David J @ The Mothlight – 6-16-17

Posted on June 19, 2017 by

Back in January, when scoping out the Roedelius show I attended nearly three months ago at The Mothlight, I couldn’t fail to notice that David J, everyone’s favorite bassist/vocalist from Bauhaus and Love + Rockets was coming to town last … Continue reading →

Nick Cave + The Bad Seeds @ Thomas Wolfe Auditorium 6-7-17 [part 3]

Posted on June 15, 2017 by

[…continued from previous post] Next came another, even more striking song I was aware of since day one, but had never heard. “Tupelo” was certainly mythmaking at an extremely high level. The performance of the song was complete with black … Continue reading →

Nick Cave + The Bad Seeds @ Thomas Wolfe Auditorium 6-7-17 [part 2]

Posted on June 14, 2017 by

[…continued from previous post] The show had no opening act. It sort of made sense. Who would want to follow Nick Cave + The Bad Seeds? The venue’s website proclaimed that the show would begin promptly at 8 p.m. but … Continue reading →

Posted on May 30, 2017 by

Sure, sure. I was late to the Franz Ferdinand party. Quite frankly, I gave the entire early naughties New New Wave Of New Wave [?] a big miss figuring that I’d heard it all in 1978… then heard the reboot in the … Continue reading →

Adrian Belew Power Trio @ Isis Music Hall 5-4-17

Posted on May 5, 2017 by

I have always had time for Adrian Belew. He has both killer pop instincts and a desire to really stretch out and play in the margins. Since his colorful burst into my musical world with “Lodger” in 1979, he quickly … Continue reading →
