Event Reviews
Crime In Stereo
Crime In Stereo may have been just an opening act on The Chariot's tour, but in Orlando they played as if they were the main event. Jen Cray made it out for the Saturday matinŠ¹e show.
Flogging Molly
St. Patrick's Day is upon us and whether you're of Irish descent or not, this time of year is always appropriate for taking in a Flogging Molly concert. Jen Cray joined the party on their annual Green 17 Tour in Orlando.
Langerado Festival
Langerado is no longer just for fans of jam bands. Now in its sixth year, the Florida festival has expanded into a four day event that scored R.E.M. and the Beastie Boys as headliners. Jen Cray spent some time in the Everglades swamplands to join in on the party.
NOFX
NOFX is one of the last true California punk bands to not only still make music, but also still sell out shows. Jen Cray was just another fan inside the House of Blues when the band plowed through Orlando recently.
The Audition
Brittany Sturges finds redemption in a stark Philly church basement. The Audition proves itself a saving grace.
The Country Slashers
Orlando has got a punk scene that most don't even realize exists. The Country Slashers are one of the best to occupy this eclectic underground world of rowdy rock 'n' roll. Jen Cray caught up with them at The Social, alongside another pair of eye opening local acts.
The Ettes
The Ettes chose Winter Park, Florida's Park Ave CDs to debut their new limited edition yellow vinyl release, Look at Life Again Soon. Jen Cray didn't need a turntable to hear their songs live.
The High Court
The High Court's fans were out in full force to welcome their hometown band and the rest of the American Gladitour to the Trocadero. Brittany Sturges finds out what the fuss is all about.
The Loved Ones
The Loved Ones had no idea they had so many fans in Orlando. Jen Cray was happy to find that she wasn't the only adult in town who has a soft spot for melodic punk.
Van Halen
Christopher Long joined 14,999 other fans at the St. Pete Times Forum for Van Halen's reunion show -- sorta.
Wilco
Wilco's February 20 performance eclipsed the Moon's. Chris Catania caught them at the Riviera, under a sky blue hometown sky.
