What’s more enigmatic than the mind of Les Claypool? The mind of Les Claypool when he’s hanging out with Sean Ono Lennon. Formally The Claypool Lennon Delirium, the two eccentric masterminds have released three studio albums and one EP together — with the latest LP being everything we’ve waited so long for. Entitled The Great […]
I’ve always held firm to the belief that if a band moves you, truly moves you, you owe it to yourself to see them more than once. Some artists just need to be witnessed repeatedly; each performance peels back a layer of something you didn’t know you needed. I feel like bands like Phish, The […]

Touring in support of their latest album Mahal, the three-piece band presented a set that blurred the lines between synth, funk, and instrumentals […]
Oh, how I do love bands that bend genres… Not normally an indie person, per se, I’m more of an ‘alt’ rocker (yes, there’s a difference). But if you add a little psychedelic reverb, echoes… a mix of acoustic and electric, you’ve got me hooked. And that’s exactly where I find myself with Wilderado‘s latest […]
Calling all evolved Earthlings! It’s almost time to meet in the Valley of the Unbroken Horizon (aka, Moreno Beach in Perris, California) for yet another transcendent experience at Desert Daze — one of the last true music festivals left on this planet. Originating over a decade ago, Desert Daze is an annual get-together of like-minded […]
Chicano Batman has never been a band to conform to the usual.

North Carolina-based improvisational rock band Big Something came roaring into St Louis on April 18th and I could not have been more excited. In 2018, I was fortunate enough to help run sound for The Big What? — Big Something’s self-produced jam band festival thrown in the North Carolina hills. When I first learned about […]
There have been few rock geniuses since the genre’s inception — and we can argue all day who in fact qualifies within this elite 1%. But I’m sure most would agree that David Bowie places somewhere near the top. Although this musician has left this planet for his next transmission, his legacy lives on through […]

It has been a whole half century since David Bowie released his seventh full-length album Pin Ups on October 19th, 1973… and little did he know at the time the best was yet to come. David Bowie, a legend of alternative in his own right, struck gold with Pin Ups: a collection of cover songs, […]
