Music Menu George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic keep it groovy - Tonight @ Amos'
Posted By Mike McCray on Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 9:43 AM
An unquestioned funk music pioneer, the Kannapolis-born Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Famer hasn’t stopped touring.
The combined forces of around a dozen members, Parliament-Funkadelic has slowed down in the studio but are seeing the fruits of their influence as the seeds of a generation of people who grew up on the band in the ’70s come out to pay respects and take in the mothership for themselves. That’s a pretty dope cycle.
$25-$30. Amos' SouthEnd.

Photos / Live Reviews / setlist Live review: Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters w/ Social Distortion and The Joy Formidable
Time Warner Cable Arena

Kurt Cobain may have hated being a rock star and the fame that goes along with it, but his bandmate, Dave Grohl, absorbs every ounce of it he can. Grohl, the former Nirvana drummer, brought Foo Fighters to Charlotte on Nov. 8, and played the role of rock frontman to his best abilities for more than two-and-a-half hours.
Dressed in black pants and button-down shirt, his hair hanging in his face, Grohl unleashed the lyrics, "These are my famous last words!" from "Bridge Burning" as the band kicked of an energetic set packed with raucous screams and heavy-handed rock.

Hitting the road on the heels of three new recordings, the country double album Ghost to a Ghost/Gutter Town, the doom rock collection Attention Deficit Domination, and the speedmetal pit-inducing 3 Bar Ranch Cattle Callin’, the rabble-rouser Hank III continues to stamp his own twang and thud. He long ago left the shadows of Hank Sr. and Hank Jr., and damn if III isn’t becoming a bigger musical path carver then the elders.

$15-$18. Amos’ Southend.
Live Reviews Live review: Mose Giganticus

Mose Giganticus, Zeus, Chivalry, Labyrinthe, Monarchist
The Milestone
Nov. 6, 2011
How often do you get the opportunity to see somebody rock a keytar live now that the '80s are long over? Philadelphia's Mose Giganticus resurrects this spectacle, wrapped in a synth-progressive-sludge package that is never short of bringing Charlotte, and many cities alike, to their knees. There have been better shows with them — in the past, they've packed out the Milestone to damn near capacity — but this night, in an intimate setting of 30 to 40 people, they embraced the different vibe and created the same effect on a smaller scale.
After three opening bands, Chivalry, Labyrinthe and Monarchist, the Mose boys began their strikingly original amalgamation. Because it was the touring guitarist's birthday, they were in party-go mode — which is not something these boys typically participate in. The hype was up and spectators gathered around, like squirrels seeking the final nut before the winter, in anticipation of the music they love and seldom get to witness.
