Houston’s Wild Moccasins were great on Thursday night; smart songwriting and hella mad stage presence. Loved loved their set. But damn it’s been a while since the 506 was a sucking black hole pit of no light like that. Didn’t miss it.

concert: typhoon w/ PHOX and wild ones @ cat’s cradle
I started crying two and a half minutes into Typhoon’s set and didn’t stop until they finished playing. It was was an extraordinarily beautiful show, White Lighter is even more powerful live, the crowd was incredibly into the set, and when I took my earplugs out at the end of “Young Fathers”, mid set, for…
concert: panic! at the disco @ the tabernacle, atlanta, GA
Panic! at the Disco broke the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Saturday, and I was there.
concert: reggie & the full effect @ local 506
More punk in 2014.
concert: jason isbell @ haw river ballroom
I detailed a lot about this show for SiC, but it’s worth nothing that I haven’t, before, written about Jason Isbell on this particular blog. The last time I saw Jason play predates my starting a photo blog. The photoblog postdates a long-standing Jason Isbell related grudge. Etc. When I first listened to, and fell…
concert: against me! @ the cradle
This is totally late, because my photos went up on SiC on Wednesday along with my thoughts on Against Me!’s set, but I wanted to write about first openers the Shondes, too, and it took me a day or four. The Shondes are a punk band from Brooklyn; fronted by the fierce and dynamic Louisa…
concert: camper van beethoven @ the cradle
I went to a show Friday night; my first show of 2014. My first show in more than a month, in fact. It was hot, and full of people, and I had to wear both real pants and a bra, and these are all things that displease me in general: heat, humans, real pants*, leaving…
justin townes earle @ southland ballroom
I didn’t see nearly as many show this year as I have the past three. There are reasons for that, but they’re not particularly relevant. As I was finishing my work day yesterday, though, I reflected that even in a small sample size, I got to see so many bands I adore, it was worth…
gross ghost ‘public housing’ cd release show
What a fantastic rock and roll night, full of people I love doing amazing things. Full set, with Last Year’s Men and Schooner, here.
concert: the head & the heart @ the ritz
I wrote about this show for Speakers In Code. Thao & the Get Down Stay Down opened the show, same as the last time I saw THATH in 2011, and they were equally as excellent now as then. I forget between seeing Thao how much I love her slithery, funky, sometimes dirty rock and roll,…
