What’s the first gig you ever attended? Clutch: Back in ’88 I went down to the old 9:30 club in Washington D.C. with my older brother to see Circle Jerks. The show was sold out but we hung around the ticket office for a little while anyways because you could hear the music pretty well […]

Neko Case Plays 40 Watt in Athens on May 18
By Al Kaufman The reasons to worship at the Church of Neko are many: It could be that fiery red hair. It could be her uninhibited desire to make and be around art. It could be her love for the environment that often comes out in her songs. How about the fact that she made […]
Live Review: Jimmy Eat World at 40 Watt, February 7
