Ben Kweller recently opened for British stars Gomez at Seattle’s Showbox club, and the openers put on a show that, while technically skilled (and at times, even, intriguing), unfortunately did little to raise the heartbeat of this reviewer.
The spirit of Aqualung lives in a complex songsmith whose moody music he equates with both the underwater world and celestial space. His name is Matt Hales – singer/songwriter, pianist and multi-instrumentalist. A mastermind at mesmerizing us – first with his 2005 debut album in the U.S., Strange & Beautiful and now with the eagerly awaited successor, Memory Man.
Levon Helm’s re-appearance on the public stage stood as the one gig on Earth that could keep me away from the Bustle In Your Hedgerow show at Mexicali Blues on Saturday night. I still think I made the right call, the easy call, but all accounts rolling in from Teaneck point to a blown-off roof and “tightest Bustle show ever.” Oh well, I got Garth’d at the Beacon instead.
Let’s take a look at some photos from Saturday’s Bustle show…

Last week we expressed sadness at Rodrigo Y Gabriela’s last-second cancellation at Langerado and SXSW. It seems the government won’t let Mr. Sanchez into the country because he shares the same name as an already barred foreigner.
An estimated one million to three million illegal immigrants cross our southern border every year, and yet this guy gets fucked trying to do it right? C’mon!
A renowned Mexican guitarist, member of the ATO Recording artists Rodrigo Y Gabriela, has been hold up here for over two weeks since the United States Embassy declined to renew his P-1 Entertainer Visa. This unexpected situation has led to the cancellation of half a dozen U.S. shows on Rodrigo Y Gabriela’s current tour, and put in jeopardy many other major concerts and promotional appearances.
Now we’re even sadder: On the heels of the duo’s Langerado and SXSW pullouts, this week’s NYC Webster Hall and Philadelphia Electric Factory gigs have also been postponed for about a month. And if the rest of the calendar stays intact, this sets up an April 15th show in Portland, Oregon the night before the Webster Hall appearance. I hope these two aren’t totally exhausted come showtime…
