LIVE REVIEWLydia Lunch Retrovirus @ Rickshaw Stop

The No Wave scene of 1970’s New York City was altogether bowel borne, the sickened spasm of a nihilist made nervous by the violent void of the Lower East Side. It was a pocket of time and space that knew no law nor order. Rather, it was poverty-ridden and putrid, little more than a decaying plane...

LIVE REVIEWHonduras @ The Knitting Factory

Minutes before the band gets on stage, I watch the crowd come together. For some reason at Knitting Factory, it's always a mix of people you wouldn't imagine listening to the artists playing that night, trickling in from the bar or stumbling upon a cheap show with nothing else to do.

LIVE REVIEWBombay Bicycle Club @ The Wiltern L.A.

The only thing that can really mend the wound of a lost Dodgers game in L.A. is a damn good concert. That might explain why there was a line around the block for hours leading up to Bombay Bicycle Club's set at the Wiltern on Friday, even with the first round...

LIVE REVIEWLandlady @ Death By Audio

Landlady are more like the upstairs tenant making an excessive racket than the curmudgeonly old woman banging on the ceiling with a broom handle from downstairs that their name suggests. That being said, it would hardly be out of character for the Brooklyn-based band to incorporate the...

LIVE REVIEWThe Jane Shermans @ Mercury Lounge

I've been wowed at Mercury Lounge on many an occasion, but seeing The Jane Shermans' forty-five minute set last Monday easily topped the list of performances in the tiny venue that have blown me away. Powerhouse frontwoman Eulene Sherman owned her Explorer bass through the nine song set....
