Brian Jonestown Massacre’s new record, Aufheben, is a swirling mess of synthesizers and experimental guitar noise, and their live show was no different, except just a hair more captivating — and the record is pretty trance inducing as it is — watching Anton Newcombe and company spin all those parts into something whole and spider-webbed…

album review: the gaslight anthem – handwritten
if i put too much blood on the page If you’re already a fan of swaggering Jersey rockers the Gaslight Anthem, then you already know what Handwritten, the band’s fourth full-length and major label debut, sounds like: it sounds like the Gaslight Anthem, and it’s merely a matter of where it ends up falling on…
i’ve got a theory that it’s a demon
I have a theory. (I have a lot of theories, it’s true. The most important of my theories is Everything Needs More Dave Hause, which I shall test in person this week at the Cradle, along with Everything Needs More Dave Hause Corollary #1, Everything Also Needs More Brian Fallon. But this is not about everything…
an appreciation note to rusty sutton
Some time in the last month-ish, Rusty Sutton, excellent bassist, road manager for Lost In The Trees, and sound dude par excellence, installed a single white light in the front-of-stage lights at Local 506. The 506, if you can’t tell, is my favorite venue in the Triangle; I’m a regular, Glenn books impeccably, it’s walking…
girl in a coma @ local 506
I know there are a ton of bands I say this about, but Girl in a Coma really are one of my favorites to shoot — such dynamic women, such clear love for what they’re doing on stage, and such great music. I can’t go wrong shooting them, and I can’t go wrong still being…
these united states @ local 506
Gorgeous set from These United States; Jesse Elliott has an amazing voice and the songwriting on the new record is stellar, even more heartwrenching live. And a wild amp-standing-solo-filled set from the Henry Clay People, who were a joy to shoot under the new light in the 506. More here, in the full set.
death to false hope fest ii
This is the first of what will be several posts about Death To False Hope Fest II this week; some just photos, and hopefully if I manage to get it all transcribed, one full of short interviews with bands, videographers, wives, and punk fans. But this one, this one is just about my Saturday, and…
the district attorneys @ local 506
The District Attorneys have put out one of my favorite records of 2012 thus far, the doowop shimmering indie rock gem Slowburner, and they didn’t disappoint last night. They’ve got an amazing chemistry on stage, the harmonies of their singers are tight and clear, and the guitar work is incredible. I adored their set. I…
