The final night on the first leg of Phish Tour 2009 has just started at Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI. The band opens with “Brother,” and the next text I got said “Strange opener.” I’ll say.
I still haven’t listened to last night yet but I was told the “Maze” was a monster.

I’m going to see Grizzly Bear tonight at the Fillmore, and I can’t imagine a band I’d rather see on a Sunday night (well, besides Phish @ Alpine Valley tonight). I’ve been into the Grizzly Bear haunt for a little while now, even though I caught on much later than the rest of the [...]

Phish @ Deer Creek Gets Rain-Delayed, Alpine Tonight

June 20, 2009

Phish played Deer Creek last night amidst some serious thunderstorms, a familiar and fond memory I have of the weather we had while seeing Dave Matthews Band there in 2000 and Tom Petty in 2001, and it caused the band to postpone the second set for a good hour or so forcing fans on the [...]

I recently finalized plans to make a big move up to New York City later on in 2009 and I couldn’t be more excited. I have a ton of reasons to be stoked, of course, but for music blogging purposes, this means I will suddenly have a huge set of options for great live music [...]

Warren Haynes Christmas Jam | 20th Anniversary, Lineup

November 12, 2008

The hardest working man in music, Warren Haynes, is back with the 20th year of his annual Christmas Jam. Though I’d pay a lot of money to go back in time and see all of the canadian tuxedos that people wore in 1988, this year looks like it could be a great event. This year’s [...]

Apollo Sunshine @ Mercury Lounge, NYC 10/29/08

November 1, 2008

If there is a worse night of the week to see a gig than Wednesday I don’t know what it is. Wednesday is hump day; three days of work have already tired you out, but you still have two more staring you down, so it’s not always best to go all night. That [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The last few weeks have been really exciting for LMB especially here in Chicago where both Mitch and I call home. Not only did the blog get its wish — it has to do with a certain band — but we’ve been ironing out a relationship with Metro Chicago to get more and more great [...]
