Best use of $10

Went to Rickshaw Stop last night and for the cost of a couple of beers, saw Back Door Slam which is this trio of kids from the Isle of Man who play amazing blues rock, reminiscent of SRV or perhaps John Mayer. It's notable that the main dude, D...

TMBG at the Fillmore

Great show last night! I figured out that it was somewhere between my 20th and 30th time seeing them live, and that the first time was over SEVENTEEN years ago. Jeez! Highlights: Full horn section for about a third of the show. These guys were a...

Rodrigo y Gabriela Concert Review

nobody@vox.com(lightandstorm) — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:43:17 -0700

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were pretty awesome tonight. I can't recall the last time I saw Fat Mike that sober. They still forgot how to play the songs and Spike forgot a lot of the words, but they rocked it hard anyway, and played a lot of my...
