FOTOBOM: THE SMILE + ROBERT STILLMAN @ ROADRUNNER

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted November 19, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

Radiohead is in a fairly unique position among rock bands in the current age. Right about the time that Thom Yorke decided he’d had enough of leading an alt.rock guitar band, they have been making fearless choices that have paid off handsomely. I’m sure there are tiny pockets of ...  read more

FOTOBOM: MERCYFUL FATE, KREATOR + MIDNIGHT @ MGM MUSIC HALL

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted November 15, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

Not many performers have the vocal range or theatrical flair that King Diamond has, a self-avowed Satanist that (along with Alice Cooper and Kiss) influenced a large forest-full of Scandinavian metal bands to streak their faces with black and white paint. After Mercyful Fate sputtered to an ...  read more

FOTOBOM: KURT VILE AND THE VIOLATORS + COME @ ROYALE

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted November 5, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

If there’s a direct lineage between any Matador Records bands, the slack line definitely extends from Pavement to Kurt Vile. His laconic, meandering style isn’t quite the trademarked Californian laid back, but you’d be hard pressed to peg him as a  ...  read more

FOTOBOM: METRIC + SECRET MACHINES AT HOUSE OF BLUES

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted October 27, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC

What’s the best way to chase away the lingering clouds and fog that seem to have become a chronic companion to our city? Hit ’em with a blast of high energy dance rock, and that’s exactly what Metric did. Playing songs from their newest Doomscroller record and peppering ...  read more

FOTOBOM: IRON MAIDEN + WITHIN TEMPTATION @ DCU CENTER

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted October 23, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

FOTOBOM: JUDAS PRIEST + QUEENSRŸCHE @ MGM MUSIC HALL

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted October 20, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

When you’ve got fifty years of doing something under your belt, sometimes that wear and tear mileage racks up. This past May the Judas Priest show was canceled just hours before the start time as Rob Halford’s voice was shot, and almost exactly a year ago guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered ...  read more

FOTOBOM: FONTAINES D.C. + WUNDERHORSE @ HOUSE OF BLUES

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted October 15, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC, Reviews

Canceled shows are a way of life these days and you never know if the show will be scheduled at a later date or just slated completely. When this strikes a band who flies overseas to play shows here, all bets are off as to whether or not the show will occur as another level or two of logistical ...  read more

FOTOBOM: JULIA JACKLIN @ THE PARADISE

Written by TIM BUGBEE Posted October 11, 2022 Filed Under: Fotobom, MUSIC

Laryngitis felled the planned show a few weeks ago but Julia Jacklin made sure she played The Paradise before heading back home to summer in Australia. At least she didn’t have to play through a stomach ulcer like her Great Scott some years back, which she claimed was her worst show ...  read more
