However, knowing… Continue reading Where Did My Mind Go: The Pixies & Violent Femmes | Red Rocks

A couple of weeks ago Mike asked me to go to the Phix show at the Fox and write a review; I’m not going to write a review of a cover band, I told him.

The first night (8/10) was really nice. We had outstanding weather, and the crowd was mellow. As always there was lots of fun to be had in the parking lot and on the lawn. I like PNC – the people who work there aren’t lamers like the some of the people at Jones Beach. On… Continue reading The Dead @ Garden State Arts Center | Review
