90 miles west of Chicago, a musician at the pinnacle of his craft ascended upon the resilient town of Rockford, IL. It was the introspective rock talents of Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, with a block party right outside of the historic Coronado Theatre marking the event. Located right on Main Street, friends, fans, […]
On Friday July 18th, Incubus performed at The Venue at Thunder Valley in Lincoln, CA — one of those places where every seat in the house is a great seat! With a start time shift from 7:30 to 7pm, it was kind of a bummer for opener Paris Jackson who had to perform to an […]
The Constellation Room at The Observatory in Santa Ana has always been one of those venues where the walls seem to sweat punk rock history. On Friday night, July 11th, that intimate space became a pressure cooker of raw energy as three acts proved that punk’s spirit is alive and kicking — possibly harder than […]
On the night before his most personal album to date dropped, Tech N9ne took over the Clive Davis Theater inside the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles for an intimate night that was part deep dive, part live show, and every bit unforgettable. The June 26th event was hosted by hip hop journalist Justin Hunte, who […]
The week was off to a great start for The Pageant on Monday night, with a packed venue for Jack’s Mannequin — the show having entirely sold-out. There was a buzzing of excitement as people gathered outside to get in line and make their way to the front of the stage. The evening’s opener was […]
There is a noticeable lack of male pop stars in today’s music industry that are capable of putting on a flashy, yet fabulous performance. Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, is an artist able to do just that. The After Hours Til Dawn Tour made its way to the Bay Area for two sold-out […]
Pierce The Veil brought their much anticipated Can You Hear Me World Tour to the Kia Forum for three nights of sold-out mayhem. Night One went off without a hitch, with fans lining the block and packing the venue early for beloved openers Beach Weather and all time fan-favorites Sleeping with Sirens. The legendary venue […]
There’s something magical about catching a show at The Greek Theatre on a perfect June night in Los Angeles. The open-air venue, nestled in the Hollywood Hills, becomes the ideal backdrop for bands that know how to connect with their audience. On June 22nd, Barenaked Ladies reminded everyone why they’ve been beloved for over three […]
I’ve been a fan of Tash Sultana’s music for years and regretted missing their last nationwide tour! For that reason, attending their live show this year at The Rady Shell in San Diego was a truly special experience. Tash Sultana is not just a musician; they are a vibrant ecosystem of sound all on their […]
My first show back at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater was one for the books. Storm clouds loomed over the venue as I approached, darkening the sky while I searched for the staff parking lot and made my way to the box office. As I walked, I said a prayer to whichever god controls the weather that […]
Marking the first day of summer with a slam dunk of 90s bands is quite a way to start. At least, that was the case for me, heading into the trifecta of Barenaked Ladies with Guster and Fastball at San Diego State’s Open Air Theater (or whatever corporate name it’s called now) on June 20th! […]
On Friday, May 16th, The Used returned to the House of Blues San Diego to cap off the final night of their three-show residency in honor of the 25th Anniversary of being the greatest band of all time (their words… and ours). After performing their first two albums — The Used (2002) and In Love and […]
Night Two of The Used’s three-night run at the House of Blues San Diego was a celebration of In Love and Death — the band’s beloved 2004 album. Performing it front-to-back, The Used made a whole lot of aging Millennials happy performing the bible of post-hardcore albums two decades later. The night kicked off with […]
Los Angeles traffic is already insanity, but when protests shut down major arteries leading to Echo Park, even the most dedicated of punk fans found themselves stuck the night of June 6th, 2025. Missing opener Whoremones was a bummer, but arriving just as Spunk took the stage at The Echoplex turned out to be perfect […]
Hardy’s Jim Bob World Tour made it stop to the Savemart Center in Fresno, California. It being on a Thursday night, the end of the work day may have impacted the crowd getting to the venue on time. That said, to the few fans who did show up early, Stephen Wilson Jr. played a brilliant […]
