Schedule a Wolf Parade, invite a few people and turn up the LCD Soundsystem and everything will be just fine….especially if you’re at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Photos of Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival by Amy Weiser.

Photos from Pitchfork: Titus Andronicus
If you’re looking for action, blood and guts, Titus Andronicus is a good place to start in the catalog of William Shakespeare. Inspired by Shakespeare’s title, indie rockers Titus Andronicus had the thought that “Titus Andronicus” would make for a great band name. It’s certainly an inspired choice (and just when you thought the world […]

Setlist: Paul McCartney in Kansas City, 7/24/10
It’s still the “greatest show on Earth” and I’m not talking about the Ringling Brothers. After nearly 18 hours of bus and car travel, it only took a few seconds of “Venus and Mars” to validate what a great choice I’d made road tripping it to Kansas City to see Paul McCartney. For three hours, […]
We’re going to Kansas City…..
….Kansas City, here we come! As the week came to a close, the girlfriend got an unexpected pair of tickets to see Paul McCartney’s first performance in Kansas City in 17 years. Which means that I had to make the very difficult choice to hop on a Greyhound bus to go see the show with […]
This Weekend: Mary Chapin Carpenter at the Kent Stage
Cleveland-based lovers of great music will appreciate knowing that among the many great concert options to choose from in the area this weekend, there is at least one standout double bill featuring Mary Chapin Carpenter and Tift Merritt at the Kent Stage on Saturday night. Touring in support of her latest release The Age of […]
Stranger in a Strange Band: A Conversation with Kelly Hansen of Foreigner
I have to give Mick Jones a lot of credit. With over 25 years of success with Foreigner on his resume (not to mention a nice little side career producing albums like Van Halen’s 5150 and Billy Joel’s Storm Front), it’s not like he had anything else left to prove. The proof is in the […]
Save some dough on your summertime concert fun courtesy of Live Nation
With the rising cost of concert tickets, it’s always refreshing to get word of a good deal that will actually put some dollars back into your wallet as a music fan. And believe it or not, this has nothing to do with stealing music off of the internet! I’m talking about Live Nation’s recent announcement […]
Show of the Week: John Oates at The Kent Stage
Friends, I’ll have to admit that I broke my own rules. Last week, I told you about a super-bitchin’ show of the week featuring The Brought Low and The Suede Brothers, playing at Nemeth’s in Painesville. And then when Saturday night rolled around, I missed it. “Friends don’t let friends miss The Suede Brothers.” Unless […]
Show of the Week: The Brought Low & The Suede Brothers
It’s not often that Cleveland is blessed with a concert appearance by any one of the many great rock and roll bands on the Detroit-based Small Stone Records label. (We’re not counting Cleveland’s own Red Giant – besides, even those rock dudes need to play more Clevo shows!) Saturday night, prepare yourself for a brutal […]
