Alight folks here we go. Lollapalooza 2013 has revealed it's full lineup.

In the artists we care about after giving the lineup a quick skim category we list these folks: Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails ,The Cure, Ghost(not calling them B.C.!),Kendrick Lamar, ...

As 2011 reaches a close, we take a look back at the year in concerts. In volume, I probably attend the least amount of total shows per year if you pool all of the contributors here at Concert Confessions. But never the less, by years end I will have reached 23 concerts, eclipsing last years total of 20. My only personal goal is to always get out to more shows then the year before. We did that in 2011, and here's hoping ... Read More

Now it is time to kick back and enjoy the hellride of a summer that I ... Read More

Spent much of this weekend just staring around in amazement, repeating the phrase “Holy freaking God” over and over again.

Queens of the Stone Age 04/12/11 Wiltern - Los Angeles, CA Words/Photos by Reverend Justito When Queens of the Stone Age announced they were hitting the road in support of the re-release of their self-titled debut album, I knew I couldn’t miss it. After all, I am one of the few who can say they saw Joshua Homme and friends when they originally supported the debut album over a decade ago. It was a hot August night in San Francisco, and the band “opened” for ... Read More

Queens of the Stone Age & Friends 08/16/10 Music Box @ Fonda: Hollywood, CA Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com  (Note: This review was first published by MTVnews.com) On the night of October 1st, 2005, I found myself inside the Hollywood Bowl enjoying one of my favorite bands - Queens of the Stone Age as the main support to Nine Inch Nails. As smoke from the rampant forest fires across the Southland choked the autumn air, I witnessed a quick and clever set from Queens. It was also ... Read More

  This weekend I am heading out to the 2010 KROQ Weenie Roast.  In honor of seeing wonderful artists including Against Me!, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones and that cute ginger kid who just flashed her boobies on Twitter, I figured I would share some photos from my first trip to the KROQ Weenie Roast back in 2007 (long before I was regularly writing concert reviews).  I hope you enjoy - and of course you can expect full coverage of the 2010 event here ...

Autolux/Queens Of The Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails 10/01/2005 - Hollywood Bowl: Los Angeles, CA Words by Reverend Justito Editors Note:  With LA on fire once again, and tonight being the "last" time I see Nine Inch Nails, I figured it was appropriate to share with you the very first concert review I wrote (for my myspace blog).  In going back and reading this today, I was not only reminded of a wonderful night I had, but am rather amazed to see how far my writing has ...
