Delorean Live Show at Music on the Oval
Last Wednesday, July 7th, Spanish band Delorean played an incredible live show in New York City. Despite the heatwave that was currently taking over, Delorean managed to get everyone in the crowd dancing. What amazed me was that every song was consistently good. There was never a point where I found myself waiting for the [...]
The National Play A Successful Two-Day Romp In Boston’s House Of Blues
The National have certainly grown a bit from the last time I saw them way back when their albums weren’t listed on all music blogs’ “top ten albums of the year.” So it’s pretty exciting to see them even more comfortable in their own shoes, with a backing horn section, swapping instruments and places on [...]

As far as concerts go, I think whether one is left feeling that a show is satisfying or not depends first on the attitude he or she goes into the venue with in the first place. Clearly, a sold-out crowd for Third Eye Blind and openers Alpha Rev at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel last Tuesday night [...]
An Evening With Wilco at Lupo’s proves to be a hugely satisfying one
To the sold out crowd who spent their Easter Sunday nights packed liked sardines in the Heartbreak Hotel in downtown Providence, there was an excitable energy in the air for some good ol’ alt-country. True to form of the past few tour legs, Wilco opened the anticipated set with “Wilco (the song)”, and then proceeded [...]
Punk rock veterans Alkaline Trio in full stride at Lupo‘s
Chicago-based punk threesome Alkaline Trio have seen much throughout the years (it’s no secret that much of the band’s grungy-punk music revolves around dark themes such as addiction, depression, arson, and love, to name a few) and were no strangers to a crowded, energized Lupo’s audience. These guys – guitarist Matt Skiba, bassist Dan Andriano, [...]
