PHOTOS | 33’s CD release show at The Oasis

March 16, 2009 – 10:00 am

Veteran Charleston punk band the 33’s blew out the doors on Friday night at the Oasis. It’s been a while since I’ve seen dudes sporting the classic twin fin mohawk, but it worked. The pit spun, boots stomped, and people had a good time. Here’s some photos:

PHOTOS | Columbians invade the Tin Roof

February 23, 2009 – 11:47 am

I made it down to the Tin Roof on Saturday night and caught two bands from up north, well two hours up north anyway. Openers The Unawares had a cool pust-punk vibe going and delivered a solid set of swingers and bangers. Death Becomes Even the Maiden cranked it up a few notches and stoked [...]

December 22, 2008 – 2:49 pm

The guys from New Music Collective held their annual performance of Unsilent Night on Sunday. The music, by Phil Kline, is divided into four distinct recordings and passed out to any number of boomboxes. The goal is to gather a bunch of people together and have all boomboxes play their tracks simultaneously and walk through [...]

David Byrne put on an incredible show that filled the Performing Arts Center last night. Dressed in all white along with his band, singers, and dancers, he carried the crowd through decades of diverse and brilliant music. At the end, he rewarded the crowd with no less than 4 encores, including a crowd stomping rendition [...]

Wilco put on a fantastic show last Thursday at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. Fans packed the place as Wilco returned to make up for missing a gig to play Saturday Night Live. All was forgiven and they rocked a diverse set with two encores.  Here’s some shots I got that night:

May 30, 2008 – 2:24 pm

The Reggae block party last Saturday wasn’t really my scene so I left early. On the walk back I heard some welcome heavy guitar bouncing out of the Music Farm. I decided to stop in and see who it was and found Souls Harbor cranking out an opening set. Amy Hutto (98x) [...]

Photos: The many faces of Joe Buck

April 24, 2008 – 3:59 pm

Hillbilly proto-demon Joe Buck played the Black Cart last night and delivered one of the most intense and inspiring shows I’ve seen in a long time. He sat near the edge of the stage with a guitar and a drum pedal and channeled old and primevil energies straight through the crowd. I guess he’s known [...]

April 9, 2008 – 4:08 pm

Local metalheads turned out in force last Friday night, bringing 400+ to the Music Farm. Warbringer brought at least a hundred of those into the pit and delivered a pummeling set. UnexpecT turned out bizarre circus metal with mind bending timing changes. And, of course, Nile growled and machine-gunned their way into [...]

Snake Oil Medicine Show photos

January 7, 2008 – 11:29 am

I got a chance to see the newly re-united Snake Oil Medicine Show at the Pour House on Saturday. They decorated the stage with all kinds of toys art and blacklights, creating a surreal glow around happy people playing happy music. Frisky fiddler Caroline Pond shined with one of the most distinctive voices [...]
