Win Tix: Los Lobos & Los Lonely Boys @ the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater, 5/18
More than three decades have passed since Los Lobos released their debut album, Just Another Band from East L.A. Since then they’ve repeatedly disproven that title; Los Lobos isn’t “just another” anything, but rather a band that has consistently evolved artistically while never losing sight of their humble roots. After proving themselves one of the [...]
Interview with Kelley from The Trishas playing Eddie’s Attic 5/15
By: Shelby Lum Some may see touring with four women, and four strong personalities as more than just a challenge, but The Trishas see it as more than just a bus full of estrogen and a whole lot of shoes. For the all-woman, roots band, the four people who make up the group define the [...]

Picture Book & Review: Polica & Smashing Pumpkins 5/10
Photos by: CatMax Photography, LLC Review by: Ellen Eldridge I really forgot to pay too much attention to the opening act, Polica, because I was taking in the cool night air and the ambiance of the amphitheatre.

After he began attending Full Sail University in Florida, he began making his [...]
Picture Book & Review: Phoenix and Urge Overkill @ The Tabernacle 5/9
Photos and Review by: Catrina Maxwell of CatMax Photography, LLC As you walked into the Tabernacle you could feel the excitment of the sold out crowd. Every inch of this venue was packed. We were able to score a seat on the very top level of the Tabernacle. I had never sat that high up [...]

Q&A with Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio; Playing Center Stage on May 11
