Brookville at the Troubadour: Photo and Video Review

When I received word that Brookville was playing the Troubadour with Tahiti 80 on Thursday, Nov. 5 I was super bummed I was gonna miss their show. I had caught Brookville not to long ago at Spaceland with the Postmarks and totally fell in love with their smooth-rockin’ ways. Needless to say our fearless and faithful photog, Craigers, made it to the show and got some great shots!

Morrissey Gets Popped in the Head With a Drink! Video!

When I was at the Download Festival ‘06 in Donington England I could not understand the stupidity or lameness behind the locals throwing bottles of piss at the bands their supposedly a fan of. As bottles of piss were dripping over our heads and onto Guns n’ Roses taking the stage before us, Axl just about canceled the show if the shit didn’t stop.
Again I find myself dumbfounded by some of these idiots that continue to throw drinks and bottles to those performers that they love. It’s not a fuckin [...]

“If You Like To Skateboard, I Hope You Never Have Children”

Wow, really? Some people are just so damn fuckin’ ignorant. Read this article from the Long Island Press and leave this super tool, Brad Pareso, some hate mail. Sounds like he’s still butt-hurt since he probably could never ride the concrete wave except for in “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” (if even). Either that, or he got his ass handed to him by some skater. After reading his lame article, I hope it’s the latter.

“There’s a family that lives a few houses down from me, and they have two sons, ages [...]

“Luna” by The Aliens – Album Review

I’m spiraling on a sound-wave of musicianship with a harmonica on my way through a gliding rock tune called “Bobby’s Song.” This 10-minute musical track is broken down into various branches of stylistic blends from the 60s past with touches of modern wonder. By the 3rd minute it breaks down to a mystical flute/pipe tune like a little creature-podling jamming with The Aliens … Turn the page and this track keeps leading you to another sound factor and it keeps building and changing—a sound traveler I feel I am but [...]

Hot vs Not: Mr. LA

Looks like Mr. LA (AKA Leather Bear) has old man pancake-ass! Either that, or he’s sqeezing in a peeping turtle, tight!

Dinosaur Jr. at House of Blues Sunset

“Grunge is Dead” read Murph’s shirt, the drummer of Dinosaur Jr. as we all sat upstairs at the House of Blues Sunset having a smoke. I remember Dinosaur Jr. as the coolest thing in the 90’s when grunge and alternative rock was in its prime. We’d blast their tapes in my parent’s garage along with a bevy of other punk bands we enjoyed back in the day. It’s great to see these guys thrashin’ it up again and blowing our ears off with their crazy-loud-ass jams!

As I walked out the [...]

Neon Indian at KIA Soul Collective

Brooklyn’s Neon Indian took the stage at the intimate KIA Soul Collective opening party this past Thursday, Nov. 5 at Siren Studio in Hollywood. As the opening show for a series of concerts all put together for the KIA Soul Collective, Thursday was a hot lil private event. Siren studio was packed and filled with sweaty hipsters. The open bar was flowing with cold beer and wines, as the cheese and fruit plates were always replenished. But next time, I definitely wouldn’t have any smelly fancy cheeses up in the [...]

LA 101 Festival – Review and Photos (Matt & Kim, Dany Warhols, Silversun Pickups)

LA locals only ya hearrrrd! LA Weekly threw a pretty sweet music festival, LA 101, this past Tuesday, Nov. 3 at the Universal (now Gibson) Ampitheatre. Consisting of nothing but Los Angeles musicians, our ears were blessed with the sweet sounds of Dengue Fever, Matt & Kim, The Dandy Warhols and Silversun Pickups! Be jealous.
Matt & Kim as always, are all sorts of cute! I finally made it through the crazy jungles if Universal City walk and onto the last two songs of their set. I was just stoked to [...]
