Phish  - Aaron's Amphitheatre, Atlanta, GA - 8/25/12 Words/Photos by Jakob Ross Phish Drop Bombs and Blow Minds in Atlanta The last time I was truly blown away by a band was when I saw Phish for the first time at Bonnaroo. They played what Reverend Justito refers to as a "greatest hits set", playing songs like Down With Disease, Sample In a Jar, Cavern, and Tweezer. While that set was great for a beginner such as myself, some hardcore phans probably wouldn't give it ... Read More

Jason Mraz - 8/18/12 - Aaron's Amphitheatre, Atlanta Words by Jakob Ross "Tour Is a Four Letter Word" Jason Mraz Invites Atlanta to Keep Calm and Wear Fedoras Pop music comes and goes. Some songs stand the test of time, others go away after a few months or, in some cases, after a few weeks. That's just the way it goes in the crazy business of music. One of the most popular songs of the past decade or so is 2008's "I'm Yours," which you can ... Read More

311 Bring Unity to Atlanta With a Little Help From Their Friends One band that I've been interested in seeing for a couple years now is 311. And I finally got that chance when I purchased tickets to this show with my own money. I'm fairly positive that this is the sixth installment of 311's Unity Tour, although I could be wrong. I know that last year's Unity Tour featured Sublime w/ Rome And Lambert which I missed because we were out of town ... Read More

PARTY IN THE PARK feat. Flaming Lips w/ Young the Giant and AWOLNATION Words by Jakob Ross, Videos by Jakob and Scott Ross 5/19/12 Throughout the past decade or so, one band has been singled out as the greatest live band of all time. Not Foo Fighters, not Rolling Stones, and not Cage the Elephant; I'm talking about The Flaming Lips. The psychedelic/indie-space group who hail from Oklahoma have built up a reputation as a must-see band, either at festivals or at their own headlining gigs. You're ... Read More

Mastodon, Opeth & Ghost 05/12/12 Masquerade  Music Park/Atlanta, GA Words by JakobRoss424 Millions of years ago, before civilization existed outside of Mexico, the Aztecs (because screw the Mayans) predicted that one day, a tour would come along that would relentlessly and brutally destroy any town in its path. This tour would be known as the Heritage Hunter tour, featuring Opeth and Mastodon touring in support of their respective 2011 releases, Heritage and The Hunter. Opening for them would be the mighty Ghost, who hail from ... Read More

Enter Shikari  4/1/12 The Masquerade - Atlanta, GA Words/Photos by Jakob Ross Enter Shikari Let All Hell Break Loose in Atlanta Enter Shikari are impossible to put into one genre. If music were a Linnaean system of classification, Enter Shikari would have its own Kingdom. They combine elements of post-hardcore groups like Refused and Every Time I Die with the political influence of Atari Teenage Riot and the electronic backbeat of The Prodigy with a little dubstep thrown in for good measure. A few weeks ago, I ... Read More

Atlanta Announces Initial Lineup For The New "Party In The Park" Festival   As you may or may not know, I'm living in Georgia now.

It's unclear whether more bands will be announced. The show will take place Saturday May 19 at Olympic Centennial Park ... Read More

As you may or may not know, I love reggae and most of its sub-genres. Be it white-guy frat reggae (ok, maybe not that kind) or older black-gentlemen reggae, it's just fun music to listen to and get the spirits up. So one can imagine how psyched I was to see Fishbone, one of the most underrated live bands of the past century (Beethoven gets the number one spot for the past three centuries. Dude puts on a great show). Fishbone have been ... Read More

 Phish wrapped up the first leg of their 2010 summer tour with two smoking shows down south in Atlanta Georgia.  Leg one of the recently reunited bands tour featured three key themes:  Great new songs (Dr. Gabel is my favorite so far), crazy rare bust outs (including Alumni Blues/Letter To Jimmy Page and the first Fuck Your Face since 1987) and the craziest amount of random covers since 1988 (The Beatles, Neutral Milk Hotel and Tom Waits have all had their songs ...
