Smashing Pumpkins Nov 6th 2008 in NYC

User Reviews — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:18:12 +0000

Smashing Pumpkins 11-06-08 United Palace Theater NY, NY A truly terrible performance of the Smashing Pumpkins last night in NYC. Billy insulted the crowd, played a 35 minute jam session that no one could appreciate, came out to an encore singing “Everyone is Beautiful” which got...

Pumpkins Disappoint Fans in Toronto

User Reviews — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:06:26 +0000

Smashing Pumpkins. Nov 3rd 2008 Massey Hall Toronto, Ontario I love the Pumpkins, but their Nov 3rd show in Toronto’s Massey Hall was a major disappointment. They played a few of their hits, and for the rest of the performance, basically just jammed out… It was quite pointless, and was...

The Horrorpops - October 27, 2008 - Emo’s, Austin TX

Dara — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:05:25 +0000

the motivation for this outing – this band has twice been the “best show ever” that I missed and Rockboy saw – they definitely knew how to work a crowd though I found the mix of psychobilly and exhortations to chant “Hell Yeah!” disconcerting (it’s the name of their album…but still - I attributed...

Screaming Females - October 27, 2008 - Emo’s, Austin TX

Dara — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:04:05 +0000

a Chronicle-recommended show despite distinctly being non-headliners and they were great, band centers around the wailing tiny female (almost a la Ole Grand Party but with less drama) with shaggy brown hair who was simultaneously playing lead guitar, excellent steamrolling hard rock riffs with...

Beat Union - October 27, 2008 - Emo’s, Austin TX

Dara — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:02:57 +0000

I still don’t like this band – annoying pop punk with heavy new wave influences – Elvis Costello does not belong on the punk platter – it’s not that they’re poor musicians or lacking in professionalism or passion - and when they spoke with their little accents and used words like “geezer” without...

Cold War Kids - October 24, 2008 - Waterloo Records, Austin TX

Dara — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:58:46 +0000

the high quality of their sound was immediately apparent – rich and full despite it being an acoustic show, I take note of them because of the distinctive voice but that actually became annoying – seemed contrived – he does have a good voice but could change up on its nasally execution every now...

Madonna TD Banknorth Garden Boston, MA October 15, 2008

Andrew — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:46:26 +0000

Despite ticket prices coming down across the board, Madonna is still selling out shows with the top ticket price at $350. Who has that kind of money to spend? It’s a rhetorical question. Don’t answer. Madonna makes a convincing case for forking over the money, from the elaborate...

The Derailers - October 7, 2008 - Waterloo Records, Austin TX

Dara — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:24:11 +0000

80s Texas country cool lead singer (suit, gum-chomping, Elvis sneer, and sunglasses indoors) ended every song with a gimmicky Elvis-like thank you – there’s no doubt that they’re good at what they do but also true that 1000s have already done what they do – wide range of country, rock and pop –...

The Strange Boys - October 3, 2008 - B-Scene at Blanton Museum of Art, Austin TX

Dara — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:23:13 +0000

the Chronicle was correct to classify this band within the cream of Austin – they are infectious plus interesting enough to be enduring - the lead singer is inexpressibly darling and delicious, in his dark elfish-ness with a T Rex voice and mischievous knowing smiles – with his voice and a...
