The Smiths: Hand In Glove (Live Video)
It's Friday, and what better way to kick off the weekend than a half-nude Morrissey prancing around a Parisian stage back in '84. They played a handful of tracks from the yet to be released "Meat Is Murder" LP at this show (more...)
Party Of Helicopters: Pounding For Vipers (Live Video)
I saw bands play in a lot of strange places, but I never saw a band play in a boxing/wrestling ring. Party Of Helicopters had that opportunity at this gym in Bakersfield. From the looks of it, they didn't bust out any Mexican Wrestling moves from the top rope. (More...)
Belle & Sebastian: The Boy With The Arab Strap (Live Video)
Belle & Sebastian are playing a unique show this evening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. If you don't live in Los Angeles, you may find it strange that a cemetery is hosting Belle & Sebastian, but Hollywood Forever is probably the only cemetery that has a "Cultural Events" section listed on their website.
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...)
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...)
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)
His Hero Is Gone – Chain Of Command (Live Video)
I wasn't properly introduced to Memphis' His Hero Is Gone until they put out their split 12" with Union Of Uranus back in '98. Their style of crust/metal never appealed to me as much as the Uranus side, but HHIG live was a whole other story (More...)
Lush – Ladykillers (Live Video)
This is a Lush performance on a UK show called "Hotel Babylon". I wasn't able to find any info about the show, the only info that came up for "Hotel Babylon" was a BBC drama from 2004-2009. That would have been awesome if they wrote Lush into an episode. Maybe it wouldn't have gotten the can had they done that. (More...)
Morrissey – Every Day Is Like Sunday (Live Video)
I generally don't think of the words "Morrissey" and "banjo" in the same sentence, but that all changed when I saw this clip. I didn't see him on the tour for You Are the Quarry, so I don't know if it was commonplace for him to perform with, or sans, banjo (More...)
Universal Order of Armageddon – Flux (Live Video)
Generally we post a live set on Monday, but today I wanted to get something up in the wake of all the feedback about how awesome the Universal Order of Armageddon show(s) on the east coast were this past weekend. (More...)
