Event Reviews

Crowded House

More than 10 years after calling it quits, Crowded House is back -- and more delightfully ironic than ever. Steve Stav suddenly remembered sharing one thing in common with Eddie Vedder while covering the band's visit to the Pacific Northwest.

moe.down Festival

Chirs Catania decamps from Chicago to scope out the laid-back vibes and furious grooves of the moe.down Festival. Say goodbye to the summer.

Projekt Revolution Tour 2007

With the absence of rap groups from this year’s lineup, and the addition of a stellar Saosin, this year’s Projekt Revolution tour is the best it has ever been -- which isn’t saying much. Mark Fredrickson endured 11 long hours of annoying parents, smelly kids and groups like My Chemical Romance and Mindless Self Indulgence so you don’t have to.

Rock The Bells

When Rock The Bells took its hip hop circus on the road it may have left the core acts back in the big cities (Rage Against The Machine and Public Enemy to name just two), but Chris Catania still managed to discover some sublime moments at the tour's stop in Chicago.

Satellite Party

Perry Farrell's Satellite Party may not have brought in the crowds his previous bands would have guaranteed, but the old material mixed with Farrell's Iggy Pop-like energy was enough to satisfy the fans that did make it down to the House of Blues Orlando, Jen Cray was amontst them.
