Odds n Ends

Last one before heading out to the desert, so this one's pretty low-impact. Just a few basic survival tips and tricks for bands and musicians on stage: basic (and easily corrected) mistakes we never needed to make, if we just had this information before we started out.

Tea Cozies

The Rendezvous

08/02/2013

Who:

Where:

When:

Finally-- finally!-- I caught up to the Tea Cozies and got to write them a show review. I was able to see them at The Rendezvous with Gang Cult and Charms with a Feldman-themed show for the birthday celebration for one of the Cozies (happy birthday, Brady!). Plenty of my metal or punk friends might not quite get this one, but I've been a huge Tea Cozies fan for many years, and I'm thrilled I got to write this one. Next time I see them, I won't be holding a camera.

Pay to Play

Aside

Raising awareness of the ticket-sales schemes that try to lure young bands into raising hundreds of dollars for lousy shows. Though they all say they are not Pay-to-Play, Afton Music, Gorilla Productions, and the like, want you to turn in ticket money to them before the show starts... paying the company before you play your show. For a comprehensive breakdown, visit NeverPayToPlay.com.

The Triple Sixes

Triple Sixes

The Comet

07/07/2013

Who:

Where:

When:

Caught The Triple Sixes at the Mia Zapata tribute show (and about half the other bands the played that night) at The Comet, adding some stomping, blasting, out of control punk rock to the mix. They closed out the night, and ended the tribute on a loud, fast, high note.
