CONCERT REVIEW: YOB – Windhand Live at Pioneer Works

Posted on by

10.15.25_Pioneer Works, Brooklyn NYC

This world is full of gifts if you know where to look for them, and a night with YOB and Windhand is definitely a gift. A sold out weeknight show in Brooklyn’s industrial ravaged Red Hook neighborhood, on a beautiful October evening, where the music was thick and heavy with riffs. Pioneer Works is definitely one of the city’s more unique venues with its stained glass, high ceilings and exposed beams.  It’s great seeing Windhand as a five piece again, they were able to give the crowd the sonic bludgeoning we deserved. It’s never an easy task to open for YOB but Windhand nailed it.Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: King’s X – Sound and Shape Live at Sellersville Theater

Posted on by

Nestled in beautiful Bucks County is the Sellersville Theater. It’s on a hill in this quiet, comfy main street town, and you can see and feel the generations of people who came to support their favorite bands and the stories to match. I  loved seeing and hearing boomers and Gen X’rs fawn about the old days. Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: Idles – Sprints – Glass Beams Live at Release Fest Athens

Posted on by

Hailing from Bristol, in the United Kingdom, fifteen years ago, Idles has built a reputation on stellar, high-energy live performances. Bringing their A-game to their own headline day of the on-going Release Fest in Athens, in terms of songcraft and entertainment value, the band engaged the massive crowd as if they were still in a tiny club, leaping off the stage to be one with the crowd. Frontman Joe Talbot is masterful at controlling the crowd and bending them to his will. Playing a lot of tracks from their most recent album Tangk (Partisan Records), new fans and old-heads alike enjoyed the band that at times leaves behind their early rawer Punk sound and more recent post-Punk style to transcend the genre entirely.Continue reading →


CONCERT REVIEW: Spacehog – EMF – Ecce Shnak Live at The Observatory

Posted on by

 

Spacehog is one of those bands that you either get or you don’t. Like Kula Shaker, the band are somehow catchy and obtuse in equal measure, sassy then serious the next minute. They might be mostly known for “In The Meantime”, one of the best rock songs of the nineties (or any decade), but they have killer tunes sprinkled through every album. Led by poetic David Bowie disciple Royston Langdon, The Resident Aliens coasted into Santa Ana with their nineties grunge-lite meets glam boots on along with some amazing support from dance indie Platinum-sellers Epsom Mad Funkers (EMF) and New York genre-defying upstarts Ecce Shnak. It was an eventful night, to say the least.Continue reading →

CONCERT REVIEW: Turnstile Live at Technopolis

Posted on by

Amazing to watch a band grow so exponentially over the last few years, that in a distant country like Greece, Turnstile were upgraded to a larger outdoor venue, a big deal for acts that come to Athens.Continue reading →
