Beach House Live Beach House – Used to Be, Silver Soul (Live) Currently riding a wave of buzz in the indie scene, the Baltimore, MD based duo Beach House has been touring to support the release of their third album “Teen Dream.” This stop of their tour found them opening up for The National at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. I was not very familiar with their material, but my trusted friend has been trumping them up for some time (More…)

    His Hero Is Gone – Chain Of Command (Live Video)

    I wasn’t properly introduced to Memphis’ His Hero Is Gone until they put out their split 12″ with Union Of Uranus back in ’98. Their style of crust/metal never appealed to me as much as the Uranus side, but HHIG live was a whole other story (More…)

    The Monday Set: Jonathan Fire*Eater – Cincinnati – 7/24/97

    We had a request a couple months back to post this show for someone who had the great fortune of actually being in attendance. I saw them a couple of times on this same tour, once in Seattle at a bizarre club with the widest yet narrowest stage I have ever seen (More…)

    Lush – Ladykillers (Live Video)

    This is a Lush performance on a UK show called “Hotel Babylon”. I wasn’t able to find any info about the show, the only info that came up for “Hotel Babylon” was a BBC drama from 2004-2009. That would have been awesome if they wrote Lush into an episode. Maybe it wouldn’t have gotten the can had they done that....

    Midnight Juggernauts – Vital Signs, Tombstone (Live)

    The bowling alley / concert venue presents a quandary for the concertgoer. While it may provide an interesting environment in which to see a band, there are also many negatives which tend to detract from the concert experience. Chief among these negatives is that half the audience is there to bowl and hang out with their friends, and could care...

    Vic Godard – Blackpool

    Though I came late to the game when it comes to my appreciation of Vic Godard, I’ve had a great time tracking down a lot of his back catalog. With a musical style varying wildly from release to release, I’ve always found myself attracted to Vic’s jazz standards-esque songs from the early 80′s. (More…)

    Faster Pussycat – Bathroom Wall (Live)

    I can only think of one other time when I have been so compelled to go out and see a band that is firmly planted in the Heavy Metal/Hair Metal arena. I did see Van Halen with David Lee Roth a few years ago, but the ultimate decision to go was heavily influenced by others. The sole non-DLR exception...
