It was the first night of The Faint and Ladytron’s two night mini residency at The Fillmore. As co-headliners, each band would take a turn closing (imagine that!). Guess which night I picked? The Faint’s closing night, because I just like them like that. It was to be my first time seeing Ladytron. I’ve skipped […]
Review of upcoming album Kingdom of Welcome Addiction here.
My ears are still ringing. Last time I saw Autolux was a Noise Pop show in 2007 at The Independent. Their set was cut short due to some fried amps or something. I had to ditch my ticket at the last minute when they came around last year. This time, I wasn’t missing it. Autolux […]
from the GAMH/Slim’s weekly email: Slim’s and GAMH are under siege from the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) with regards to our All Ages licenses. We have had a great deal of legal expenses in the past year. Purchase of this shirt will go to support our ongoing legal bills and help to keep Slim’s and […]
Fischerspooner, a Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode influenced ‘electro-clash’ duo from Brooklyn, is one of the more interesting live acts out there.

But they’ve been so dormant for so long that my motivation for buying tickets were more about knowing I should be there than necessarily being a fan of the music. I decided to watch this […]
Zia from The Dandy Warhols- who has commented on my review of their set before- joined Brian Jonestown Massacre during the song ‘Not If You Were the Last Dandy on Earth’ for ultimate irony. Very cool. Read my recent review of a well behaved BJM here, and a older review of a not so well […]
Dave Navarro, guitarist for Jane’s Addiction, has an internet radio show called Dark Matter on Indie 103.1, which airs Wednesdays from 10p-12a PST. In light of the upcoming NIN/JA tour, he’s been dedicating the shows, deemed ‘NIN/JA Wednesdays’, to all things NIN/JA related. With a strong twitter component, somehow….this happened: April 8th show: HRC logs […]
