CONCERT REVIEW: Boris – Uniform Live at Brooklyn Steel

Posted on by

11.04.25-Brooklyn Steel

I love a two band killer lineup show and a night of Boris playing Pink and Uniform opening is the literal definition of a killer night. NYC’s own Uniform opened things up at the Brooklyn Steel. Performing with only a single upward facing light from the stage floor setting the mood in the black abyss that was the crowd and every band member except the singer. I’ve been fortunate enough to see Uniform at least once a year for the past five years and they just keep getting better. The current lineup with two drummers and someone dedicated to the synths is a wonderful aural pummeling that I truly enjoy basking in.Continue reading →


CONCERT REVIEW: YOB – Windhand Live at Pioneer Works

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 →

Mudvayne, Static-X, and Vernded enchanted the large crowd of music enthusiasts at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, Massachusetts, celebrating the 25th anniversary of both Static-X’s stellar album Wisconsin Death Trip and Mudvayne’s legendary album L.D. 50. It was an amazing experience to be able to witness these bands demonstrate their love and passion to the crowd. The energy and dedication that they displayed during their performance resonated throughout the entire evening. 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 →

It’s a heavily anticipated event when the Byron Bay surf rats, Parkway Drive, once again find themselves back on UK shores. Crushing arena after arena across Europe in celebration of 20 years, bringing with them fellow countrymen Thy Art Is Murder and The Amity Affliction. Tonight we head out to witness the promised chaos unfold at Manchester’s AO Arena.Continue reading →


CONCERT REVIEW: Pantera – Amon Amarth – Shock Narcotic Live at Jones Beach Theater

Posted on by

There’s something about the open air at Jones Beach Theater that always make shows seem so damn huge. Pantera brought their summer tour to Long Island with support from Amon Amarth and Shock Narcotic. The night had a sense of sadness as the metal community was collectively mourning, following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, who was honored throughout the show.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

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 →


CONCERT REVIEW: Baroness – Dawn of Ouroborus Live at The Meadows, Brooklyn

Posted on by

I love that every couple of years. Baroness does a small venue tour, it feels more connected to their base, and there is nothing better than seeing one of your favorite bands in an intimate room, singing along with a packed crowd. If you were a fan of early Baroness, this was your tour to see them play both Red and Blue Album (both released on Release Records) front to back. Many songs and interludes have never been performed live before.
