Music on every block. People swarming in the streets, checking out a Mini Cooper driving around in […]
Nashville’s known to be a mecca of highly talented musicians, all coming together in one central place. Some are rock ‘n rollers, most are country… yet some are of a classification all their own. Enter, Qarreo. What can only be described as ‘ethereal eclectic’, with hints of dreampop, ambient, hip hop and jazz, Qarreo continues […]

It was a cold and frigid night in Nashville this past Tuesday as I made my way to one of the hottest venues in the city, Brooklyn Bowl. It would be a new experience for me, as this is the one place in the city I had yet to see a show. One part bowling […]

Angels & Airwaves packed the house at SOMA San Diego on November 7th, marking an epic conclusion to the Lifeforms 2021 Tour.

(Soon, the band changed their name […]
Imagine no gravity… floating weightless and untethered inside a capsule filled with cotton candy… sipping drinks out of a hollowed-out pineapple, looking out a window at the earth below on your way to outer space. You are relaxed and at ease with your place in the universe. That, fittingly, is how I would describe the […]

CHVRCHES, a Scottish synth-pop trio (consisting of Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty) from Glasgow, rocked The Pageant on a cold December night in St. Louis.
