Forward Music Festival 2008
I knew coming into this past weekend that Forward Music Festival (FMF) would be fun and a chance to return to the city of my college years, but I was also impressed at how easily that fun was had. It was one of the better weekends that Madison has ever had to offer me, and [...]

Monolith 2008 Recap: Day One Photos

EOTO @ Fais Do Do, Los Angeles 9/17/08
-
Artist:EOTO
It’s difficult writing a review for a project which doesn’t have actual songs, song titles, and works with little structure. How do you describe it to someone?

Fleet Foxes @ The Independent, 9/19/08

Artist:
Last night's Fleet Foxes show at The Independent was a truly magnificent affair. The opener Sleepy Sun was wildly classic and rockin' and really gave off a good live energy. This band totally has a career ahead of itself. Next up was some old timey fella with a fiddle and a banjo [...]

Artist:
I realized it super late last night after I had walked home from The Independent, but I completely spaced on getting a Phish Friday post finished off before I had to leave work. I wanted to make sure I had time to write a little bit about their Roxy '93 release and it turns [...]

Heady Links
There’s tons of killer live music happening around San Francisco this week, including the Treasure Island Music Festival this weekend. I’m not sure I’ll be going even though I originally thought that there was no way I would miss it, so I’m still a bit conflicted on it to be honest. I’m sure [...]

Langerado 2009 Dates Announced, Venue Changed
Whenever I think of Langerado I think of the start of the music festival season, and next year's festival and unofficial start to the '09 season will be held March 6-8 the week before South by Southwest which means there's a slight chance I could try to hit both of these festivals.
