Thursday @ Club Sound
Arriving at In The Venue, I found the entrance locked and the distinct vocals of La Dispute’s Jordan Dreyer blaring from the doors of Club Sound to the north. Walking through the sparsely filled venue, I looked over at the tiny (and I really mean tiny) stage in bewilderment. “Is this the stage Thursday’s playing on?” I asked the kid next to me. Oooh yeeeah. … read more
JP’s Blog: Sea Wolf & Ladyhawke
Weekends like this last one come along only once every September and they should be celebrated. Club Sound hosted Sea Wolf on Friday and Perez Hilton Presents on Saturday. … read more
The Australian Pink Floyd Show @ USANA
I don’t claim to love Pink Floyd more than any other guy but if I’ve had a few drinks, Pink Floyd is one of the subjects I can often talk about until those around me are tired of hearing it. … read more

Despite my unfamiliarity with much of his material, Cage has always intrigued me due to his traumatic life experiences, D.I.Y. attitude and generally anti-hip hop approach to things. When I saw he was coming to town, I knew it was a show I didn’t want to miss. … read more
Mike Watt @ Bar Deluxe
If the concept of sincerity were to take human form, it would have a hard time being anything other than San Pedro’s Mike Watt. A onetime member of the Minutemen, fIREHOSE and most recently The Stooges (whose reforming he really should take credit for), Watt has never been able to do anything half way. … read more
Jagermeister Music Tour
After only minor threats from the bouncer doing searches at the door, I was going to make sure that I had my photo pass. If I were seen taking pictures without it I would be forcibly removed (to put it lightly). … read more
