There are a few things you can learn from going to BFD, Live 1052s annual concert at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. Among these are that people will wait in huge lines to spin any prize wheel, it can take over an hour to go from the highway exit to a parking space, and there's [...] The post Show Review: Live 1052s BFD at Shoreline Amphitheater, 5/19/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

The annual KROQ Weenie Roast can be a pretty predictable affair — the rock radio giant's favorite bands playing their rock radio hits — but the early summer affair is often good for a surprise or two. And so it was at the 21st annual Weenie Roast on Saturday at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, when Stone Temple Pilots showed up as the surprise guest and Linkin Park's Chester Bennington showed up as the fill-in for STP's troubled vocalist Scott Weiland. Bennington sang several of STP's hits and the new song "Out of Time." The rest of [...]

Fitz and the Tantrums released their 2nd full-length album last week. More Than Just A Dream , picks up right where their excellent debut, Pickin' Up The Pieces left off. It's more of that unique neo-soul meets indie-pop sound, but it's different enough that it doesn't feel like more of the same. "The Walker" is probably my favorite song of the album so far and one that I just can't help but dance to every time I hear it. And my 3 week old son loves it too. Putting on that song [...]

As summer approaches, the number of new releases from a variety of well-known, and some lesser-known, band and artists, will begin to increase. This week is sort of one of those weeks because it's still early enough in the spring to get a good roll started and ride it through the summer.

photo by Renata Steiner Ever since their first show in December 2008, Fitz and the Tantrums have established themselves as one of the hardest working bands on the circuit today. In between the release of their 2010 debut Pickin' Up The Pieces and their sophomore record, More Than Just A Dream (out this week!), the Los Angeles soul sextet embarked on multiple international tours, criss-crossing North America a few times over in the process. After road testing some of the new material last year (including multiple stops in Seattle), the [...]
