The Blind Shake Will Melt Your Face
I love The Blind Shake. Back in August of 2009, Ovipositor (my former band) played at Thee Parkside in SF with the Minneapolis trio — Dave on drums, Jim on Guitar / vocals and Mike on baritone guitar / vocals … Continue reading
SLEEP, Regency Ballroom, SF CA, September 2010
In the pantheon of stoner rock, SLEEP reigns supreme. Anyone fortunate enough to witness their live performance, especially on this month’s brief reunion tour (with Neurosis’ Jason Roeder sitting on drums in place of Chris Hakius), surely stands in agreement…if … Continue reading

Them Crooked Vultures, Fox Theater, Oakland CA 11.19.09
