Live Review: Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, April 10

April 13, 2012 Gigs, Live Reviews, Reviews 1 Comment

By Stephanie Roman

Trusting his senses, Anthony Kiedis scans the crowd and notes: “Everything feels good here tonight — looks right, smells right.” Rocking out since 1983, the Chili Peppers’ tribal beat goes on. The band’s longtime members Kiedis, Flea, and Chad Smith return to the road to support their latest record, I’m With You (Warner Bros., 2011). Josh Klinghoffer, the band’s new guitarist, and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco also appear on this tour. … Continue Reading

Live Review: Paul Simon at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, December 2

December 5, 2011 Live Reviews, Reviews No Comments

By Rosie Judd

It was truly a treat to see Paul Simon perform at the Areana at Gwinnett Center Friday night, surrounded by an eight-piece multi-cultural ensemble. The set list showcased a veritable history of rhythm starting with the crowd-pleaser “Boy In A Bubble” which brought about a standing ovation from the enthusiastic arena crowd. Simon kept the audience on a rhythmical journey emphasizing multi-cultural grooves and syncopations in songs like “Dazzling Blue” and his medley of “Hearts and Bones” and blues standard “Mystery Train.” At times there were four of five musicians on percussion instruments alone, inspiring the audience to groove along in our seats.

Live Review: Foo Fighters at The Arena at Gwinnett Center, November 7

November 9, 2011 Gigs, Live Reviews 1 Comment

By Justin Lyons

Foo Fighters have a good problem on their hands: They can play soaring rock anthems for three hours straight.  It’s actually more of an issue for their fans that barely have time to catch their breath.  From start to finish, there was hardly a moment that Dave Grohl and company weren’t shaking their sweaty locks as they expertly enthralled the near sell out Gwinnett Arena crowd. … Continue Reading

BOO! Hope we didn’t scare ya – just getting into the spirit of things for the epic Halloween celebrations this weekend. Not only are there a ton of gigs, where you are bound to see your favorite rockers and rappers in their most hilarious costumes, but there are also some madcap parties. Scoutmob’s sold-out extravaganza takes over the Goat Farm, with treats from Good Food Truck, Sugar-Coated Radical and more, and 99X’s Brouhaha is back again, with Wrongway and Ill-Communication playing the Sublime and Beastie Boys hits. So pick your poison, and have a ghastly, frightening holiday! … Continue Reading

Phew, this weekend is going to be a packed one! Guitar prodigies, rock legends, dance parties, rap stars, indie darlings – we can hardly breathe for choices. Or maybe that’s the oppressive heat. Either way, there’s plenty to keep your mind occupied. And there is a TON of shows going on sale this weekend too, to make you long even more for the cool temps of fall.  … Continue Reading

What’s Up Thursday?

I love nights like this is Atlanta! There are tons of great music events happening around the city tonight, so get on your shiniest shoes, and get out of the house… you can DVR your episodes of “Hammerhead Histories.” And check out below to find out just exactly why the woman in picture is still bringing all the lads to her yard.

-Well, it is appropriate that just because it is Shark Week, Australia’s best-haired country singer, Keith Urban will be psuedo-twanging it up at the Gwinnett Center… I am assuming though that the humidity here is probably a bit too much for his prettier half. He is here for two nights, where do you think he will be hanging out?

-If you have ever met Cassavettes frontman Robbie Horlick, the first thing you might notice is his gentle demeanor and soft voice; however, don’t let this fool you, Horlick is an indie pied piper, and his latest avenue, Book Club is having their LP release tonight at The EARL.

-Head over to Smith’s Olde Bar, if you are one of those folks who likes to say “I saw him perform when…” to see guitar prodigy Tyler Bryant prove why Vince Gill said, “To be 18 and play like this kid is the rarest of the rare. Hands down a future guitar god.”

-One of Atlanta’s well-respected rock bands, Trances Arc, will be scaling it down a bit for a rare performance at Eddie’s Attic with Rantings of Eva frontman Ryan Flanagan.

-Name this Tune-maker: Currently in Rolling Stone magazine, recently named one of Jezebel magazine’s most eligible Atlantans, and a general do-gooder? No it’s not  Besse Cooper (pictured above) the WORLD’S OLDEST PERSON! It’s Wesley Cook, who will be playing at the W Downtown’s Drinkshop Live!
