    The Underdog Wins 

    Catch Fire and Havana Affair Release New Music  Another night in Nashville and another gem of a dive bar found to watch local and live music.  Finding these spots is like collecting medals for myself.  Live music is my Olympics. I have found myself once again on the podium with The Underdog. The bar and…

  • Eastside Bowl at “The 58” 

    Eastside Bowl at “The 58” 

    with Luella, Wasp Eater, and Lydia Maes I walked into Eastside Bowl not knowing exactly what I would find.  Nashville sure does like its bowling alleys to feature live music and it is wonderfully nostalgic.  I’ve been to Brooklyn Bowl a few times now in Music City and it has always been a trip.  I…

    MTV is Back! Sort of

    A look into what happened to the MTV archives online A few weeks ago, MTV was nearly wiped out online. The good stuff anyway. Journalists who spent decades writing about all thing’s music were shocked when they found out, in late June, that years of research and historical documentation was just gone. The short of…

    I’ve officially hit my “Old Man Phase”, as I find myself muttering “I remember when…” a lot more than I used to. I’ll be turning fifty in less than two months and a few things have changed about my concert going experiences. For instance, I like sitting down more than a mosh pit. That’s not…

    Friendship Commanders with The Jesus Lizard 

    At The Blue Room  It’s Thursday and another school night for this dude, but the music calls me out into the darkness once again.  It sounds a lot like a vampire novel is about to be penned here. It some sense my life sometimes feels like that.  It’s like my day job is just me…

    Pixies With Modest Mouse at Ascend Theater 

    June 2, 2024  I have waited 33 years to see the Pixies for a second time.  I saw them in 1991 at The Beechum Theater in Orlando, FL. Back then I took a lot of enhancements and don’t remember much of the show, so this time I promised myself that I would be completely sober. …

  • DEAD COOL AND STABBING WESTWARD

    DEAD COOL AND STABBING WESTWARD

    MAY 12, 2024 at NEIGHBORHOOD THEATER, CHARLOTTE, NC I’ll be honest, I’ve always had an interesting time at Sunday night gigs. The crowds are usually a bitlackluster, maybe because too many people are already in Monday morning mode and their weekendfeels, effectively, over. That usually means that the shows can feel more intimate and up-close,…

    Under the Influence

    Three Albums that Shaped My Life This article is about that classic question. That one you get at 1am at the bar when you’re with your music loving friends and winding down the evening’s festivities. At least it’s the one you get from my friends anyway. That question is usually something around the likes of,…
