[I’ve been meaning to share random observations from recent shows for days. Now, obviously the lack of sleep has made me slap-happy – not only did I write these, I’m posting them.]

Autolux, El Rey Theatre, Sept. 25
Sending out good wishes, as they get back in business,
to Autolux, the best damn aloof band I’ve witnessed

Dios, Sept. 19, at Lobsterfest
The brightest of bright spots on a sunny afternoon
was Dios sharing its shiny new tunes

Psychedelic Furs, Sept. 18, Club Nokia
Chuckle if you will at the old demographic,
but the hits hold up well despite the high traffic

Happy Mondays, Sept. 18, Club Nokia
Not quite so scenic, this memory lane,
but happy the Mondays can still stand the strain

Amusement Parks on Fire, Sept. 18, Club Nokia
Quite the show-stealer, young Michael Feerick;
well, if not the show at least some of my hearing

Sea Wolf, Troubadour, Sept. 17
The sophomore album offers much cause to swoon,
but on this night the live Sea Wolf ends none too soon

Afternoons, Troubadour, Sept. 17
Must give them credit, they grow and they hustle,
operatic rock with big heart and muscle

Sara Lov, Troubadour, Sept. 17
With backing tracks coming from vinyl and needle,
Lov’s clarion vocals were comfort, indeed
