The Monday Set – Low – Richmond – February 19, 2001

Back in the days before handy portable digital audio recorders, the enterprising fan was often at a loss when wanting to preserve some memory of a beloved band's live show (especially when such shows were legendary, and didn't often happen near said enterprising fan's place of residence).

Swans: The Man With The Silver Tongue (Live Video)

Recently reformed Swans kicked off their tour a couple of days ago on the east coast. Unfortunately for me, there are no plans to visit Los Angeles any time soon. I caught them on tour for The Great Annihilator and it was one of the most amazing shows I saw in the '90s. (More...)

The Wooden Birds – Seven Seventeen (Live)

The Wooden Birds is Andrew Kinney’s new band after the much lamented demise of American Analog Set. Whatever praise AmAnSet has gleaned from its singularly methodical approach to song structures is highly deserved and have several beautiful slow-burn classics to top the 2000′s releases. (More...)

The Monday Set – Wintersleep – New Orleans – 9/24/10

Let me start by saying I love Wintersleep. I don't know what it is about them; something visceral, I think. On their albums, they're more sedate than they are live, and I guess seeing them live first was what really turned me on to them. (More...)

New Model Army – 225 (Live)

New Model Army fall in the arena of The Alarm and U2 as far as articulate UK-based rock bands formed in the early 80s that were able to successfully address social conscious subjects. NMA more so than the other UK peers ran a bit closer to reaching Midnight Oil type levels of urgency and contemporary topicality (More...)

Fugazi – Blueprint (Live Video)

Here's an "In On The Kill Taker"-era clip that a friend of mine shot the first time Fugazi played in Iowa. It would be a full 2 years before I saw them play for the first time in South Dakota. (More...)

The Monday Set: Gus Gus – Roskilde – 6/27/97

One of the most memorable shows I attended in the '90s was Gus Gus at First Avenue in Minneapolis. On tour for their Polydistortion record, they put on a multimedia show which was on par with what you would see today which was unheard of at the time. (More...)

Unwound – Laugh Track (Live Video)

I missed my last opportunity to see Unwound when they played at All Tomorrow's Parties here in Los Angeles. I figured instead of seeing them play a huge venue/festival, I would catch them next time. Unfortunately there was never a "next time" as they broke up a few months later. (More)

The Monday Set: Stars – Amsterdam – 9/5/10

Montreal band Stars are touring in support of their new self-released album The Five Ghosts, which is pretty rock-solid. In brief, it seems that they're now attempting to take over The Cardigans' idea (circa 1998 - Gran Turismo-era) to process their their analog instruments so they sound electronic...and (also just like The Cardigans) I like it.

Beach House – Used to Be, Silver Soul (Live)

Currently riding a wave of buzz in the indie scene, the Baltimore, MD based duo Beach House has been touring to support the release of their third album "Teen Dream." This stop of their tour found them opening up for The National at Brooklyn's Prospect Park. I was not very familiar with their material, but my trusted friend has been trumping them up for some time (More...)
