Event Reviews
Caribou
Caribou come to Florida to repay Canada's debt for bands like Loverboy. S D Green was there to bear witness and soak up all the positive karma from this Canadian music renaissance.
Chris Cornell
Chris Cornell has taken his past out on the road, playing songs from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and his own catalog of solo work. Jen Cray stopped by the Orlando date to sample the goods.
DJ A-Trak
Chris Catania separates local hype from musical substance when he checks out rising Chicago hip-hop acts Cool Kids and Kid Sister as part of an evening curated by turntablist entrepreneur A-Trak.
Estrojam 2007
Chris Catania attends Chicago's annual Estrojam festival and finds that sisters are, indeed, doing it for themselves.
Juliette & the Licks
Celebrating Halloween in Orlando, Juliette & the Licks gave the crowd at The Social- and Jen Cray- the ultimate party.
Maroon 5/ The Hives
The Hives are opening up for Maroon 5 on the r&b act's major US tour. Jen Cray was at the Orlando date- take a guess what band brought her in.
Mute Math
When Mute Math come to town everyone should drop what they are doing and head for the show, which is exactly what Jen Cray did when this band hit Orlando.
Portugal the Man
For their second trip to Orlando in just three months time, Portugal the Man took a backseat in billing (to Rock Votolato), and quietly appeared as an opener at the same venue that they had previously sold out on their own. Jen Cray was back for a second helping of these Alaska boys.
Robbers on High Street
Dodging fights in the streets, Jen Cray made it inside The Social for a gorgeous evening of dreamy indie pop courtesy of Robbers on High Street and Great Northern.
Summerbirds In The Cellar
Summerbirds In the Cellar have developed such a large Orlando following that the cd release party for their long-awaited sophomore disc, Druids, demanded not one but two shows. Jen Cray dropped in for the early show.
The Academy Is...
The Academy Is... and the Sleeping with Giants Tour came to Philadelphia and proved that they're not your typical emo bands - Brittany Sturges does the requisite double-take..
