My The Black Keys Experience @ Fillmore, 06/03/10
When did The Black Keys get so popular? When did they start selling out large venues? When did they start fetching $100 a ticket from scalpers? And when did they get a sense of humour? Is this the same band that released Rubber Factory? Really? Well, I guess none of that matters. All that matters

Danger Mouse “humbly” Presents Broken Bells
If the name wasn’t already being used by another PacNW band, I would venture to say Broken Bells could have been named Modest Mouse. This band was so tight, so entertaining and so humble that is was a little surreal. First of all you’ve got James Mercer, the lead singer of one of the most

Sage Francis Does It His Way and Disappoints @ Gothic
If you were not disappointed by Sage Francis‘ show at The Gothic last night, you either had never seen him before, just became a fan with the new album or you weren’t there. I’m sorry I have to be so blunt about this, but he came out on stage wearing a full suit to a

About Yesterday: The National @ Spreckels Theatre, 05/23/10
I was as excited as a little girl at a Justin Bieber concert when The National took the stage at the beautiful Spreckels Theatre in San Diego and played the first few chords of Start A War. This was the start of a show that would end up being one of the best shows I

Local Natives @ Larimer Lounge, 05/21/10
There were a couple firsts at Larimer Lounge last night. It was the first time I showed up at that particular venue while it was still daylight, it was the first time I had attended a sold-out show there and it was the first time I hung out a full show with someone I met

The Tallest Man On Earth @ Bluebird, 05/19/10
The tallest man in the world is over 8ft. tall. Kristian Matsson of Dalarna, Sweden is not that man. Even though he performs under The Tallest Man On Earth moniker, the folk-singer stands around 5 1/2 ft. tall. That being said, it doesn’t really matter what he calls himself, because his voice and songwriting skills are some

Drive-By Truckers Bring The Rock Show To Colorado
When you have been seeing a band live since their humble beginnings, you can’t help but be disappointed as that band gets popular, starts playing larger venues and stops playing the ‘classic’ songs you love. That is unless that band is Drive-By Truckers. While so many bands I like have been disappointing over the

Frightened Rabbit @ Bluebird, 05/12/2010
Frightened Rabbit came to Denver last night and they brought shitty weather with them. It was in the low-30s with slushy rain. Not your typical May day. But these Scottish lads are not strangers to miserable weather in Colorado. Last time they were in town was for the Monolith Festival at Red Rocks last September.

The Missing Link Metal Marathon @ The Fox Theater
The Fox Theater in Oakland, CA opened in 1928. It closed in 1966. It survived a fire in ’73, becoming a parking lot in ’75 and then became a landmark in ’78. In 1996, when the theater was bought by the city of Oakland, it was in bad shape. Mold so bad there were mushrooms
