Girls Rock SB! Benefit @ The Marjorie Luke ~ February 23, 2013

Always Leave On a High Note Girls R ock SB! is a local organization that aims to empower young girls through music. To raise money for scholarships and instruments for their summer and after school all-girls music program, the organization hosted a night of music and dance. MC’d by KLITE’s Catherine Remak, the night was split into two short acts. Each act was made up of five short sets, very accommodating of the young audience and their attention spans. The first performance of act one was a 3-piece band made up of well-known local artists. The cherry on top though was the aerial performance on silk. The young aerialist was top notched and performed what seemed like death defying stunts. The next three performances were made up of a black and white music video, an all male high school cover rock band with young female dancing ballerinas, and an all male 2-piece acoustic set. The performances were all entertaining, but I would have liked to have seen at least one all-gi...

The Neighbourhood @ SOhO ~ February 20, 2013

photo by paul dunkley There Goes the Neighbourhood You know what you are getting yourself into when you head to a sold out show of a new, young, up 'n coming indie pop band: young hipster (are we still using that term) girls. Lots of them. At the show only for the hot singer and the one radio hit. I was ok with that. What I didn't expect was the air of bastardry (new term I made up) these young boys from Thousand Oaks would be emanating. Having only one hit off an album that came out about a year ago, these little twerps (old skool term) posed as if they were legends. Sure it's a catchy tune. Sure the lead singer, Jesse Rutherford, looked like a young tattooed Adam Levine (not that that's anything to brag about). Sure there were a lot of really young girls screaming at you from the crowd. But really? Why the attitude boys? It's very off-putting. That said, after I refrained from punching Adam, I mean Jesse, in the face for fronting,...

Modest Mouse ~ February 19, 2018 @ The Arlington Theatre

Missed the Boat Some experiences are hard to describe with words. Sometimes you really do need to be there. Hopefully you were when Modest Mouse arrived at the Arlington Theatre for a truly otherworldly performance. Modest Mouse is known for their weird take on indie rock. As far as indie bands go, they are pretty far out there. This becomes very apparent in their live performance. With only six studio albums under their belt, their hit list is quite extensive. And they just about played every one of them at this sold-out show. Truly mesmerizing, Modest Mouse teased the crowd before the haunting opening cords to “3rd Planet” echoed through the theatre, bring the excited crowd to an excited hush. With the use of strategically colored and placed lights, lasers made dramatic effects in an already dramatic song. The song set the tone for the rest of the evening. With a diverse set list full of ethereal songs strongly highlighted with colorful beams of light, Modest Mouse l...
