Dirty Tactics Show Review
I was in a bad mood when I went to Burt’s Tiki Lounge to see Bring Your Guns. They were playing with bands I had never heard. Thus, I was speaking aural atrocities and dealing with unbearable boredom. I walked nervously into Burt’s, ordered the hipster ambrosia (PBR), and settled into a corner. … read more

Flogging Molly Show Review
I love Flogging Molly. I love their music, and I used to love their live shows. Unfortunately, I think that they’ve just given way to popular demand to continue playing medium-sized venues. … read more

Coheed & Cambria/Clutch/The Fall Of Troy Show Review
You know a show was good if you go to sleep that night, dream about it and when your alarm goes off in the morning your sleeping mind transforms it into a song from the set the night before. … read more

Nightwish/Paradise Lost Show Review
To say Nightwish put on the best show I’ve ever seen would be a gross understatement. This Finnish metal band with the majority of their US fanbase seemingly underground has made their way into the states for the first time in their 11-year career, and it’s all due to a recent member change that has left the group stronger than ever. … read more

Regina Spektor Show Review
Relaxing is not the first word that jumps to anyone’s mind when describing your typical show at In The Venue. But, then again, Regina Spektor has proved time and time again that she is anything but the typical performer. … read more

As I Lay Dying Show Review
The last time I attended a show out at the Saltair Pavilion was about 10 years ago, and my goodness has it changed. Out with the “nearly abandoned warehouse” atmosphere, this old building has really shaped up to be pretty nice venue. Everybody touch up your sleeve tattoos and put on the tough guy scowl, a heavy metal show is coming to town! … read more

Witchcraft Show Review
No personal offense to Will Sartain, but his new band The Future of the Ghost really did not belong on this bill. I’m sure some people will dig on these guys as they play out more, and Will is a very talented individual, but they kind of disrupted the whole vibe of the evening, at least for me. … read more
