Amyl and the Sniffers got the crowd more than warmed up with ultra high energy tracks and a vintage rock performance style. One of their top tracks, "I'm Not a Loser" which includes the too-true lyrics "People look at me like I'm a hooker, but I just wanna be a venue booker" hits home for many … Continue reading Photo Gallery: King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard/Amyl and the Sniffers @ The Riviera (Chicago, IL) 6/10/18
Never in my life have I been so delighted to be screamed at in a very meaningful, musical way and hit in the face with a microphone cable. Standing front and center with a camera at so many shows can make the concert going experience lose its luster, but I was wowed (NOT in a … Continue reading Concert Recap: John Maus w/ Gary War at Lincoln Hall

The evening began with Eryn Allen Kane at about 3 pm. I was front and center … Continue reading Parade to the Polls: My Experience

Even though it was a cold night in October, they brought some sunshine from Madrid to Thalia Hall's 'In the Round' stage (which is actually rectangular, but I digress). Before the show, I was completely unfamiliar with Cold … Continue reading Concert Recap: Hinds with Cold Fronts at Thalia Hall
Wednesday night I sprained my ankle at a Twin Peaks concert. I haven’t stopped telling people I sprained my ankle so it must have been a great show. Staying awake until six in the morning was worth being able to see one of my favorite hometown bands in my new city of residence, but I’m … Continue reading Concert Recap: Chicago’s Twin Peaks take Paris
I have a big heart for Chicago bands and little record stores, so the release party for Willows Weep at Bric-A-Brac Records was a great time. Before showcasing their new album and new refined sound, Flesh Panthers saluted their punk and garage roots with opening bands Ego and Faux Furrs. All three bands put on an incredible, … Continue reading Album Review/Concert Recap: Willows Weep by Flesh Panthers
