next forty days. ... more
