Thumbnail image for Lollapalooza 2010: Day Three Recap and Wrap (Mumford & Sons, MGMT and Soundgarden)

I got busy this weekend between covering Outside Lands and the Phish setlists coming in from Alpine, and in the meantime, our friend Jimmy Coulas from Scents & Subtle Sounds finished his coverage from last weekend’s Lollapalooza music festival. Word is that Jimmy is launching a redesigned blog in the next few days, so he’s [...]

Tour Dates: Pretty Lights Announce Fall 2010 Tour

Thumbnail image for Tour Dates: Pretty Lights Announce Fall 2010 Tour

One of the best sets I caught this weekend at Outside Lands was the daytime Pretty Lights set on the Sutro Stage. While we were bummed that Adam Deitch didn’t make the trek out West and was absent at both the festival set and the DJ’s late night show at the newly remodeled Independent, the [...]

Outside Lands 2010: Garage a Trois Bring Punk, Budos Band Bring Funk, Marley Brings Flag

Thumbnail image for Outside Lands 2010: Garage a Trois Bring Punk, Budos Band Bring Funk, Marley Brings Flag

The second and final day of Outside Lands was a pretty successful music-filled day for me and my crew. I saw some seriously great music, ate some great food, enjoyed some $8 Newcastles, and generally left completely primed for the Worship My Organ face-melt that was planned for the late-night show at the Boom Boom [...]

Yesterday was the start of the third annual Outside Lands Music Festival here in Golden Gate Park, basically my backyard these days after moving to the Lower Haight area (maybe not backyard, but close enough). With a quick bike ride over to the park shortly after noon, the festival was off to a good start [...]

Phish is about to take the stage at Alpine Valley Music Theatre for the first of two nights as the end of their summer tour approaches. We expect big things from the band whenever they’re up at the historic Midwest venue, and given that I saw the ’03 and ’04 shows at the same venue, [...]

I’m hopping on my bike right now to head down to Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park. I’ll be posting updates on Twitter at @LiveMusicBlog, so follow along as the festivities begin…

STS9 is currently in the midst of their summer tour, and they made a stop in Boston last night with fellow visionaries, Lotus, The Album Leaf, and John Hughes. Our friend Adam Marcinek (@Adammarcinek) was on hand to capture the event for LMB and he got some amazing photos. Go ahead and click the first [...]

Phish Friday: The Telluride Run Spawns a JVS Pandemic

Thumbnail image for Phish Friday: The Telluride Run Spawns a JVS Pandemic

There is a theory on how Telluride got it’s name… It’s mining history and endless tunnels serve the phrase well, To Hell You Ride. Yet Hell is the farthest thing from it, especially when the town is hosting Phish for 9,000 fans and countless others perched on balconies, roofs and mountain tops. Keep this between [...]

Review: The Black Keys, Morning Benders @ Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN 8/12/10

Thumbnail image for Review: The Black Keys, Morning Benders @ Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN 8/12/10

The Flannels Rock Nashville’s Grandest Stage The incongruous twin bill performing at the mother church of country music on Thursday night (Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium) gave the overflowing crowd of twenty-somethings two acutely different displays of how to play a rock show. Watching the skinny-jeaned opening Morning Benders perform their heady (as in the thought-provoking/non-granola meaning [...]

Tour Dates: Arcade Fire Announce West Coast Dates

Thumbnail image for Tour Dates: Arcade Fire Announce West Coast Dates

Just the other day I was lamenting that the Arcade Fire had yet to announce any dates out West, and today I see that they’ve rounded out their tour quite a bit with dates announced for Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Berkeley, Big Sur and Los Angeles. That’s a healthy dose of the best baroque indie rock [...]

The promoters for Moogfest 2010 just announced that DEVO, Disco Biscuits, Van Dyke Parks, Clare and the Reasons, Bonobo, and Ikonika have all been added to this year’s festival. Tickets are now on sale for $150 for the weekend pass, which is an absolute steal for the music you’ll get to take in over the [...]

Lollapalooza 2010: Day Two in Review

Thumbnail image for Lollapalooza 2010: Day Two in Review

Continuing on our mini wrap-up from Lollapalooza 2010, Jimmy Coulas gives us his thoughts from day two. After a full day at Lollapalooza yesterday, I headed over to the House of Blues to catch the sold-out National show. The band was in fine form playing songs encompassing their entire catalog. Here are some quick note [...]

Couch Tour Reminder: Primus tonight @ Red Rocks, Phish tonight @ Deer Creek

News

Thumbnail image for Couch Tour Reminder: Primus tonight @ Red Rocks, Phish tonight @ Deer Creek

I guess I slept way past my alarm this morning after an amazing show last night at CODA with Will Blades and Scott Amendola. I think Amendola is my new favorite drummer, a man with finesse, style, jazz chops, and a resume to back it up. Blades vs. Amendola is a must-see for anyone on [...]

The craziest thing happened last night; @Phish actually replied to @LiveMusicBlog on Twitter. ZOMG. Sadly, they haven’t followed through on my request yet but they are continuing to post videos from the Greek Theatre run, with the latest being the 20 minute slayfest that was the Mike’s Song jam into Simple. Watch and enjoy. Definitely [...]
