Voltaic: Songs from the Volta Tour
(25 June 2009) - The queen of her own stratum, Bjork's talent is the type where we've come to expect the unexpected. As is the case with all her projects, I've been gleefully indulging in her new multimedia undertaking Voltaic as if I were discovering the Icelandic chanteuse all over again. Closing the chapter of the past powerful two years of her career, this reently-released live album is...

Dr. Dog
(03 April 2007) - Dr. Dog, a retro-psychedelic rock band out of Philadelphia, is currently touring throughout much of the U.S making a stop at the Bowery Ballroom in New York this Thursday, 5 April 2007. Playing songs from their recent release, We All Belong, their neo-60's sound is authentic, new and should not be missed.

Beck Live
(10 October 2005) - Known for his artistic collaborations with the likes of Tim Hawkinson and Marcel Dzama on his album art and working with Paperrad on a recent video, Beck's concerts, with live video projections, acoustic versions of songs, and props, also embrace a multi-disciplinary approach to music. Beck's mix of inspiration and laidback California style showed up last week in NYC like when he performed of...

Giant Drag
(16 September 2005) - The unofficial inaugural CMJ prom was held last night in NYC and featured LA-based Giant Drag rolling with the punches on stage. In spite of bouncers mysteriously removing their monitors midway through their set, fierce lead singer Annie Hardy kept up her dry jokes in between strumming and singing her way through indie pop-meets-shoegaze songs. Micah Calabrese, held it down with her, deftly drumming...

Small Stakes
(25 August 2005) - If Sufjan Stevens didn't seem well-loved enough already (recent sold out shows in New York required the addition of two extra nights for a total of five dates), he also has the privlege of Oakland-based artist Jason Munn silkscreening posters for his shows. Munn's studio, Small Stakes, churns out posters for the likes of Stevens, Joanna Newsom, Death Cab for Cutie, Built to Spill,...

Stones Hotel?
(25 August 2005) - After countless tours, millions of albums sold, drug busts, blood transfusions, extramarital affairs and more, you would think the Rolling Stones would run out of ideas to keep things exciting. But one look at the stage setup for their current “Bigger Bang” world tour (yes, it’s amazing that they’re actually able to get on stage and rock the shit out of stadiums the world...

Plein Air Movies in Barcelona
(05 July 2005) - In BCN (as local expats call it) I've experienced some of the hottest, stickiest Summer nights. That kind of weather doesn't stop Spanish partiers, but sometimes the best way to cope is to do nothing but lounge outdoors screen-side. Cine Sin Techo is a free alfresco series held in Barri Gótic, a section of narrow streets and tall, crumbling buildings that is part of...

Phoenix Rising
(07 June 2005) - It’s funny when people who like music, but aren’t necessarily totally into music, inform me about a new band. Such was the case last week when Josh, the editor of this website, wrote to ask if I have ever heard of this group called Phoenix. I emailed him back with some sort of smart-ass response that went something like, “Have I ever heard of...

Something Glorious Is Happening
(04 April 2005) - A band has to be hot to sell out a decent-sized venue – in advance – the same week its debut album drops, not to mention selling out in numerous cities. It doesn’t hurt that they played five packed shows at South By Southwest. Nor does being featured in a number of magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly,...

Live: Kaiser Chiefs and The Changes in Chicago
(29 March 2005) - Last Thursday night, Kaiser Chiefs visited Chicago and I have to say, it was sad to see them go. The band stormed the stage at the Double Door, thundered through its hour-long set and left almost as quickly as they arrived. When I got Kaiser Chiefs’ CD a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure if I was going to write about them (don’t get...

Big in '05 - The Bravery
(10 March 2005) - Bravery. Hailing from New York, the Bravery evokes ‘80s New Wave that you can rock and dance to with a look that says they really like the Clash -- except on days when they're feeling Andy Warhol. The band got its start more or less as a backlash to the city’s electroclash scene, which singer Sam Endicott has openly admitted to hating –- at...

Superstar DJ: Ben Watt
(09 March 2005) - Jay Hannan, another stellar DJ. This 2-CD set was a direct result of the Lazy Dog club night they put on every Sunday in Notting Hill in London – and it was some of the best deep house produced in the late ‘90s. They followed this up with a second volume and then sadly, after five years, announced the dissolution of Lazy Dog to...

Kasabian's Rockin' the House
(07 March 2005) - Kasabian. Their self-titled debut drops on Tuesday, although itís been out in the UK since last fall. These guys, from Leicester in the middle of the country, have a cocksure attitude that rivals the grand swagger of the Gallaghers. Their music reflects both ë60s psychedelia and late ë80s/early ë90s acid house pop in the form of Primal Scream. I saw them a few nights ago...

Have a Green Day
(08 February 2005) - They’re being credited for saving rock, have seven Grammy nods under their belt for “American Idiot” and may surprise many at this year’s ceremony. And now they’re going on tour. Is this a great time for Green Day fans or what? Pre-sale for the now-grown-up Berkeley punks’ U.S. shows become available this Friday at the band’s website. They’re currently on tour in the UK...

All Hail the Kings of Leon
(04 February 2005) - Itís been some time since weíve been treated to good Southern Fried Rock ñ so we welcome, with open arms, the Kings of Leon. Like the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd before them, the Kings of Leon stick to family: the band comprises the three Followill brothers and their first cousin, who all hail from Nashville (also home to one of my favorite singer/songwriters Josh Rouse...
