Picture Book and Live Review: Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers @ Smith’s Olde Bar, October 3rd

Photos by: CatMax Photography, LLC, Review by Catrina Maxwell I have to be honest when I was first asked to cover Nicki Bluhm I said yes, but had no idea who Nicki Bluhm was. There seemed to be some buzz about some YouTube videos called the “Van Sessions”. With two shows packed in one night […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Metric @ the Tabernacle October 1st, 2012.

It’s my newly “professional” opinion that two nights in a row at the Tabernacle is not a bad thing. With Animal Collective on Sunday and then Metric on Monday, the venue was able to feed my hunger for two completely separate genres of great music. Openers, Half Moon Run entered the Tabernacle for their performance […]

Picture Book and Review: Grimes, Elite Gymnastics, and Myths @ The Basement at Graveyard, October 1st

Photos By Hillery Terenzi, Review by Chandler Mays In today’s music scene, the notion of an “overnight success” has become status quo. One minute, you’re making electronic music in your bedroom, and you’re known locally thanks to your friends’ Facebook shares; the next minute you have a stamp of approval from Pitchfork, your amateur DIY […]

Picture Book & Live Review: CounterPoint Music Festival Day 3, Saturday September 29th.

Saturday marked the third and final day of the first ever Counter.Point. It’s my personal opinion that they saved the best for last. Some of my local favorites Cousin Dan and Reptar played early in the day, then Skrillex and Pretty Lights closed the party out with remarkable acts in-between. Cousin Dan never disappoints and […]

Picture Book & Live Review: CounterPoint Music Festival Day 2, Friday September 28th

  Day two of Counter.Point started a bit rough. With the weather being somewhat hurricane-esq, a few sets were cancelled due to the entire festival needing to be evacuated.  Regardless of the chaotic clouds that were looming over the farm grounds, the amazingly fresh new festival began again around 4:30 with a super fun set […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Animal Collective @ the Tabernacle; September 30, 2012

Up until the release of “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” Animal Collective would seriously weird me out.  Because of their insanely popular “My Girls,” I decided to give them another chance. Suddenly everything changed, maybe I became a little bit more open to their insanely experimental and psychedelic sound, or something else I can’t quite explain, but […]

Picture Book & Live Review: CounterPoint Music Festival Day 1, Thursday, September 27th.

  Photos & Review By Taylor Wallace: With this being the first annual CounterPoint Festival nobody knew exactly what to expect but immediately upon entrance to the festival grounds attendees knew that this was going to be a completely unique experience.  The grounds entailed 2 enormous tent stages, the “Beat Tent” and the “Back Beat […]
