Why not?

Photos by G. Johnny Marr Johnny Fuckin' Marr!  The guitar god from The Smiths and Electronic has a solo album out called "The Messenger" and he performed a sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on March 3, 2013 to promote it.  Johnny Marr didn't sing when he was with The Smiths, so many people may not know that he is both great on guitar and vocals.  The show was epic on so many levels.  Of course, the final song featured former Smiths [...]

Click to view slideshow. It was once The Griswolds' dream to headline at the Oxford Art Factory after several times supporting other bands. But it was more than a dream for their final, headlining Australian show, in their hometown, before their overseas tour — to be sold out. Out of the eleven times I've seen them, I have no doubt that this lucky eleventh time, the 3rd May, was their absolute best performance. Supporting them were Oceanics and Panama — unfortunately I didn't get a chance to catch Oceanics as they were on rather early, but [...]

Wanee Festival @ Spirit of Suwannee Music Park - April 18 - 20 Words and Photos: Rex Thomson True artistic expression comes from within and, like the music of the Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic and their friends on the lineup of this year's Wanee Music Festival , stands the test of time.

Photos and words by Sam Saturday Up until this week I was still riding the post-Coachella comedown. As it wore off, I needed a fix of some good ole LA jams to ring in my ears. There couldn’t have been a better way to get that fix than with NO, So Many Wizards, and The Dead Ships at Bootleg Bar. Surprisingly, the three gents of The Dead Ships went on first and played to a sparse crowd. Even so, Devlin, Chris, and Al delivered a solid stream of scratchy guitar and moody howls. So Many [...]

A packed Fillmore brought out all sorts of people for BRMC.

Photos by Debi Del Grande "I got my headphones on, do you?" a sign read as Little Boots (aka Victoria Christina Hesketh) went over and borrowed the holder of said sign's headphones for a bit. Despite technical difficulties, Little Boots forged on with beats from her latest Nocturnes as fans danced the night away at The Echoplex as Brit Week continued. She mentioned she will be back in September. Get your glows ready. Hot female openers Feathers did not disappoint as no-holds-barred Avan Lava poured its sexiness on the crowd. [...]

Photos and words by Scott Sheff The get-up of surgical masks and scrubs may be a tongue-in-cheek poke at its own name (and homage to bands Crime and The Residents) , but the eclectic sounds of Liverpool’s post-punk revival /noise rock band Clinic were delivered with surgical precision Wednesday night at The Troubadour. With lead singer Ade Blackburn’s distinct voice and the band’s use of unique, non-conventional instruments such as a harmonium and melodica, the live experience is nothing short of enthralling and infectious. Early arrivers were treated to two bands ready to bust onto [...]

The Black Keys and the Flaming Lips, who released a 73 split for Record Store Day 2009, are currently on a little mini tour together. Last night, they played their penultimate show in Atlanta, performing at outdoor venue Aaron's Ampitheatre At Lakewood. We sent Matthew Smith to check out the action.

Photos and Video by G. Tom Odell Several months ago, I saw British singer Tom Odell's first US show .  I was blown away watching the 21 year old singer who at times channels Thom Yorke, Chris Martin and Tom Waits.  Needless to say, I was very excited to see Tom Odell on his second trip to New York where he performed at Bowery Ballroom on May 2, 2013.  The show opened with folk/rock singer Jeremy Messersmith who got the crowd in good mood with [...]
