Yellow Magic Orchestra with Yoko Ono at The Hollywood Bowl, 6/26/11
YMO
Flawless, they are,
In each imaginable way,
Especially
there.
Yoko Ono
Epic, fearless, and
Above all, charming, she asked
of us only love.

Ms. Stevie Raya
His monopoly
On placing words perfectly
Renders haikus trite.
Psychic Reality and Sex Worker at Where's Yr Child NYC, 6/3/11
Psychic Reality
Soulful, sensual,
She brought perhaps the hardest
Dance groove of the night.
Sex Worker
Oozing with pain and
Candid emotion, his was
An arrow heart-bound.

Sun Araw and Matthewdavid at 285 Kent St, Brooklyn, 6/5/11
Matthewdavid
When he finds his sweet
Spot, the result arrests me
And demands movement.
Sun Araw
Coiled tightly around
A central notion of thick,
Serious grooving.
La Big Vic with Future Shuttle at The Kave Cafe (Vibes Mgmt HQ) in Bushwick, NYC, 6/4/11
Future Shuttle
Jellyfish tunes from
Unorthodox instruments
In campfire circles.
La Big Vic
One of those upper-
Echelon bands that warrant
More syllables' praise:
I'm thrilled to have seen this band play. Their aural scope is interesting in a completely inviting way and I plan on listening to the hell out of that record this summer.
The Undertones with Exploding Flowers and The Sweater Girls at The Echoplex, 6/2/11
Exploding Flowers
Familiar like
A fantasy jukebox in
A time-travel dream.
The Sweater Girls
Perhaps put best by
A bathroom goer: "Well, this
Is funny music..."
The Undertones
So abundant,
Their excellence and fervor,
Like 5 shows in one.
