“She said, I’m in love with someone else she said I fell in love with someone else and I I’m in love with someone and that’s all that I know for sure.” How can such depressing lyrics make you want to jump and dance around? Because it is just how Parachute works. Their lyrical stories […]
It was the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. Yes, I am taking it all the way back to 2008. The main group of my friends, my crew, my pack, was preparing to move away to their various choices of colleges. It was the summer of days spent at the lakes, […]
I probably should not begin this review by stating I am not a die-hard Taylor Swift fan. But, there it is. I had the opportunity to attend the concert last Friday and no, I was not excited beyond belief that this sold-out concert would be one I was able to be present for. The friend […]
In this awkward political season when President Trump (roll that one around in your head for a few moments) is making headlines while stealing music from the likes of R.E.M., Desaparecidos punched back at ol’ Teflon Don by playing some (likely unauthorized) Trump audio as an introduction to last night’s SRO show at The Waiting Room. There […]
The last time Twin Shadow came through The Waiting Room (almost three years to the date of yesterday’s show — Sept. 10, 2012), the band performed as a trio in front of around 150, playing their urgent dance songs to a darkened, smoke-filled stage. Last night’s performance at The Waiting Room showed how much the band […]
Let me get this out of the way first: I love alt-J. The band, also known as ∆ (the symbol for delta and somehow the adopted favorite shape of hipsters everywhere even before the band showed up), is about the best you can find in weird English indie rock, in my opinion. This was a concert […]
Sumtur Amphitheater welcomed Third Eye Blind of the ’90s and Dashboard Confessional of the ’00s Tuesday night despite bouts of rain and mosquitos. Opener Augustana played to a polite but not-exactly-thrilled crowd, due mostly to the fact that nobody knew they were going to be there: they weren’t advertised for the tour and I was […]
I make it a point to try to only review things that are my thing, so I never have to add “…if that’s your kind of thing” to soften my message. Motion City Soundtrack and William Beckett at The Waiting Room was exactly my kind of thing. To start out, William Beckett, formerly of The […]
Walking into the CenturyLink Center and finding out our seats were much higher and farther to the left of the stage than we had anticipated, had put my friends and me in a meh kind of mood. Not ideal for a concert. The way the stage was setup, jutting far out into crowd, made our arrangements […]
The sixth annual Love Fest in the Midwest happened last weekend near Bellevue, no matter what rain, mud or weird temperature swings would do to get in the way. The festival ran Thursday through Saturday, with many happy hippies taking their time to leave come Sunday. Original music and covers of jam bands like the […]
