Event Reviews
Beats Antique
Beats Antique brought a little bit of mystical gypsy jazz fusion to Chicago. Chris Catania found himself lost in the glorious world of belly dancing and twirling bodies.
Electric Six
Electric Six set the crowd on fire at Orlando's best small club. Carl F Gauze was close enough to get singed.
Jamie Lidell
Singer/Producer Jamie Lidell plays at the EARL in Atlanta along with Twin Shadow.
LCD Soundsystem
LCD Soundsystem and Sleigh Bells turned Orlando's Hard Rock Live into the hottest dance club in Central Florida -- and did it all before 11pm on a school night! Jen Cray immersed herself in the party.
Phantogram
Phantogram transports an Orlando audience, including Jen Cray, into another dimension with the help of some tribal trance music, a slide show, and a whole lot of strobe lights.
Slayer
Three of thrash metal's infamous Big Four recently teamed up and proved to be the mightiest force to hit South Florida since Hurricane Andrew. Chris Long was on hand for the American Carnage Tour with Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax.
Ted Leo
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists wet an Orlando stage with the sweat of their high energy performance, but opening band Screaming Females were just as impressive for Jen Cray.
The Flaming Lips
A three-ring psychedelic circus took place at the House of Blues, with Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips as the ringmaster. Jeff Schweers watched it all from the rafters.
The Gaslight Anthem
With the metamorphosis of Brian Fallon from shy guy to confident frontman, The Gaslight Anthem are poised to follow in their hero's footsteps. Jen Cray observed the band's ascent at a recent Orlando show.
The National
The National delivers an amazing, soulful, and rocking show at the House of Blues in Orlando that Jeff Schweers equates to a near religious experience.
Yeasayer
Yeasayer ambles between the tribal, worldbeat vibes of their debut album and the '80s-influenced synth sounds of their latest to a packed house at Firestone Live, Jeff Schweers among them.

Forever Changes: Arthur Lee and the Book of Love
Carl F Gauze reviews this extremely thorough biography of an obscure but groundbreaking musician from the glory days of Sunset Strip.
The Fallen: Life In and Out of Britain's Most Insane Group
The Fallen resembles Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, trying to get at the story of The Fall by letting everyone tell their conflicting versions of the band's true story. And by everyone, Matthew Moyer means EVERYONE.
