Live Review and Photos: Japanther, May 15th, 2012, The Studio At Webster Hall – New York, NY

Photos by Nick Pereslugoff Though their live shows are much lauded, for some reason Japanther’s studio output has failed to gain the same sort of praise. Even a cursory listen to last year’s Beets, Limes, and Rice is enough to provide the same sort of energy that Ian Vanek and Matt Reilly bring to their [...]

Live Review and Photos: Dum Dum Girls, May 15, 2012, The Constellation Room – Santa Ana, CA

A quick glance at the Dum Dum Girls during their Tuesday night tour kickoff performance in Orange County revealed that things have indeed changed for the band. There are superficial elements, like the platinum blonde locks that frontwoman Dee Dee is now sporting, and there are the changes in the lineup, with a new basist [...]

Live Review and Photos: Lotus Plaza and Ramona Falls, May 10th, 2012, The Echo – Los Angeles, CA

There was something of a common theme between three of the four acts on Thursday night’s bill: they were the ‘other’ bands of guys from groups that are already very well established. Topping the bill was Ramona Falls, the band of former Menomena member Brent Knopf; co-headlining was Lotus Plaza, the side-project of Deerhunter guitarist [...]

Live Review and Photos: Andrew Bird, May 4th, 2012, Beacon Theatre – New York, NY

Photos by Nick Pereslugoff Most times when I arrive at a concert, I’m anticipating a solid set from a band in some dingy bar down in Brooklyn, and more often than not, I don’t really get out to events much bigger than that. To be sure, I’m generally not a huge fan of seated shows, [...]

Festival Review and Photos: Coachella 2012 – Sunday

All Photos by Philip Cosores Metronomy In the five years since I first saw Metronomy so much has changed about the band that it’s hard to believe that they’re the same entity at all. Today’s Metronomy is much more confident and polished, and this work has obviously paid off as they managed to draw a [...]

Festival Review and Photos: Coachella 2012 – Saturday

All Photos by Philip Cosores Black Lips Inarguably, from this writer’s point of view, Saturday is the most stacked day of Coachella this year, in terms of lineup, and this started early with Black Lips taking to the Mojave stage just after 2pm. Those who had made it down early enough to catch their rambunctious [...]
