PUNK IS THE NEW DISCO

March 25,

The Fifth Story Tenants work for the clampdown PHOTO by JENNIE WARREN March 20 | Art Theatre It's been some years since the last time I saw the Fifth Story Tenants

cover another band's song—at a particularly memorable party at the Booby

Trap—so I was excited to see the band (Paul Sharar, vocals and guitar;

Matt Sharar, bass; [...]

LIVE REVIEW: DARKER MY LOVE

February 4,

The Prospector | Feb 2 PHOTO by DAVID THORNTON The nation was still recovering from Springsteen's Super Bowl crotch

slam when Darker My Love plugged in their instruments Monday night at

the Prospector, and the stadium-ready rock only carried on with their

performance—no doubt a special treat for proud birthday boy and booker

Billgazer, who'd been trying [...]

Live Review: Dave Navarro and J. Mello ILLUSTRATION by ERIN SMITH Sachi Bar | Fri Dec. 12 Hard to say exactly why Friday night's Dave Navarro/J. Mello show at

Sachi Bar ended after six songs, but it would be easy to point to the

jerk who threw a bottle of water on stage. That's what the go-go dancer

LIVE REVIEW: NADA SURF

September 3,

AUGUST 28 SAMUELI THEATRE Cheery audience sing-alongs, calls for hand clapping and impromptu

choreography—bump up the set time by eight hours and this could have

been a toddler bop show, the sort of thing that unbridled cynicism

usually deflates but tonight was just my favorite bits of pop rock &

roll, fully realized. The set began [...]

TOTALLY FLOORED

August 20,

STAG BITTEN AND BAD PARENTS | THE BAD PAD | AUG 15 PHOTO by FEVER DRAGON Every piece of furniture was turned up on edge and stuffed

unceremoniously into the kitchen at the Bad Pad (a house on Seventh

Street) before Stag Bitten went on. Stag Bitten are from Portland—but

like most Portland bands, none of them [...]

LIVE REVIEW: DENGUE FEVER

June 18,

SAT | JUNE 14 JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK PHOTO by JEFF GOULD According to the program, this Juneteenth celebration was (among other

things) a way to "build bridges of understanding between different

cultures." This made Dengue Fever—a Cambodian-psych-revival band whose

Sinn Sisamouth-style rock was the subject of a dedicated documentary—a

perfect choice. (And even more appropriate is [...]

EIN KLEINE NACHT MUSIC

May 7,

9 BEET STRETCH OCMA SAT-SUN | MAY 3-4 It's hard to imagine that Leif Inge, the sound artist behind 9 Beet

Stretch, ever listened to this piece in its entirety. But I haven't,

either. In fact, I doubt anyone has. 9 Beet Stretch is a 24-hour

rendition of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, with each note slowed [...]

LIVE REVIEW: MOEDOG DARLING

December 12,

BROADLIND CAFE DEC 8 PHOTO by LONNIE NGUYEN Rainy Saturday ArtWalk at Broadlind Cafe: There's adorable Abraham

Lincoln art on the wall and coffee brewing behind the counter and,

before us, Moedog Darling (aka Marisa Predisik) just a girl with a

guitar—or, on some songs, ukulele—and a soft/sweet good-time voice.

"Velvety" comes to mind, and I almost [...]

LIVE REVIEW: DON CABALLERO & TELOMERE REPAIR

December 5,

PHOTO by LONNIE NGUYEN

ALEX'S BAR FRI | NOV 30 Another cold cozy smoky boozy Friday night at Alex's, and familiar

faces greet each other and duck to the bar quick-like for a tall can of

PBR. In the house tonight is Don Caballero, and the music cognoscenti of

Long Beach come out for the rare opportunity [...]

LIVE REVIEW: TINARIWEN

November 7,

TEMPLE BAR SAT | NOV 3 The members of Tinariwen play Saharan desert blues like they invented

them, and as far as this world music neophyte knows, maybe they did . .

. though the music itself sounds like it comes from a time and place

much older than anything our American innovators knew about. "World
