Nitzer Ebb at Jaxx

... fan I really wanted to keep with their tradition of simple, bold typographic style. This flyer brings together the style of Showtime with the colors of That Total Age. Furthering the awesome is that the openers Ego Likeness , Anders and Kangal are A) all friends of mine and B) huge fans of Ebb. It's going to be a big win night for everyone. Fingers crossed that work doesn't make ...

Stomp, clap, move back--so deadly!

The Swollen Members show was amaaaaaazing. Or at least they were. Their openers? Well, let me tell you about them. Bliss n Esso at least gave an honest performance; they're Aussies making their first foray into the States and they seemed genuinely excited about being here and performing. During their performance, there were a couple of people from Yakima that could not stop jawing about Big B, ...

Love, Sigmas, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean

... that we saw near the end of october was jason aldean down in lacrosse. his opening act was gloriana again....i really am loving them more and more each time i see them! love and theft was the other openers, which i really didn't care for. so for this concert when they say 'how close can you get to the band/performer?'....i don't think zach and i could have gotten any closer. my ears suffered for ...

Stuff ...

... Circus Sideshow, Hawthorne Heights and Ashland's Attic. *Speaking of Sturma, Lea and I will be among the openers for him and Rachel McKibbens at the Kitchen Sessions Sunday, Nov. 15. West Coast REPRESENT! (even if Lea, Rachel and I all live on the East Coast now.) The rule, of course, is that openers have to read stuff they've never read out loud. Already have one piece in the can. Not sure...

... four and a half hours long because of a second headliner (Mastodon, whom I did not like but is apparently pretty rad) and two others, which were just a high-pitched guitar "tone cluster" set on uber distortion. Oh man, it was so loud and so noisy, and not in a good way. But, Dethklok was totally worth the 30 bucks for the ticket, so if I see them again, I'm totally going to bail on the openers.

the flow of the century

...what LJ is for. ***** I am on schedule to start Year Two at the theater, and it's been a good year so far. Our first show of the season, which I directed, has outsold the last few season openers and it's a personal (artistic) triumph. I love this show, and it looks totally fantastic. Boss Lady came to town and she declared it inspirational. I just call it a good time. I actually had to sub for...

... the glimmer of the sun against the smooth hides of blades — for all my dislike of the light — calmed and captured something within me. It didn’t matter what they were — dirks, daggers, chopping knives, letter openers, a pair of scissors or a saw, I became very fond of blades. Each of them communicated a different charm to me. I saved enough from all the errands I ran and the work I did in my ...

I feel like I lost a weekend...

Type O Negative kicked ass again. Actually, with one exception, all the openers were enjoyable. Gotta say, though, as much as Seventh Void also kicked ass, Kenny looked pretty beat between sets. Still, glad I went. I've seen one of the local bands before, and they rather sucked, as I recall. This time around, though, they were actually pretty good. And they seemed like decent guys (and girl). ...

DRAGONFORCE, GRENDEL, TORIAN at Kulturfabrik (Esch/Alzette) (31st October 2009)

... to be an endless suite of riffs and solos. And especially the single ‘Reasons To Live’ which was already the second song of the set got great response. Dragonforce proved tonight that it is still possible to play classic power metal which is sounding absolutely vivid. Even if the two openers couldn’t convince me totally, I don’t regret having come to the KuFa for an extraordinary metal event.
