Lollapalooza 2010

Grant Park, Chicago

Aug. 7, 2010

IMG_1088

Day two of Lollapalooza got started, for me, around 1:45 p.m. with a set by Blues Traveler. The blues-rock jam band kicked off its set with "Runaround" before going into a cover of Sublime's "What I Got," both of which quickly won over the crowd.

GBH w/ Outernational

Tremont Music Hall

July 27, 2010

The Deal: A good old fashioned punk rock show at Tremont with Antiseen, Outernational and GBH. Emphasis on old. It was kind of weird and funny to see 40 and 50 year-old weathered punks in the crowd and on stage. Re-scheduled show from June 2.

Sick Puppies w/ Janus, It's Alive

The Deal: Australia's Sick Puppies rocks Amos', brings along some cheese and whine.

The Good: I'll talk about the opening bands later, so let's just jump straight to the main event. The thing that struck me immediately was bassist Emma Anzai, who got into it from the first notes — a bit of slap bass, driving the music and rarely standing still. Singer/guitarist Shimon Moore balances smooth vocals with something a little bit more raspier when he screams for a tone that works well with the music.

After playing "My World," the band ran through a few bars of Rage Against the Machine's "Bombtrack" before starting "Odd One."

Of course Moore said it was just for Charlotte, but I'm guessing they do the three-song acoustic breakdown at every tour stop. They played "All the Same," "What Are you Looking For?" and "Too Many," before ramping the sound back up to 10.

Live review: Cowboy Junkies

Posted By on Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 10:22 AM

Cowboy Junkies

McGlohon Theatre

July 21, 2010

The Deal: It was Toronto, Canada’s own soulful and bluesy rock band Cowboy Junkies at McGlohon Theatre all by their lonesome. They are touring in support of their new release, Renmin Park, one of four albums they have produced in 18 months called the Nomad Series.

The Good: McGlohon Theatre’s 730-seat setup is very intimate and breathtaking — especially the stained-glass windows and the Byzantine dome from the previous First Baptist Church that was once located there. Its interior shape also made way for some great acoustics.

I had always loved lead vocalist Margo Timmin’s voice ever since I first heard her sing their version of Lou Reed’s “Sweet Jane” off of The Trinity Session album in 1988, and I figured I was in for a treat. I was.

Patty Griffin Tribute

Evening Muse

July 14, 2010

On July 14, 2010, the inaugural Patty Griffin Tribute Night was held at the Evening Muse. A good number of Charlotte-area musicians gathered to pay tribute to the singer-songwriter in front of a packed house.
