Tonight: Umphrey’s McGee at The Warfield

October 31, 2008

Happy Halloween, party people…
I’m quite psyched to be heading out in a few hours to catch Umphrey’s McGee and The New Deal play here in San Francisco at the Warfield, even if I’m totally and completely lame by deciding to just skip dressing up in a costume this year. I’m just not feeling it. [...]

Tonight: The Apollo Sunshine Experience and More Tour Dates

October 29, 2008

The Apollo Sunshine tour rolls on further with three nights (starting tonight) as The Apollo Sunshine Experience, a tribute-esque performance with costumes and music celebrating the art of Jimi Hendrix.

October 29, 2008

A few weeks back I went to go see David Byrne at the Davis Symphony Center for the first of two nights here in San Francisco and I’m surprised I never got around to writing something up on it. It was an absolutely incredible show for a Monday night affair, and it was my [...]

I remember seeing some rumors posted a while back about the fact that Led Zeppelin was going to return to the stage for a tour and/or a new album to support it, but I’ve never really given too much weight to anything I saw written. It all seemed to be the British tabloids just [...]

Two young Swedes go into the woods and record a cover of “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” by Fleet Foxes. [...]

Wilco to Play Colbert Report, Tour Dates with Neil Young

October 28, 2008

One of the reasons I’ve been so out of the loop in recent weeks is that I’ve been packing and moving from my first apartment here in San Fran. I’ve wanted my own place for a while now. I wanted to start setting myself up in a more proper setting to record podcasts [...]

The Breeders Announce West Coast Tour Dates

October 28, 2008

The Breeders have announced a few dates on the West Coast still supporting their latest album released earlier this year, Mountain Battles. I saw them in March at SXSW at the Mess with Texas 2 party and didn’t manage to get photos myself (but Prefix Mag has me covered there). I was totally [...]

Photos: Fleet Foxes @ Metro, Chicago 10/12/08

October 28, 2008

A few Sundays back, I was among the lucky few to attend the Fleet Foxes show here in Chicago. It was a perfect a show for a Sunday  – tangible energy from the crowd and melodic music from the band. Yet, I caught Fleet Foxes back in July at Pritzker Pavilion and was a little [...]
