The Stills : Crocodile Cafe, Seattle, WA 4/25/2006

Gabriel Scheer May 12, 2006 No Comments

Though now living in New York, The Stills are, in some ways, in an (un)enviable position: they hail from Montreal, the latest “buzz city” and home of The Arcade Fire, among others. While undoubtedly proving a useful boost to young, hungry bands, the current popularity of their hometown also means heightened expectations for all who hail from Montreal. Fortunately for The Stills, their live show is proof that some buzz is justified; they bring it, and bring it good.

For long-slighted Midwestern Disco Biscuits fans a concert the band billed as a “Friday Night Freak Out” was a must-see affair and attendance was solid.

By the time these boys are rounding off the night my mind is made up. Believe the hype!! (well some of it)

With Coachella happening just 260 miles to the west, and the New Orleans jazz fest reviving the bayou, The McDowell Mountain Music wasn

Flickerstick / Spiraling : Middle East, Cambridge, MA 5/01/2006

Eli Scheer May 8, 2006 No Comments

Waiting in the Middle East Upstairs as the roadies finished setting up for the fourth band of the night, I was reminded of Flickerstick's connection with the 2001 VH1 reality show Bands on the Run by those standing around the nearly filled 200-capacity club. This VH1 fame must surely get mentioned in every article that has since been printed about them, and for better or worse, this one will be no different. When the band finally took the stage at just past eleven o'clock, I understood, at least in part, why they won the four band, fight to the death competition based nearly completely on their live show.

Jerry Joseph & Dave Schools Almost Acoustic : Smith’s Olde Bar, Atlanta, GA 4/15/2006

Richard Clarke May 5, 2006 No Comments

The artists that formed The Stockholm Syndrome and released the CD Holy Happy Hour, Jerry Joseph and Dave Schools, finished their four-city Almost Acoustic mini-tour with a sold-out performance at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta.

Particle : Paradise, Boston MA 4/20/2006

Andrew Bruss May 3, 2006 No Comments

Expectations were high as Particle took the stage at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club around 10:30 on what stood to be a significant test for the band. Not only do their fans hold higher expectations for a 4/20 show, but the gig was going to be Particle’s first chance to show their Boston based fans the new, and supposedly improved lineup, that has been hyped since its unveiling alongside guests like Joe Satriani, and Robbie Krieger of The Doors.

Secret Machines : Hiro Ballroom, New York, NY 4/26/2006

Shawn Donohue May 3, 2006 No Comments

For the record release party of their acclaimed new album Ten Silver Drops the Secret Machines took on the best-kept venue in New York, The Hiro Ballroom at the Maritime Hotel. Unlike other shows held in the gorgeous room filled by gorgeous people, this one would not be on a stage slotted back against the wall. This evening would be an “in-the-round” performance, in the tradition of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

Soulive : Avalon, Boston MA 4/20/2006

Nicholas Smith May 1, 2006 No Comments

Soulive have a history of bringing the house down on the live circuit and the Avalon show was no exception to the rule.

6th Annual Jammys : The Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY 4/20/2006

Chad Berndtson April 27, 2006 No Comments

At the Jammy Awards, the musical reach is broad and a sense of history is cherished. Not only that, but it's done so in an organic way that, despite similarities in intent, manages to pull off the type of shaggy genuineness that the museum-enshrinement theatrics of the Grammys and the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame just can't seem to nail.
