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.

Sonya Kitchell : The Triple Door – Seattle, WA 4/17/2006

Gabriel Scheer April 26, 2006 No Comments

One of the biggest challenges of reviewing a 17 year-old singer is giving an honest opinion of her music and performance abilities, as opposed to commenting on the quality of her music and performance relative to her age. This challenge is headily evident in the case of 17 years of age, singer-songwriter Sonya Kitchell, whose impressive performance is countered by relatively unimaginative vocal stylings.

Shawn Donohue April 25, 2006 No Comments

In the midst of their current U.S. tour the California 4-piece, Mellowdrone, took the stage Tuesday night at the Knitting Factory. The one-stop singer, songwriter and front man Jonathan Bates was joined on guitar by Tony DeMatteo, keyboardist/bassist Cami Gutierrez, and uniquely rhythmic drummer Brian Borg.

We Are Scientists : Manchester Academy, Manchester U.K. 4/07/2006

Michael Jones April 24, 2006 No Comments

We Are Scientists don’t offer anything new in the listening stakes, as their speciality is serving up instantly accessible slices of pop rock loveliness to get your head bobbing and those feet a tappin’.

Umphrey’s McGee : Music Millennium & Roseland Theatre, Portland, OR 4/08/2006

Jason Gershuny April 21, 2006 No Comments

In support of their new album Safety in Numbers, Umphrey’s McGee has hit the road to criss-cross across the U.S. as well as parts of Europe and Canada this spring to spread their musical message. On this odyssey they made a brief swing through Oregon to play an in store performance at Music Millennium, as well as a full two set show at the Roseland Theater. Both shows were well received, and although they were not the best Umph’s performances I have ever seen, they still contained glimpses of brilliance that show why they are one of the strongest jam-rock bands.

Particle : The Brickhouse, Phoenix, AZ 3/24/2006

Shane Handler April 17, 2006 No Comments

Since 2001, Particle’s rise to success has been meteoric compared to other contemporaries in their scene. Sure they weren’t opening for the Stones at MSG, but in between festival spots at Bonnaroo, Coachella and Austin City Limits, and selling out venues coast to coast, Particle was a rare success with limited record sales. So to most fans on the outside, it came as a surprise when the band broke ties with longtime guitarist Charlie Hitchcock this past autumn. The split is still very much a ‘he said, he said’ mystery, but regardless of who was right or wrong, at the end of he day, one thing is for certain…it definitely didn’t end well.

John Scofield : Yoshi’s, Oakland, CA 4/12/2006

Dustin Glass April 14, 2006 No Comments

Setting up camp for a five night stand at Yoshi's, the Bay Area’s premier jazz club, John Scofield enlisted the likes of jazz heavyweights Eddie Henderson, Bill Steward and Dennis Irwin for what he pegged “The April Band.”

The Flaming Lips : Webster Hall, New York, NY 3/31/2006

Shawn Donohue April 10, 2006 No Comments

When the band was in gear and smoking, like during their set closing cover of Sabbath’s “War Pigs” they bring more to the table then just silliness, they bring power playing, spot on pitch perfect singing and perhaps most importantly they demonstrate what a successful live show can become.

Buckethead: Paradise, Boston MA 3/30/2006

Bruno Santos April 6, 2006 No Comments

Somewhere over the rainbow this spring the dark pantheon of metal gods has a new body electric as Buckethead flees the coup before heading west with a complete sweep of sold out east coast venues ending in Boston.

The Go! Team : North Six, Brooklyn, NY 3/22/2006

Heather Handler March 30, 2006 No Comments

Always hesitant of a band with an exclamation point in their name, I wasn’t sure what I was getting into last week when I decided to roll on over to North Six in Brooklyn to check out The Go!Team. Shortly after 10:30, the three boys and three girls of the Go!Team, stormed the stage clad with wristbands and donning their own personal style, they immediately started bouncing around and playing their hearts out like a pep rally gone rock and roll.
