I recently got a chance to go to a Matisyahu concert here in San Diego but what I ended up finding was something even more kosher. I got to the concert pretty late and didn't get to hear all the other bands that played before the featured guest but luckily the first group I heard play that night just so happened to be one of the best performances I've ever witnessed. The group i'm talking about is Vokab Kompany . They are local to the San Diego area and definitely rep their city very well. When i [...]

What's old is new; what was once out is now in... it's too hard to keep track anymore. Are Huey Lewis & the News really making a cultural comeback? Like many bands from their era (I'm looking at you, Journey), the News are benefiting from a resurgance, due in part from television and film exposure. Last year, they were tapped by Judd Apatow to write the theme to Pineapple Express and then Chuck used several of their hits to great effect during their second season. They'll likely be playing one of those hits (let's guess "Power [...]

"Message in a Bottle" is pretty much the best Police song ever. The 1979 single has been covered by everyone from Matisyahu to Set Your Goals to Graveworm . I was just went a dubstep remix of the track by Fresh Direct. Fresh Direct flips the track in trance like dance instrumental.

The Pixies are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of the classic 1989 album, Doolittle , with a massive tour featuring a stunning visual production. The US tour kicks off on Wednesday in Hollywood, and the band will put their production on display on The Tonight Show stage on Friday night, While many wonder when the alt-rock legends will record something new, the band seems fully content to coast on their elevated past, which isn't a bad thing. If they can't create new songs that fit in the canon, then it's [...]
Relatively slow week coming up in Chicago, at least in terms of shows I'm interested in seeing. The two best shows (for me, at least) are both on Thursday - Future of The Left at Bottom Lounge and The Jet Age at Beat Kitchen.* That said, I personally only need a couple of good shows this week, as I'm headed down to Austin on Friday for this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest . More on that later in the week, but for now I leave you with one word... Danzig [...]

Like New Year's Eve , Halloween is another holiday that a lot of bands choose to celebrate in style. There's just something about mixing the live concert experience with all the fun and choas of Halloween that really brings out the freaks. While most bands typically play into the Halloween vibe in some way, touring bands often approach Halloween as an opportunity to really create a unique live music event. Just as we did with our New Year's Eve concert round-up , we've compiled a list of Halloween concerts that will be going on this weekend (see below [...]
