Festival Review and Photos: Coachella – Friday

All Photos by Philip Cosores Kendrick Lamar Yuck Yuck’s brand of sludgy rock may not have been the ideal listening in the 100+ degree heat, as the crowd may not have been willing to invest the energy into their peppy sound and the band themselves seemed a little slovenly onstage (it didn’t help that Daniel [...]

Live Review and Photos: Bowerbirds, April 7, 2012, Troubadour – West Hollywood, CA

Photos by Philip Cosores It’s not exactly the most revealing of realisations, but watching Bowerbirds play on Saturday night really emphasized to me how much having great musical chemistry between two people can enhance their personal connection, and vice versa. The break up and subsequent make-up between Bowerbirds’ co-leaders Philip Moore and Beth Tacular is [...]

Photos by Philip Cosores Relief is not something I often feel at a show, but it is one of the many things I felt at White Rabbits’ concert last night. Relief because, prior to the support act going on, the venue was looking pretty empty, and I was worried that it might remain that way. [...]

Live Review and Photos: Odd Future, March 25, 2012, The Tabernacle – Atlanta, GA

I figured it was about time I’d see an Odd Future show. Having followed Tyler and crew since their early stream of releases, I’ve watched their rapid rise with interest. I’d never been quite as consumed by them as kids just a bit younger, but it’s been refreshing to watch a more-or-less organically rising hip [...]

Live Review and Photos: Poliça, March 20, 2012, The Drunken Unicorn – Atlanta, GA

It’d be fair to say that I was more curious than excited as I prepared to catch my first Poliça show. They’ve consumed a fair amount of hype since Bon Iver declared them his current favorite, but while I’d found their debut perfectly pleasant, it hadn’t struck as deep a chord with me as it [...]

Live Review and Photos: The Magnetic Fields, March 23, 2012, The Orpheum Theatre – Los Angeles, CA

This being my first time seeing The Magnetic Fields playing live, I had no idea what to expect. Combining a band that has a long history with a classy downtown seated theater venue that has a much longer one, on a Friday night, I had my suspicions that I might sitting amongst a crowd that [...]
