Make Your Exit.
Origin: Toronto, Canada
Album: Remind Me the Reason I Came
Release: September 22nd, 2009
This five-piece emo style indie band is something you would hear on ‘Nick and Norah’s Playlist’ and ‘Juno’. Slow beats and moody sounds topped with tons of vocals, overlapped and inarticulate.
“Compared to the likes of Midlake and Fleet Foxes, Make Your Exit […]

Mayhem Festival
8/12/2009
Event Rating: ★★★½☆
Venue: Cruzan Amphitheatre – West Palm Beach, FL
Presented by: Live Nation
Oh, Mayhem Festival, a night of insane guitar riffs and gratuitous head banging. The night opened on the main stage with Welsh metal heads, Bullet for My Valentine. The four rockers put on a good show headed by front man Matt Tuck. […]
Paramore
6/4/2009
Event Rating: ★★★☆☆
(non collaborated)*
Paramore is the kind of band that is better live than on the radio. Their live energy really adds to their music. Jeremy really stood out and rightly so the guy is awesome; a really good performer. His priceless back flip over Josh’s back really got the crowd going.

No Doubt

Event Rating: ★★★★★
(non collaborated)*
I can’t recall whether I was in the audience or if I was on this extension of the stage, hanging out, and having a good time making music with a few of my friends. Or at least that’s how it felt.
Sometimes it takes a girl’s touch, a cool girl’s touch, to make […]
NIN|JA (Nine Inch Nails + Jane’s Addiction)
5/8/2009
Event Rating: ★★★★☆
(non collaborated)*
NIN was a little disappointing. Just because 1) the selection of songs was weird, and 2) the crew Trent had playing with him.
Trent had a new drummer, guitarist and bass player and they were just not as good as the “Beside You in Time” crew… not musically just […]
Motley Crue

Event Rating: ★★☆☆☆
(non collaborated)*
As one would expect from experience musicians the concert started without a hitch. Everything started great the instruments were balanced and the voice sounded great. After about the 5th song Bret’s voice started to sound like Mickey Mouse [was someone behind the booth with a pitch modulator?]. As time passed on […]
TOOL

Event Rating: ★★★½☆
(non collaborated)*
TOOL is undoubtedly a great band, musically. This point is hard to argue. However, live, they may not be what you had expected.
This particular show was when Danny just got back from injuring his arm. Despite the injury he still played great. Of course as one could understand, he needed to take […]
AC/DC

Event Rating: ★★★★½
(non collaborated)*
I can only recall the words of Brian Johnson who said, at the beginning of the tour: “I don’t want people to come see us and say ‘we should have seen them 10 years ago’”. Well, according to the crowd’s response, I don’t believe anyone at the show thought that. Thousand of […]
