Daughters of the Sun and Jonas Reinhardt at The Show Cave,

Daughters of the Sun

HOLY HELL! They're the

Aural manifestation

Of horseback riding!

Jonas Reinhardt

They're invincible.

We were rendered powerless -

Our moves, their command.

Dam Funk at The Smell, 5/5/11

Feels inherently

Right to see such music live,

Yet so rare... a treat!

Mudhoney and The Adolescents at the Echoplex, 5/1/11

The Adolescents

Provided us a
Clear reminder of what high
School was all about.

Mudhoney

Their proficiency,
The sole indicator of
Their age - such a VOICE!

The Tindersticks at the Luckman Center for the Arts, 4/20/11

The most affective

Public intimacy I

Have ever witnessed

Tinylittle and Plasma Centre at The Smell, 4/22/11

Tinylittle

Personality
And vim radiated from each
Fireball of a song

Plasma Centre

Their magnetic lead
Singer was but one of the
Charms of their live set

The Miracles Club at Where's Yr Child at Show Cave, 4/14/11

Timeless, in that I

Could forget the concept of
Time in their presence

Linda Perhacs at McCabes Guitar Shop, 4/10/11

As reverent as
In a church pew, we soaked her
In, captivated.

HONORARY HAIKU: LCD Soundsystem at Madison Square Garden (live streamed on Pitchfork.tv), 4/2/11

To this moment, I

Am hard-pressed to control the

Emotions they stir.

Thanks for the everything, LCD. Especially that Harry Nilsson cover at the end there.

Suzi Star, Fielded, M. Geddes Gengras and Sneaky Snake at The Eagle Rock Log Cabin by George, 4/1/11

Suzi Star

Robotic fairy

Tale of curiosity

And tender promise.

M. Geddes Gengras

Cyborg argument

Conducted over inter-

Galactic wavelengths.

Fielded

Her astute, graceful

Latticework of sound is all

I want to hear now.

Sneaky Snake

Set their morning scene,

Then vibrated it awake

With beat flirtations.

Salem, Gatekeeper and Light Asylum at The Echoplex, 3/29/11

Gatekeeper

Once they crossed

That acclimation threshold,

They fucking killed it.

Light Asylum

Operatic yet

Pendulous, 'tween Soul Stirrer

And Billy Idol.

Salem

An uninspired mess

Of affected, pompous, mean-

Hearted jacking off.
