Concert Reviews

Melvins Lite + Retox @ Corona Theatre

Melvins Lite

I had the privilege of seeing the Melvins, currently known as Melvins Lite, perform on July 3rd at the Corona Theatre for their recent album and tour. I've seen the Melvins twice before, and each time was memorable for wildly different reasons. Would the third time be as memorable?

Not so great first impressions...


Henry Rollins - The Long March Tour 2012 @ Corona Theatre

Henry Rollins Long March Tour 

I had the privilege of seeing Henry Rollins perform a spoken word show on June 15th at the beautiful Corona Theatre on Notre Dame Street West. 


Gogol Bordello @ Metropolis

"Nothing will ever, ever top this show. Nothing!" –Overheard by a concert-goer outside, after the show.

The Band


School of Seven Bells + Exitmusic @ Sala Rossa

This past May 3rd, Sala Rossa was darker than usual (or it certainly seemed that way) and the room was half-empty (or half-full, depending on your outlook). The show was slow to start - although once it did, the crowd inexplicably maintained a consistent 5 foot distance from the stage. Whether it was because they were curious to watch the projections on the white screen at the back of the stage, or because they were afraid of getting their eardrums blown out, I can't say for sure.


Reverend Horton Heat + The Real McKenzies + The Brains @ Club Soda

Stereotypes aside, there was certainly a theme to the evening at Club Soda on Saturday, May 28. Leather, chains and heavy black eyeliner abound, along with many rockabilly do’s, tight jeans on dudes and Dr. Martens on every second pair of feet.
