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 →

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 →

The Magnetic Fields @ The Carolina Theatre 3-21/22-17 [part 2]

Posted on March 29, 2017 by

It must be said that this was a Magnetic Fields show like no other. If anyone is familiar with the band live, Merritt usually takes his place stage left or right. Not tonight. He was front and center, no matter … Continue reading →
