Red Hot Chili Peppers tour with The Mars Volta

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. […]

Ministry at House of Blues - NOLA

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 […]

TV On The Radio in Seattle

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 […]

The Black Angels kick off tour

Anyone paying attention to the buzz around the Interbutt knows that The Black Angels are tearing it up. With their full length Passover just released, they’re heading out across the US and Canada to promote and, hopefully, rock. Dates after the drop.

Massive Attack launches world tour

To kick off their summer-long world tour, Massive Attack played The Paramount Theatre last night in Seattle. Following two more dates in the United States (Denver and Coachella, respectively), the entourage of trip-hop pioneers jump the pond and play the Mediterranean, Europe and Asia.

For those who have never seen the band live it might seem […]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs show Seattle their bones

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 […]

Go see The Books

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 […]

TOOL tour sells out… fast

The US mini-tour TOOL will be performing throughout May sold out Saturday in record time. Each of the dates have been bought out entirely. Of course, since TOOL fans are notoriously anxious panick ensued, which apparently hit the band with a barrage of emails. In response, Maynard released this statement:

Many people are complaining about the […]

A Silver Mt. Zion announce US, world tour dates

Not much has come from Constellation Records in the past months. That is, until today. A Silver Mt. Zion announced they will embark on a rather exhaustive four-month tour around the globe. This is the first North American tour for the band so you should all mark your calendars and take part […]
