TONIGHT: Furthur at The Joint

4 Oct

Awww yeah, looking forward to an exciting night ahead as Furthur rolls into town for what will be a fun filled evening of music at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel. After jamming Red Rocks in Colorado for three nights last week, we shall soon see what the fellas have up their sleeves for tonight’s shindig. It has been a little over a year since Furthur last graced the stage at The Joint and if it’s anything like that show, tonight should be another special one.  Curtain goes up at 8 p.m.

Video: Young The Giant – “My Body” at Austin City Limits

19 Sep

All I could think while watching the online stream of Young The Giant performing at ACL was, damn I wish I was there.  Wow, what a performance and crowd for the now it rockers.  Big congrats to them for making it big and drawing an insanely huge crowd that now knows how much fun their live shows are.  I’ve been lucky to see them in an intimate setting (Book & Stage at Cosmopolitan in Vegas) and a massive setting (main stage at Lollapalooza) and both have been solid, energetic shows.  Now I just  can’t wait until the next time I get to see them live.

If you missed the online stream, check out this video of YTG performing “My Body.”

Now Playing: The Joy Formidable and Catch Them Tonight, Vegas!

15 Sep

While it still kills me to not be heading to ACL this weekend, back here in Vegas I’ll still be doing my fair share of celebrating and it all kicks off tonight with The Joy Formidable.   Stoked about this show and now that the temps are cooling, should be an awesome night for an outdoor show at The Cosmopolitan.

Check out this video from Lollapalooza and I’ll see you at the show!

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 5 Days – Boy & Bear

31 Jul

Sunday, Aug. 7 – BMI Stage, 5:00 p.m.

Boy & Bear, I can’t get enough of this band.  Beyond stoked to see the kids from Down Under bring it in front of a huge crowd in Chicago.  I wrote about them a couple weeks ago and featured their single “Feeding Line” off their upcoming debut album Moon Fire which get this, drops August 5 (August 9 in the states) when Lollapalooza begins.  How’s that for a way to celebrate!

 

 

Tonight: The Avett Brothers, Tomorrow: G.Love & Special Sauce and more

22 Jul

Holy concerts!  Vegas is stacked this weekend with a ton of great shows.  For me, it’s simple; I’ve been waiting a while to see The Avett Brothers and they are the Friday night selection.  Tomorrow, I can’t stray from one of my favorite artists, G. Love.  I’m starting to lose count on how many of his shows I’ve been to and if his performance is anything like it was at Bonnaroo, oh man are we in for a treat.  Both are performing at the Silverton inside Veil which is almost as intimate of a venue as you can get in Vegas.

Also on Saturday, Queens Of The Stone Age play Cosmopolitan, Soundgarden is back and rocks out at The Joint, INXS is at Pearl at Palms and local jam band about to make it big, Moksha is at House of Blues.
