CONCERT REVIEW: Baroness – Weedeater Live at Great American Music Hall
Meeting up with friends in San Francisco, I had about the best birthday you can imagine for my 53rd trip around the sun. After a weekend of dinner, gifts, record shopping, shenannigans, and recording a podcast and directly hitting the bricks for the show, I was excited to get back to my favorite venue in town, Great American Music Hall. Tonight was gonna be killer with Baroness playing all of their Red Album and Blue Record in full, and the brash boys Weedeater in tow. Meeting up with my photog, Anita, and my concert buddy, Laurie, we entered the fast-filling-up-to-sold-out-capacity venue.Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Arcadea – The Exodus of Gravity
The Exodus of Gravity (Relapse Records) is the follow-up to Arcadea’s 2017 debut. Brann Dailor is still handling the drums and vocals, with Core Atoms returning to handle the bulk of the synth duties. At the same time, they are also joined by Mastodon‘s current touring keyboardist João Nogueira, adding to the layers of prog unfolding here. There is less of a synth wave feel this time around. His drumming is more aggressive. He piles on layers of vocal overdubs to try things he does not normally explore with his day job. The title track would feel more like current-day Mastodon if the synths were replaced by guitars. “Fuzzy Planet’ is the lead single and the best of the first three songs, as it takes things in a more new wave, Gary Numan direction, while applying some funky grooves. This sets the project apart as a more distinct entity. Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Deadguy – Near-Death Travel Services
New Jersey’s Deadguy formed in 1994 and existed for a mere three years before their 1997 split. During their original run they put out the White Meat and Work Ethic seven inches, 1996’s highly influential debut full-length Fixation on a Co-Worker, the Screamin’ with the Deadguy Quintet EP, and the posthumous I Know Your Tragedy (Live at CBGBs) set.
CONCERT REVIEW: Baroness – Dawn of Ouroborus Live at The Meadows, Brooklyn
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.
