Event Reviews

The Sounds

Jun 23, 2009

The Sounds take a night off from their opening stint on No Doubt's big tour to seduce an excited Orlando audience, Jen Cray among them.

Big Business

Jun 19, 2009

Big Business delivered a ::beep:: of a rock show in Jacksonville, according to Scott Adams, even if the majority of the audience was too busy texting one another to have realized it.

Alkaline Trio

Jun 18, 2009

Alkaline Trio can always be counted on to bring the same consistent formula of pop punk goodness to every show. Jen Cray, alongside a packed House of Blues audience in Orlando, contemplated whether or not their consistency is predictable, or comforting.

Papa Roach

Jun 17, 2009

Whoever says rock stars are dead hasn't seen Papa Roach lately. Their recent Orlando appearance with RED was a true-blue, rock and and roll spectacle!

Cursive

Jun 16, 2009

Cursive sold out two intimate shows at The Social in Orlando recently. Paul Lucas was among the lucky who got in on the fun.

Gavin Rossdale

Jun 12, 2009

Gavin Rossdale may be a musical shapeshifter (Bush, Institute, solo), but he never fails to entertain a crowd. At his recent Orlando show, Jen Cray was bowled over by Mr. Gwen Stefani, and swept away completely by opening band Nico Vega.

Horrorpops

Jun 10, 2009

Danish psychobilly trio Horrorpops bring the party, in exchange for free booze, to Orlando. Jen Cray was deep within the glorious madness.

Camera Obscura

Jun 9, 2009

In an era of $100 tickets for has-been arena shows, twenty bucks doesn't buy much entertainment. Or does it? Steve Stav found that his thin wallet went a long way at Seattle's Showbox, in a night capped by Glasgow sensation Camera Obscura.

Alternative Press Tour 2009

Jun 8, 2009

Alternative Press Magazine has hit the road with 3OH!3, The Maine, and Family Force Five topping off a youth-friendly bill that our own Paul Lucas jumped on board for when the tour dropped down in Orlando.

Kings of Leon

Jun 8, 2009

Kings of Leon are well on their way to dominating the rock world here in their own country. Jen Cray caught their subtle, but satisfying, show in Orlando recently.

The Gaslight Anthem

Jun 4, 2009

Jen Cray flings off a bit of friendly vomit at The Social -- who cares? Enduring horrible bodily fluids is but a small price to pay when The Gaslight Anthem's in town.

M. Ward

Jun 2, 2009

M. Ward suspends time and lifts Chicago, and Chris Catania, up in the warm embrace of his timeless music.

Fall Out Boy

Jun 1, 2009

Chartbuster Fall Out Boy returned to the Central Florida concert stage to wow a teenaged Orlando audience with their special brand of punky/pop. Christopher Long wasn't so impressed.

The Ting Tings

May 25, 2009

Jen Cray thinks that this latest Next Big Thing from the UK just might live up to the hype.

Riverboat Gamblers

May 21, 2009

Packing enough punk 'n' roll to wake up a sleepy Florida Friday afternoon, Riverboat Gamblers plowed through a matinee set at The Social that left Jen Cray sweaty and smiling.

Butch Walker

May 20, 2009

The salacious details of pop messiah Butch Walker's recent sold-out Orlando concert, as told by willing follower Christopher Long.

Todd Rundgren

May 18, 2009

Todd Rundgren's "Arena" tour passes through Orlando. The small show is so cozy, our own Carl F Gauze feels like he's visiting a long lost friend.

The Faint

May 15, 2009

Two similar and familiar bands collided as The Faint and Ladytron shared a co-headlining bill that included a pair of sold-out stops in New York City. With more black attire and keyboards than one could count, the two acts offered career-spanning setlists filled with their distinctive synth-pop, post-punk and new-wave sounds. Kiran Aditham witnessed night two of the dark, dancefloor delights for himself.

New Kids on the Block

May 15, 2009

Fifteen years after New Kids on the Block (or NKOTB, if you please) attempted their premature comeback following their late '80s fame, they're back on tour with a new album to push. This time the fans, and even Jen Cray, have shown up.
