This is a peculiar pairing in my opinion, but it is what it is. I think I’d rather see The Mars Volta on their own, rather than opening for the Chili Peppers, but it’s nice to see them opening for a band with status. It’s a relatively extensive North American tour with more dates anticipated. […]

I have every intention of being at this show. It has been scheduled for nearly a year and I’m still bitter for missing their performance with Thrill Kill Kult. They are the veritable gods of industrial music and they have a new album out. Rio Grande Blood doesn’t suck, but I’m getting sick of Bush […]

If you’ve got nothing to do this Friday night, consider checking out TV On The Radio at The Showbox. This is the second-to-last club date they’re doing before joining up with Nine Inch Nails to tour as an opening act (not sure how that’s going to over with NIN’s fans… probably about as well […]

Karen O has stage presence but lacks personability. The absence of any niceness on stage is most of her presence, though. She’s not there to be thankful that you’re there to see her and her band play. She’s not there to be your friend. She’s on stage to howl into the mic and melt […]

Those who praise The Books’ studio albums have really only experienced half of what the duo of Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong have to offer. That the band originally had no intentions of touring is the great irony of their live performance; a live perormance which is more engaging and compelling than anything else […]

Underground metal festival Sounds of the Underground started selling tickets this weekend. The line up this summer is a little disappointing with Trivium, As I Lay Dying, and an over-the-hill In Flames leading the bill. Last year was a great tour with a nice mix of death and thrash metal from bands like Opeth and […]

Haha, yea right. This is so sold out.

Elysian Fields announced recently an extensive across France and other parts of Europe. The tour will begin Monday in NYC and then skip across the pond and into May. The group should have a new LP in the works. Also of note, band member Oren Bloedow recently completed a solo album that is set to […]

I know you might be swayed by other, more high profile shows, but I strongly encourage you to go to this tonight. Man Man is one of the most entertaining acts currently performing, fusing elements of klezmer, punk and rock, to gel something thoroughly enjoyable. We reviewed Six Demon Bag back in February. They’re […]
