@KRBronson on Saturday’s final fling at SXSW: “How You Like Me Now?” – the title of the Heavy’s ubiquitous 2009 single – seemed like a relevant question Saturday at SXSW. The improbable emergence of the funk- and fire-breathing sextet from the hinterlands of England is a true underdog story: They nailed the Curtis Mayfield-meets-indie-rock formula […]
Eyes closed, head slightly bowed, hands clasped, Bob Mould stood silently for better than a minute at the conclusion of Monday night’s tribute concert at Disney Hall, letting the crowd’s warm ovation wash over him. The 51-year-old singer, guitarist and author had to be thinking something along the lines of: What a long, strange trip […]
‣ Bob Mould, whose three decades in rock includes seminal bands such as Hüsker Dü and Sugar and an estimable catalog of solo work, is feted in the program “See a Little Light: A Celebration of the Music and Legacy of Bob Mould” at Disney Hall. The program, hosted by veteran DJ Matt Pinfield, features […]
Tonight’s surprise Foo Fighters show apparently will be their final in the series – at least, that’s what I glean from Donna Summer’s “Last Dance” being streamed on the band’s audio player. Meanwhile, Dave Grohl and crew have sprung the “White Limo” video on fans (oh, Lemmy) and announced details of their new album “Wasted […]
Snow Patrol plays the Wiltern in advance of the Nov. 10 release of their best of compilation “Up to Now” and the Nov. 3 release of their (wait for it) DJ mix CD, “Late Night Tales”. There are several new recordings between these two releases, which means there may just be a few surprises tonight. […]
As Coachella on Sunday reverted to its familiar (and reliably ticket-selling) fallback position – best-of-the-1980s headliner – it was left to the kids to cut some edges. And in the 100-plus-degree heat of the Mojave Tent, that’s what” Vivian Girls, No Age and F’ked Up set out to do. The verdict? The kids are all […]
Saturday afternoon bloomed hotter than Friday at Coachella (and today temperatures promise to reach triple-digits), but the heat hardly discouraged early arrivers to the tents, where Ida Maria, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and the Bob Mould Band had the most promising early sets. Stickers touting Ida Maria’s chorus “I Like You Better When You’re Naked” […]
Bob Mould, two ticks short of 50 years old, played the Hotel Cafe on Monday night, and it’s no big deal that a middle-aged rocker with a shaven pate and the gray beard of an academic – especially a guy whose next album is called “Life and Times” – would wield his guitar at the […]
