Carolina Chocolate Drops: Paradise Club, Boston, MA 10/20/10

Gerry Hardy November 2, 2010 No Comments

It is a marvel how bands with virtually no radio play can come to town and fill a venue with fans who know every word to their songs. Obviously I underestimate the internet and to a lesser extent non-commercial FM stations. Whatever the source of their connection, the Carolina Chocolate Drops; Dom Flemons, Justin Robinson, and Rhiannon Giddens, fit that description.

BB King: Beau Rivage, Biloxi, MS 9/25/10

Leslie Michele Derrough November 1, 2010 No Comments

When BB King was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1987, Sting announced that “the thrill has not gone.” And so it is that twenty-three years later, an 85 year old Riley B. King is still touring the country and still thrilling audiences with his songs, his guitar playing and his stories.

The Weepies: Great American Music Hall San Francisco, CA 10/16/10

Peter Zimmerman October 29, 2010 No Comments

The material for The Weepies' 90 minute set came from all three albums fairly equally, yet unfortunately omitted any of the tracks from Happiness, their debut record. Still, for most fans this was the first time hearing two-thirds of that material—really anything written and released post-2007

Cypress Hill SmokeOut: NOS Events Center, San Bernardino, CA 10/16/10

Gabriella Librizzi October 28, 2010 No Comments

Stoners everywhere gathered in San Bernardino, California for the Cypress Hill SmokeOut on October 16, 2010. From the Patient Consumption Area to the Massive Stoned Garden there wasn’t a clear eye in sight, though plenty were looking rather dazed and perhaps even a little confused. The beats were inescapable, but it’s not like you would’ve wanted to escape them anyway. The genres ranged from reggae to techno to hip hop and it drew gangsters to hipsters and everything in between.

Social Distortion: First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 10/19/10

Jeff Mozey October 28, 2010 No Comments

Social Distortion worked well together creating a memorable performance as they sounded true to their studio albums and by the crowd's reaction, it was all good. Some bands tend to change their sound from their studio recordings to their live performances, but Social D’s older hits sounded relevant as ever.

Phish – Mullins Center, Amherst MA 10.23.10

Garrin Benfield October 26, 2010 No Comments

Smack in the middle of what is already being regarded as a focused, exploratory Fall tour, Phish returned to the campus of UMASS Amherst to play perhaps the most anticipated pre-Halloween shows of their East Coast run.

Matt Joiner: Wing

David Eduardo October 25, 2010 No Comments

With respect to Widespread Panic’s Jimmy Herring, the finest guitar work in the Low Country last weekend wasn’t the noodling at the North Charleston Coliseum. Another Athens, GA export was kicking it in Chuck Taylor’s and a flat cap in a dive bar a few exits west on Friday night. Matt Joiner was on absolute fire, and it isn’t a stretch to imagine the twenty-something rhythm and blues guitarist holding court in arenas one day soon—until then you're advised to catch his power trio at a hole in the wall in your neck of the woods.

CMJ Kickoff Party – Yo La Tengo/DOM/Screaming Females: Brooklyn Bowl, NYC, 10/19/10

Shawn Donohue October 22, 2010 No Comments

The official kick off party to 2010's CMJ festival was held in the pristine Brooklyn Bowl with pins crashing and guitars wailing. MOG put together a free show for fans to catch new all-stars and old superstars before the madness of all day parties, panel discussions and cheap beer starts flowing in every NYC venue possible.

Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax: UNO Lakefront Arena, New Orleans, LA 9/27/10

Leslie Michele Derrough October 20, 2010 No Comments

Featuring three of the biggest bands in the thrash/speed metal genre, the Jagermeister Music Tour has been rumbling across the states like a hell-bent tornado, sweeping up fans and tossing them into a whirlwind frenzy. Loud, fast, sweaty music never sounded so, well, entertaining.

Michael Franti & Spearhead: Marquee Theatre, Tempe, AZ 9/25/10

Annie Percival October 18, 2010 No Comments

It was a clear night, still a dose of summer heat in the sky and the people came strolling into Tempe’s Marque Theatre to see Michael Franti and Spearhead perform. All ages from teenagers to middle-agers, allthere with one thing in common….to feel the love. That was the vibe the entire night. Dancing, playful, intoxicated….happy people.
