Portishead 10/18/11 Shrine Exposition Hall - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos by God Frank   When I die I want Portishead’s Dummy CD playing on an endless loop at my funeral. No babble from people who really didn’t care about me and ignored me my whole life, trying to make themselves feel better before they completely forget about me in 2 weeks. Just an endless stream of Beth Gibbons soulful and angst ridden vocals washing over the sparse crowd. The three people in this world who actually ... Read More

Mary Magdalan featuring OLOM, Young London, and FreeSol Webster Hall-New York, NY Words/Photos by LexC   Knowing this show was at Webster Hall I decided to pregame a little bit. Their prices are ridiculous and even if I had the money I wouldn’t pay for drinks. Even a bottle of water is about five dollars. I also needed to waste some time because ended up in the city earlier than planned. So I stopped off at my favorite bar downtown, a little Irish place named Biddy ... Read More

Until about a month ago, I had no idea who Starfucker (STRFKR) was. I have, however, learned two important lessons when it comes to discovering new music: (1) Never judge a band until you see them play live and (2) Always trust thenaturalstoner for music advice. So, I spent the past month listening to Starfucker’s self-titled debut album and their newest release, Reptilians, to prepare myself for this show. I met TNS and a couple of other friends over in Pullman. We had ... Read More

Review and picture by thenaturalstoner   Prior to the Sasquatch! Festival I had created a preview for this site, and a couple of days later I am ready to look back and see how I did. Lots of moving and shaking going on in the table below. It appears that the biggest surprise of the weekend for me was Major Lazer and the biggest drops were The Flaming Lips and Iron and Wine.   Preview Top 10 Post-Fest Top 10 1. The Foo Fighters 1.

Words and Photos by Bradley Darby It is an interesting time in the music world right now. Concert ticket sales are way down, yet prices seem to be up. Massive tours have been forced to cut dates due to slow ticket sales. With the music industry in disarray and the future leaning towards digital music (and quite possibly the return of the vinyl!!) the multi-day music festival made famous by Woodstock has made a strong return. There is something unique about being able to ... Read More

Trans-Siberian Orchestra 11/18/10 EnergySolutions Arena - Salt Lake City, UT Words/photos by feliciaevita   Did anybody see the Trib's assessment of last Thursday's Trans-Siberian Orchestra's concert in Salt Lake City?  David Burger opined that the almost three-hour TSO show was exhaustingly long and with questionable content at times, most notably with the addition of the Beatles tune "Help."  Burger appeared surprised that a band with the longevity, talent, and reputation of the TSO wouldn't get their show right.  While I share a few of his sentiments, ...

Jamie Lidell 09/09/10 Old Rock House - St. Louis, MO Words by Brad Darby Jamie Lidell, a singer / songwriter from the UK who currently resides in New York City, made a stop at Old Rock House to bring his unique blend of electronica, funk, and pop through St. Louis on his fall tour.

I knew Los Angeles had a ton of dipshits.  Little did I know that so many of them would flock to the crime infested shithole know as the Los Angeles Coliseum for two days of craptastic electronic jams (and Deadmau5, who I like because he has a cool head).  While you couldn't pay me to be within 10,000 feet of this event, the truly wonderful Johnny Firecloud of Antiquiet.com fame did attend the event and has blessed us to share his thoughts ...

STS9 w/ Nalepa Dub Orchestra 02/12/10 The Wiltern - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos/Videos by concertconfessions.com The teams seemed to be about even.  On one side of the Art Deco Wiltern Theatre stood 1,000 E-tarded electronica kids in Ed Hardy shirts, dark sunglasses and black high top sneakers with bright flourescant shoelaces.  On the opposite side, 1,000 dirty E-tarded wooks in patchwork pants and hooded sweatshirts, declaring their favorite microbrews and waiting in anticipation.  Somehwhere between my pal (who has requested to only be known as ...

Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO - 8/3/09 Words/Photos by iheartmoshing This is the 15th year for Warped Tour but for me, it was only my third year attending. Out of the three I've been to, this ranks as the best, not only because of the awesome bands on the tour, but of the great experiences I had while I was there. My day at Warped Tour included seeing: I Set My Friends On Fire, Underoath, Black Tide, NeverShoutNever, Breathe Carolina, A Day to ... Read More

Peaches 06/06/09 Music Box @ Fonda - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos/Videos By Justin Saturday Night on Hollywood Blvd. The smell of hobos, trash, bad perfume and bacon wrapped hot dogs. Sitting soaked in sweat, twittering about some random star upon the blvd, I just had to take a few moments to contemplate what had just happened. Wow, did that really all go down? Did I really consume that many chemicals? Did I really show up here with five beautiful women on my arm, only to be ... Read More

Great performance and the guys were so awesome. They were kind in signing everybodies stuff and doing pics with them. Ryan the lead singer is ... Read More
