This was the second time I've seen Junior Boys here in Nashville. The first was at Exit/In with about 15 other people. Sonically, both times they've sounded excellent. This time however, they drew a bit bigger crowd, which made for a slightly more energetic show. Being ...

I went to a grand total of 11 concerts this year, a number which suits me just fine. There really weren't that many shows that past through town that I would say warranted spending my hard earned money on. However, I thought I would take a second to ...

I really don't know why I write these things. I suppose mostly as a way to go back and remember if an act is worth seeing again when they pass through town again. In the future I may cut them back to just a few lines, if I ...

From the time this show was announced I had gone back and forth on my willingness to go. I had previously seen the NPs with Belle and Sebastian at the Ryman a year or so ago. I thoroughly enjoyed their set, and actually enjoyed them more than BS, ...

This will probably be quite short...
Stars have been classified many times as "bedroom rock," which I am not entirely what that even means. I think it has to do with the fact that their music is not hard enough to be classified as rock, but follows a blueprint too ...

When I found out The Raveonettes were going to be in Seattle around the time I was going to be there, it only confirmed my plans to stick around for an extra day. I've followed them loosely since I first heard "Attack of the Ghost Riders," but would say ...

I always enjoy seeing shows in cities other than my own. Mainly for seeing new venues, different crowds, and usually bands that do not end up passing my direction back home. Capitol Hill on a Friday night was pretty packed as to be expected. We circled the ...
