Event Reviews
Be Your Own Pet
Be Your Own Pet is stealing hearts and stages on the Nylon Summer Music Tour. Jen Cray caught their Orlando show and found that she was not immune to their charms.
Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams' 2008 tour will take his band to stadiums, arenas and amphitheaters worldwide, but his show at B.B. King's Blues Club in Orlando, Florida was an acoustic solo set. Christopher Long was up close and personal for the Unplugged event in O-Town.
Nada Surf
Brittany Sturges joins hundreds of Philadelphians at the Trocadero, all champing at the bit to see Nada Surf. Who says there are no second acts in American life?
R.E.M.
For his first live review, Tim Wardyn brought his wife along to one of the biggest concerts of the year in one of the best venues in the nation. Once the smoke cleared (literally), one band played like it was 1985 and another acquired a new fan.
Reno Divorce
Reno Divorce has called Denver home for over a decade, but their roots in the Orlando punk scene of the '90s are not forgotten. Their recent Orlando gig is a homecoming for the band, their family, and friends, and for long-time fan, Jen Cray.
Summer Camp 2008
Chris Catania gets a raucous introduction to the summer camp experience, by way of Wayne Coyne's glorious teeth.
The Honda Civic Tour
Brittany Sturges pulls on a pair of rain boots to check out the 2008 Honda Civic Tour at Philly's Festival Pier, where she is once again surprised by the lineup.
The Kooks
At the Kooks' Chicago tour stop, Chris Catania sees that there may indeed be something wrong with a lil' (too much) bump n' grind.
The Sword
The Sword recently gave Orlando fans, including Jen Cray, a celebratory night of no-nonsense heavy metal.
Uh Huh Her
When electro-pop band Uh Huh Her brought its madly selling-out tour to Orlando, Jen Cray not only caught the live show, but also sat down with the girls to discuss touring before the debut album is even released.
Vampire Weekend
NY indie quartet, Vampire Weekend, gives Orlando its all during one Florida debut Phillip Haire is bloody lucky he didn't miss.
