Roughly fifty thousand fans packed the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Coliseum to see Roger Waters put on a grand spectacle of the classic Pink Floyd album The Wall . Utilizing 42 projectors, The Wall served as a massive movie screen projecting various images while measuring three stories tall and 140 yards long. It is a live concert experience like none other. Check out the pictures above and the setlist below. Read More...
With Gingrich's devastating Floridian loss, once again I feel justified for naming this hardcore festival news roundup column Pit Romney. Here's what's new... Don't sell the Midwest short, as Chicago-based fest The Rumble has declared much of its 2012 lineup, with classic headline acts Negative Approach and Murphy's Law topping a bill with scene favorites [...]
Whips/Chains features Coliseum 's Ryan Patterson alongside Ben Sears - who also plays with Ryan in Black God - and Will Allard of Xerxes . The three-piece unit delivers two and a half minutes of pure ire that should be more than comfortable to anyone familiar with Ryan's work in Coliseum prior to the phenomenal (but entirely different) House With a Curse . Ben Sears told me that a five-song EP is in [...]
Coliseum - Waiting (Too Late) Coliseum - The Fiery Eye With seven (mostly) active members on our lil' Liquid Jesus team (plus a handful of in-the-know affiliates and buddies), I think it's safe to say that we've got a fairly diverse collective taste in music... I mean, jeez - have you wandered your way through any of our PLAYLISTS lately? Coliseum and their new, mostly J. Robbins-produced Parasites EP is one of those searing, anti-anthemic, [...]
One thing's for damn sure: Coliseum know what they're doing. They've been around long enough and they've seen parts of the world some of us (myself included) still dream of visiting; needles to say, the notoriety they've built up has been well earned. That worldliness, minus the pretentious undertones you might expect from a band [...]
As we mentioned earlier in the week, Roger Waters will return once again to perform The Wall Live in Los Angeles in 2012. Following his jaw dropping show at Staples Center last year, Roger Waters will now be playing at...
Last time I wrote about Louisville hardcore/rawkers Coliseum a commenter tough-guy by the name of Jesse Radon accused me of only having listened to their most recent album, House Without a Curse, presumably because I referred to their music as a "blend of bluesy rock, metal and hardcore" (emphasis added). Hey, guess what Jesse? You're wrong! [...]
Cynic's Carbon-Based Anatomy EP highlights this week's release slate, while White Wizzard, Blut Aus Nord, Bloody Panda, Coliseum and more are also releasing new albums. Let's take a look after the jump. Bloody Panda – Summon: Invocation (self-released) Epic doom crew Bloody Panda are self-releasing an album of remixes to their 2009 album Summon. It's [...]
The new Coliseum EP tops my list this week, with Los Campesinos! right behind. The Caveman LP is also intriguing - primarily because the title is a direct reference to USWA Heavyweight Champion Koko B. Ware. Sure, you know the Birdman from the WWF, but he was just a midcard face there. And I ain't talking kayfabe. Oh yeah, there are a bunch of box sets and reissues, too. Christmas is around the corner, after all. Double oh yeah, my birthday is this Sunday. Hint , hint , [...]
We previously mentioned that Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters has planned a brand new US tour schedule to take place next year. But now we have exact details on the local Los Angeles show that is in the works. You can see "The Wall Live" when it hits the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, May 19th. Tickets for this show are set to go on sale Friday, November 18th at 10 through Ticketmaster . Ticket prices will range between $30.50 - $250.50 plus additional service fees. A Live Nation [...]
Roger Waters had recently announced a return of The Wall Live tour to Los Angeles in 2012. Last time he performed at Staples Center but now has finally announced that he will be bringing his musical event to a new...
We love the Misfits year-round, but they always seem to get some extra attention around Halloween. Today we've got not one, but TWO upcoming Misfits cover records to tell you about(plus one not new one)! First up is "We Are 8213 by VCR coming out October 31st on Riot Style Records. This release features eight Misfits classics (Attitude, Last Caress, Die, Die My Darling, Horror Business, Some Kind Of Hate, Hybrid Moments, London Dungeon, & Teenagers From Mars), and the first 500 copies will be on "face-exploding mutant colored vinyl". Preorders [...]
An unnecessary live set from two acts featuring heavy heavy heroes. Recorded at the Gainesville, Florida club, the Atlantic, this disc finds Louisville, Kentucky's Coliseum paired up with the Canadian outfit Burning Love. It's a curious partnership, one that burns a deep dark hole into the back pocket of the listener's psyche and hangs in the air with a foulness usually reserved for a bad bag of street drugs or the choking waft of a hangover. The whole dang thing kicks off with a full set...
Il nuovo lavoro dei Coliseum è Parasites , un EP di 8 canzoni che uscirà in vinile 12'' per la label Temporary Residence . L'edizione limitata (100 copie), in vinile colorato metà verde metà arancione e con la copertina firmata dall'artista Rick Froberg , sarà esclusiva di Short Killer . L'album è in uscita il 15 Novembre. Parasites per i Coliseum rappresenta il continuum del loro acclamato terzo album, House With a Curse , e la loro prima release dopo la collaborazione di successo coi Superchunk per [...]
I love Coliseum. Their blend of bluesy rock, metal and hardcore hits me in that sweet spot that just gets me going. And everything I've seen and heard about them as people suggests that they're great dudes who simply love making music, are OK with the sacrifices they've made to do so and are extremely [...]
Coliseum continues their path of creating more melodic music that still pummels your ears and this song is definitely on par then all the best tracks on House with a Curse . For the new EP Parasites , J. Robbins once again produced and Rick Froberg (Obits, Hot Snakes) provided the album art. Mp3: Coliseum - Waiting (Too Late)

And similar to the band's recent effort House with a Curse , Coliseum has roped in notable guest appearances from names like J Robbins (Jawbox, etc) and Rick Froberg (Hot Snakes, Obits); [...]
From Cropped Out's Facebook : Cropped Out aims to celebrate a select fistful of contemporary musicians, artists, and artisans whom we feel reflect a greater undercurrent of sonic, visual, and conceptual exploration. It is our intention to turn heads toward the talents of those often omitted, overlooked, or cropped out of "the big picture." These are the minds most interesting to us, the minds most capable of emerging from and quickly returning to their lightlessness, if only to be briefly met by a niche appreciation.

Photos by: Christopher Alvarez Now that electronic music raves have been forced to move on to different locations and venues, there was a huge gap in the Coliseums schedule. What better way to fill in the void than by giving Los Angeles' very own Rage Against The Machine a chance to curate their very own festival which featured Muse , Rise Against , Lauryn Hill , Immortal Technique and El Gran Silencio . You would think that with a line up like this combined with [...]
