Local Review: Spooky Deville – Breathe Transylvania
Spooky Deville Breathe Transylvania Self-Released Street: 10.2006 Spooky Deville = Graveyard Shift + Conombre Zombi These boys play some decent psychobilly. They are pretty typical of what is going on in the genre right know, almost all psycho and no billy. They do a really good job at using lead singer Dozer’s booming voice. The
Local Review: Revideolized – The Moon Driven Dark
Revideolized The Moon Driven Dark Self-Released Street: Feb. 2007 Revideolized = Recoil Hydrology + Progressive Rock Electronic music in its purest form is by nature experimental.

Bleary Ventriloquate Xstatic Studios Street: 06.2006 Bleary = I Am Electric + The Brobecks – irony + The New Transit Direction I wouldn’t exactly say I like Bleary, but I can’t say they’re bad either. I don’t have the musical ability to start or play in a band, so I can respect that they’ve gotten

Regardless of political affiliation or personal ideology, I think most people can agree on one thing: War sucks. War ultimately leads to the deaths of good, honest people, and the loss of those people often has a profound effect on those who love them. … read more
Kurt Elling Show Review
I am a strong believer that the best way to enjoy music is while standing up. This applies to almost every concert I have ever attended-—and after attending Kurt Elling’s performance at the Sheraton Center, my belief was reaffirmed. … read more
Of Montreal Show Review
A faint low rumble starts to ensue, and the crowd isn’t sure if it’s still the irritating sound crew, or if it’s Of Montreal’s set about to begin. Much to the crowds pleasure, Kevin Barnes, a familiar face, jumps onstage flamboyantly dressed in tight red jeans (which would later be removed) and a tight white shirt emblazed with a pink tiger on the front. … read more
