Plague Vendor – 10/18/19 – Three Links – Dallas, TX

Plague Vendor has built up from their foundation of another energetic, punk, Warped Tour band and added a dash of 70’s-80’s along with even more energy. However, their roots still show, as evidenced by them crowd surfing at bars, drinking on stage, and just generally having a nice time. I was fortunate enough to see […]

Circa Survive and La Dispute Blow Minds and Wrench Hearts In Dallas

Having seen La Dispute several times over the years I thought I knew what to expect when I saw them and Circa Survive play at Gas Monkey Live! in Dallas. However, each time they’ve proven to be both mind blowing and heart wrenching. Watching them finish with “Such Small Hands” and playing “King Park” in […]

Everybody Wants The “D”

It’s hard to explain a Tenacious D concert to the everyday person, but I will try. This might even be the weirdest tour/album to date. The setlist for the night was divided to showcase their new album and their “greatest hits”. In the first part for the album Post-Apocalypto, the songs were accompanied by clips […]

Jake Shears – Ringmaster of the fabulous circus.

From the moment Jake Shears stepped onto the stage, you knew you were in for a treat. He was all energy and attitude, with some storytelling in between songs plus…. bonus costume changes!  Jake and his band played his new songs effortlessly and threw in some Scissor Sisters hits as well.  His unending movements gave […]

A Decade Apart – Premonitions Pt. 1

With the release of “Premonitions Part 1”, we finally get to see the evolution of A Decade Apart.  We got glimpses with the singles “Calamity” and “Forgiveness”, but to have a seven track EP in front of us is a completely different animal.  “Contrails” was honestly the perfect song to put out there as the […]

September 28, 2018 Written by Lauren Starkey Edited by Amanda Ahrendt Last night, I had the privilege to see Blue October, a band I worshiped back in the day, at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. In full transparency, I have not kept up with the band. I should have. In front of a capacity crowd, […]
