Taking Back Sunday (w/ Thursday) 06/15/11 In The Venue - Salt Lake City, UT Words/Photos by Meredith Here we are again at In the Venue. This place varies for me, sometimes it is outstanding, and other times it is way too crowded, smelly, and has poor lighting. This was one of the good times. I was lucky enough to get press access to snap photos of Taking Back Sunday and guests Thursday this Wednesday. Confused yet? Yeah me too. This was my first time seeing ... 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.

Sasquatch! Festival – Monday 5/30/11 – The Gorge Amphitheatre Review, pictures and video from thenaturalstoner   Monday morning was a little bittersweet.  Of course we started with a morning drink, but Mr. Sparkly was already gone for a couple days and Phishbeard was unable to stay for one last blow out, so I rocked Monday at the Gorge solo.  I had company from our neighbors of course, and the day turned out to be a total success.  I got to meet an artist I really ...

A Day To Remember w/ Bring Me The Horizon, Pierce The Veil & We Came As Romans 03/18/11 The Rapids Theatre - Niagara Falls, NY  In a race against time, I ran in clogs unfit for a mosh pit, making my way to the will call window to pick up my meet and greet passes for A Day To Remember. Already upset by the fact that I was 25 minutes late, I was further disappointed to learn that the meet and greet with ADTR was ... Read More

Far 05/21/10 The Troubadour - West Hollywood, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com I was one of the lucky ones.  December 1997: I went to see Deftones at The Edge in Palo Alto, CA.  While Deftones were nothing short of amazing, the true reward of that night was being introduced to the band Far.  In the weeks that followed that show, I picked up "Water & Solutions" and it has been in heavy rotation ever since.  Like most Far fans, I grew angry over the last ...

Brand New w/ Manchester Orchestra/The Builders & The Butchers 10/17/2009 - The Palladium: Hollywood, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito! It is pure dumb luck that I ever gave Brand New a chance.  Sent on assignment to check in on the emerging y’alt rock hipster scene coming out of Portland, OR, I ended up watching Brand New steal a poorly planned festival gig from two veteran alt rock bands.  With an outstanding new album called Daisy I headed into my old stomping grounds to finally experience ...

Warped Tour 2008 Seaside Park - Ventura, CA 06/22/08 Words/Photos/Videos by Justin (With Warped Tour kicking off this week, and things a tad slow here I figured we would look back at my experience on the long running festival last summer.  Note, this first appeared on MTVnews.com) A good rock festival is very similar to a good meal at a buffet. If planned correctly, you can get a nice sample of everything you love, try something new, and hopefully avoid items that you simply don't agree ... Read More
