The Radio Dept. @ Petit Campus

It’s strange how you remember the exact moment when you got into a band. In some cases, I think of people that got me into certain bands. For example:


The Decemberists + Wye Oak @ L'Olympia

WHAT? You missed the Decemberists show? Awwwwww nuts! 

Yes, the tickets were pretty damn expensive (35$). Yes, it was cold as hell… and yes, I nearly destroyed a defective parking meter outside the Olympia theatre. If you saw me swearing and kicking machine #Q045, please don’t think any less of me; I was having a “case of the Mondays”.


Finger Eleven @ Threatre Corona

Alright, so like most people I first got a taste of Finger Eleven in the mid 90s.  I heard "Above" off of Tip and I was sold, and after The Greyest of Blue Skies came out I really started to follow them heavily.  I managed to catch them for a whopping one dollar and five cents at a show in my home town that was put on by a local radio station.  The show was fantastic, and after that I even made a trek three hours away to catch them in Pittsburgh.
 


Tokyo Police Club +Two Door Cinema Club + P.S. I Love You @ Club Soda

There I was on a Sunday night, sitting in one of the side balconies at Club Soda and thinking, "who does a show on a Sunday night?" Isn't Sunday night meant for rest after a long weekend? I guess I'm getting too old. Or is it just the fatigue of partying all weekend? It felt weird since usually I take pictures at concerts but for a change I was there to review the show.


Badfish @ Club Soda

As a Sublime tribute band, Rhode Island-based Badfish takes on the tricky task of satisfying diehard fans of the legendary 90's group from California and its late, great lead singer, Bradley Nowell.
