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

Slash Takes Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators To Kimmel Last year,  Slash went all "Carlos Santana" on us, and released his first solo album, with exclusively guest singers. May 22nd of this year is the set date for the release of "Apocalyptic Love" and you'd think "Wow, cool new Slash solo record"..

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. While I would later ponder just how drunk Jonah Hill was, the thing that stuck with me was Kimmel sharing a story about ½ of the shows musical guest – The Crystal Method. 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. And if the song titles—"I Fink U Freeky" and "Fatty Boom Boom"—and the lyrics aren't proof enough that the members of this group are clinically insane, then just check out this interview they did with an online Seattle magazine. So ... Read More

In two weeks' time, I'll be journeying to Atlanta to witness influential reggae/ska/funk kings Fishbone playing live, mostly to support their most recent documentary "Everyday Sunshine," which you can purchase on iTunes. Before they set out on a short tour of the south, the 'Bone rocked the stage at JKL, first with classic track "Everyday Sunshine" off their 1991 album "The Reality of My Surroundings." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk7s7FtCGSI Then they broke into their most recent hit "Crazy Glue," which was quickly prefaced by the hook/chorus from their ...

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

Deftones Jimmy Kimmel Bud Light Concert Stage - Hollywood, CA Words/Camera Phone Photos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com I know many folks who claim Twitter is for losers.  I happen to disagree.  I know this is false because I am a winner.  Having won tickets for the likes of Mastodon and STS9 on the 140 character social network, I was lucky enough to pull off a personal coup this week.  Already thrilled by the news that the band would be closing the side stage of the 2010 ...

  Stone Temple Pilots were the music guest on the May 26th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.  Supporting their brand new self-titled record - the band played a rather lackluster version of the lead single "Between The Lines" before dipping into the back catalogue for "Big Empty." Hopefully the band is in better shape next weekend when we pay them a visit as part of the 2010 KROQ Weenie Roast. One final note:  Is it just me, or is Weiland looking more and more like ex bandmate ... Read More

So when my friend Adam called me saying he had snagged some of the free tix that Jimmy Kimmel Live was ... Read More
