Mon 5 May – Earth, Kayo Dot, Birds of MayaWhat a horrid gig, one of the worst J.B. shows thus far. Earth were borign to the point of ad naseum! Three lame bands.

Thu 17 Apr – Dead Meadow, The Three 4 Tens, The Shirks Another stellar performance by Dead Meadow. The neo-psych. trio, originated as college buddies in DC, and currently reside in the land of sun and weirdos, LA, CA. Their 70 minute set mixed the old and the new, the classics, and two new tracks off their fourth album, "Old Growth". The club, crowd, and cockaroaches all seemed, at least durign their set, atuned with the universe, as all was one.

Thu 10 Apr – Harvey Bainbridge (Formerly of Hawkwind), Cyndee Lee RuleWhat a lame turn out for this unique space rock gig in Philly, last night. I played the waiting game for a few hours, delt with an uber lame Ohio based indie rock band, that did nothing for me. Finally, by 11 PM, Cyndee Lee Rule took the stage, and she was most impressive with her local home grown musical talent. She played solo, with a drum machine, and her ecclectic style of electronic violin. Her cover of Hawkwind's Hashis tune, dating back to 1976 was most impressive.…

Sat 29 Mar – Anvil Bitch, Dominance
After nerly twenty years Dominance (formeraly known as Anvil Bitch) returns to a Philly stage. This particular gig was a cancer benefit for one of their punk rock female friends, who is currently dying from that dreaded disease. This gig consisted of now defunct local punk rock bands from the 1980s, I.E. Deadspot. I simply disslike punk rock music, as I always have. Nothign worse than middle aged punk rockers actin like they are teenagers again, and looking older than dirt. Time to grow up allready.

Dominance took the stage secod on the…

Tue 18 Mar – Witch, Graveyard

Witch/Graveyard Gig Reviewed
Category: Music

Last night gave witness to a double headliner, featuring Graveyard from Sweden, opening for Witch, from New Orleans (?). This gig occured at Johnny Brenda’s resturant/rock venue in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. Catchign graveyard live was an extra treat, as they are only doing a handfull of American gigs, before heading back to Europe. The place was packed with a very diversified music crowd. A decent number of attendees were there for both bands, but the majority seemed to be solely in support of Witch. However, once graveyard’s…

Wed 20 Feb – Black Mountain, Bon Iver Well, do I recieve an A for effort? I went over to the gig after my statistics class was over at 9 PM tonight. I came from Camden, Rutgers U. The roads were very icy on my dide of the river, Phila. was ine but fridgidly cold. I get to the club at 9:30 PM, only to read a sign posted on the door that the gig was sold out tonight. I simply could not get over to Philly any earlier than I actualy did. So, I drive the twney miles home,…
