Event Reviews

Dinosaur, Jr.

Time conquers all, even famously virtriolic band implosions. Witness the recent Pixies reunion, and as Steven Garnett did, Dinosaur Jr.

Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll shushed the loudmouths at Smith's Olde Bar, much to David Whited's satisfaction.

Dropkick Murphys

The 30 minutes that Boston's Dropkick Murphys spent onstage were easily the most intense, and awe-inspiring of the Warped Tour's Orlando stop -- enough to convert Jen Cray.

Franz Ferdinand

Scottish band Franz Ferdinand made a special trip across the Atlantic for a live MTV taping at Orlando's Hard Rock Live, and Jen Cray was there.

The Neville Brothers

Irma Thomas and Raúl Midón join the Neville Brothers at National Black Arts Festival show at Woodruff Arts Center highlighting the Generation to Generation theme of this year's festival. David Whited gives us some perspective on the band's ever-changing lineup

Transplants

What do you get when you mix Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Blink 182's Travis Barker with a roadie-turned-rapper? The Transplants answer Jen Cray's question on this year's Warped Tour.
