For many of those who embrace the wonders of psychedelic/exploratory music, it starts with Pink Floyd and ends with the countless musical spawns they have subsequently inspired in the the years that have followed since the 1967 release of the seminal Piper At The Gates of Dawn debut record. Whether a friend or sibling introduced [...] Related posts:

It’s not surprise that social media has really changed the way many artists can make a living these days.

You may remember me gushing recently about how much I enjoyed the Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain set while I was at High Sierra; easily some of the best music I heard all weekend. The trio just stopped by NPR and proceeded to blow their minds as well. “Beyond category.” That’s what Duke [...] Related posts:

This weekend was a weird and somewhat disappointing one for live music news (that is, unless you’re a String Cheese Incident fan — more on that shortly). The tragedy being what it is following Love Parade in Germany, I’d hate to highlight something so devastating when there’s perhaps a more useful, half-hearted set of headlines [...] Related posts:

I saw my first taste of the band Albino! this past Friday night at the Elbo Room, and our friends at PATD have a review from the show. It’s nice to catch this band in a small venue. With such a huge sound, you can be sure you’ll be seeing them around the bay for [...] Related posts:

Horrible news coming out of Duisburg, Germany this weekend following the start of the Love Parade music festival, one of the world’s largest music festivals. A closure at the festival gate at the end of a tightly enclosed tunnel forced a stampede of people, resulting in 19 dead and reports of at least 340 people [...] Related posts:

So Aaron and I have been friends of Justin’s for a while, and while there’s no question in our minds that he completely adores the Phish from Vermont, it’s become increasingly obvious over the years that he doesn’t quite know the whole deal.

This year must be an interesting one if you’ve been following the work of the String Cheese Incident.
