I saw Beats Antique, The Floozies, Aaron Axelsen, 8th Grader, and a whole bunch of DJ's I don't know in the Silent Frisco tent. I drank rockstar, ate a weird vegan "cheese" "burger" and realized I LOVE FESTIVALS!Continue Reading

You need to know when to slow a set down, speed it up, and work the crowd, etc, etc… Timing is something I need to get better at when writing these reviews. (and forget excuses, sure I’m busy and have...Continue Reading

This is a review I’ve been looking forward to writing. I never know for sure what I’m going to get when I go see a band. Yeah, I can listen to the new single from a band, stream the album online and even enjoy the music on a CD (Yes I still listen to cd’s)…...Continue Reading

As a youth, Duncan ‘DonCat’ Nielsen’s grandma gave him an odd pile of European released Beach Boys tapes, which lead him to the record store searching for other oddities. Coming from a family of music enthusiasts, including a dad with a penchant for Cream and the blue shades of Jimi Hendrix, a brother with drum...Continue Reading
