Lisa Marie Presley Brings 'Over Me' to Jimmy Kimmel Live Lisa Marie Presley performed last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. We are going to rip off Tosh.0 and put 30 seconds on the clock: Tom Petty called he wants the outfits from the Don’t Come Around Here No More video back. Not even Jack White can make this listenable. This went way better than her audition for Dancing With The Stars. When does she start singing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5g5p3-Rvgs&list=UUa6vGFO9ty8v5KZJXQxdhaw&index=3&feature=plcp Yeah these were all rather lame but this performance is so bad ...

Silversun Pickups Serve Up 'Bloody Mary' For Jimmy Kimmel As yes there I was last night getting into bed after watching my beloved San Francisco Giants defeat the dreaded Los Angeles Dodgers out at Chavez Latrine. The television was already on and there was Johnny Depp plugging the new Warner Bros. Pictures smash hit Dark Shadows. I enjoyed his brief talk with Jimmy Kimmel Live host Jimmy Kimmel about him and Hunter S. Thompson sabotaging Don Johnson. Then I fell asleep before Silversun ... Read More

Kasabian 04/19/12 Bud Lite Concert Stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justitio There is a line from the Kasabian song “Days Are Forgotten” that has been running through my head since I awoke this morning. Perhaps this line is here because I heard the band sound check the song no less than six times yesterday; perhaps it is there because of a deeper meaning? Hell, it is possible it is there for both reasons. The line is as follows: “Cos I’m ... Read More

Kasabian w/ The Dear Hunter 04/17/12 The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Standing along the fence that separates a parking lot from Hollywood Blvd I watched as a tour bus slowly backed up and parked next to an 18 wheeler. With doors for The Fonda Theater not open for another two hours I felt like a teenager again as I watched as each member of the band exited the bus and entered the venue. In a day and age where I ...

The Joy Formidable Rock Jimmy Kimmel Live There I was in bed again last night (shocking I know). MLB Network once again was blacked out so I found myself watching my late night back up Jimmy Kimmel Live. Having enjoyed Jonah Hill promoting 21 Jump Street the night before (only to fall asleep before The Crystal Method rocked with Martha Reeves), it was Tatum Channing’s turn to promote the upcoming cinematic extravaganza. I fell asleep around the second guest whose name I don't ... Read More

The Crystal Method Team Up With Martha Reeves For Jimmy Kimmel Live Typically I watch MLB Network as I fall asleep. But with a local teams game being featured the channel was blacked out so instead I decided to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live.

As it turns out, Ken Jordan fired ... Read More

About two weeks ago, South African rave-rap trio Die Antwoord performed their new single "I Fink U Freeky" on the Letterman stage in New York. Last night, however, they two songs from their new album "Ten$ion"—including "Freeky"—in Los Angeles on the Jimmy Kimmel stage.

But none of that really matters when you end your busy Monday in Hollywood, CA enjoying a free in-store performance from Nada Surf. With ... Read More

Grouplove Pay Jimmy Kimmel Live A Visit We here at Concert Confessions have been trying to see Grouplove for a while. As you may recall, our founder Reverend Justito attempted to catch the band on the Pan Handle stage at the 2011 Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. However with a massive crowd assembled at the solar powered stage, he couldn’t even get close enough to hear the band let alone see them. Then our youngest and quite possibly brightest contributor Jakob Ross caught ... Read More

Pixies 11/19/11 Music Box @ Fonda - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito Ever since the Pixies reunited back in 2004 I have been trying to catch them live.

Blitzen Trapper 11/17/11 Music Box at Fonda - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito On the wild ride that is life as an amateur rock journalist, Blitzen Trapper has served as my training wheels for much of the journey.

While I had taken plenty of photos at shows, I had never been sent ... Read More

 St. Vincent 10/18/11 Music Box at Fonda - Hollywood, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito It was towards the end of the set when someone in the crowd screamed “You are a really good guitar player.” I was thinking the exact same thing, yet was not drunk enough to scream it out at Annie Erin Clark, better known as St. Vincent.
