Read MoreAt the Hard Rock Cafe in Austin, my hometown, Aaron was still in The Icarus Line when he performed this very controversial show back in 2002:
Read MoreAFI…..the band I should like but never much got into…has some members that have a passion for new wave. So, they’ve branched off and started their own noveau new wave band, blaqk audio. While at first Stiff Kittens sounds very catchy (and very Depeche Mode, it resonates in my head as the same overproduced manufactured […]
Read MoreNo sale date yet, but you can view the listing here.
Read MoreCheck out HardRockChick’s fantasy schedule for Lollapalooza here. Won’t make it to this one–I’ve seen most of the bands anyway. Instead I’ll be having a debaucherous girl’s weekend in Las Vegas, so if you have any recommendations for good DJs, etc…let me know.

Read MoreNIN were delayed in getting to Russia to start the second leg of their Year Zero tour due to some paperwork issues. Though it’s been wrongly reported by everyone else, they are safely in Russia now and the dates are still on. Proof: That’s Jeordie with some underage Russian chicks. Good times.
Read MoreM.I.A. at the Rickshaw? Really? Did I read that wrong?? Could I possible score another hot ticket, making that two super exclusive shows in one week (the other being The Smashing Pumpkins)?

Read MoreThis is the stuff we look for- it’s what we talk about, blog about, take pictures of, and generally enjoy the most about going to see someone live. It’s the stuff that dreams are made of–it’s the shit that makes you famous. 1. Let me hear your witty banter…don’t just play- talk, dammit! We want […]
Read MoreDaft Punk is playing at my house, my house… Whew, I am tired. Last night was a dance off of gigantic proportions. After the long, complicated journey to get to The Greek from SF, we wait, and wait some more, and wait even more, to assure ourselves a nice position at this all GA venue […]
Read MoreKurt Cobain tapes from the Michael Azerrad interviews that formed Come As You Are- my beloved childhood bible- will be the only Kurt thing in the movie. No video. No piercing blue eyes. No man dresses, guitar smashes, or stage dives. These audio tapes are probably more intimate than any video that exists- it will […]
Read MoreDepeche Mode is just one of those bands that has never really waned in success- they’ve never had a shit album, a bad tour, or an embarrassing bad press moment. And what a documentary- to be a fan in the late ’80s and win a contest to travel around on a bus and go to […]
Read MoreI’m having a bit of trouble believing that these guys are from SF. I’m constantly bitching about the lack of live industrial music here- not to mention the lack of it in the club scene. Well, Psyclon Nine looks like goth chick mecca to me. Very Ministry and KMFDM inspired, I anxiously await the chance […]

Read MoreIf you’ve never heard about the Altamont incident before, this this isn’t the documentary to explain it to you. But if you have, this will definitely illustrate it for you a bit.
