GLASVEGAS: WE DID WHAT SCOTTISH PEOPLE DO
July 27th, 2009 · No Comments
Indie rock doesn’t produce much in the way of anthems, but, then again, Glasvegas is ‘indie’ only by D.I.Y. courtesy, started as it was by four Glaswegians with more confessed ambition than self-admitted skill.

NEW YORK DOLLS @ THE HENRY FONDA
May 28th, 2009 · No Comments
Sure, the dead band members outnumber the living ones at this point, and David Johansen seemed more than a little tired, and Sylvain Sylvain has nearly morphed into a combination of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. But to their everlasting artistic credit, they insisted on playing half a set of newish material, and that new material was 100% damned good. A few songs sounded a bit like the sweet street-tough material from David Johansen’s solo career, but even tighter and poppier, a little more Lou Reed than Shadow Morton. And they even made sure to evoke their dead brethren by opening “Lonely Planet Boy” with a full chorus of Johnny Thunders’ “Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory.”

THROBBING GRISTLE @ THE MONTALBAN THEATRE
April 27th, 2009 · No Comments
The Los Angeles Throbbing Gristle show was sneakily announced days before Coachella began this year and weeks after the San Francisco show sold out—long after their Los Angeles fans decided to buckle up, pay the money, and endure the overheated conditions to see a band that hasn’t given a California performance in 30 years. Those of us that couldn’t make either one of those shows had an opportunity to catch an under-promoted and intimate appearance at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre this past Tuesday.
