Show Review: Sin City Sinners – Club Madrid, Las Vegas, NV, 5/27/11

Monday, July 18th, 2011

If it’s a Friday night and you have been walking around the Strip in Las Vegas all day, there is a place that is both cool and hot for your nighttime escapades. You have to drive a little bit, away from theneon lights, and head towards a blossoming mini-Vegas called Henderson. It has casinos and clubs and bings and whistles, but it’s not as overwhelmingly cheesy like the big boy city that spawned it. Nestled away inside the Santa Fe Resort there is a fun little adventure venue called Club Madrid. And Read more…

Keith Urban and his music mature, which should give added depth to Thursday’s show at The Q

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Cleveland, Ohio — It’s really hard to dislike Keith Urban, not that anyone would want to.

After all, he’s good-looking, with long blond hair and twinkling blue eyes, and speaks in that sweet Aussie accent women adore and men try to emulate. Crikey! What a guy!

Except in 18 years or so of interviews with Urban, we’ve never actually heard the artist who’s at The Q on Thursday night, utter the word “crikey.” Or “g’day.” Or even talk about puttin’ another shrimp on the barbie.

Shoot, maybe this whole thing is a ruse, and Urban is from, oh, Boston.

Pitchfork Music Festival 2011: Day 3 in review

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

1:14 p.m. The Fresh & Onlys must own a great collection of old seven-inch singles. The San Francisco quartet channels the vintage psychedelic-kissed garage rock of its hometown, circa 1968, in a manner that conjures Love and introduces a slightly heavier bent. Dressed in a Grateful Dead tie-dye and fisherman’s cap, front man Tim Cohen sings amid reverb-soaked backdrops that make his wanderlust voice seem as if it emanates through a narrow tunnel. Country accents and surf delay spin the guitar lines, which curl underneath wordless harmonies and tamed feedback.

Country singer Toby Keith keeps the hits and the liquor flowing at Blossom Music Center

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

No doubt about it: Toby Keith loves the United States. First things first, though.

When an impassioned USA! USA! USA! chant arose from the crowd in the middle of the country singers concert Friday night at Blossom Music Center, he quickly set his patriotic fans straight.

Were doing drinking songs right now, said Keith, 50. Im sorry!

With that, he launched into I Love This Bar, a neon-lit 2003 chart-topper that spawned a chain of Toby Keiths I This Bar & Grill establishments.

Ever the canny self-promoter, Keith couldnt pass up an opportunity to plug his new Wild Shot brand of mezcal while indulging two of his favorite passions: America and alcohol.

He toasted firefighters and took a swig.
