Stone Temple Pilots
Live Review: Stone Temple Pilots - Club Nokia, Los Angeles
Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:21:55
New Year's Eve is often anti-climactic. However, 2009 began with a "Big Bang Baby" for everyone at L.A. Live's Club Nokia. Stone Temple Pilots rang in the New Year with an explosive two-hour set comprised of classics. In many ways, it was the perfect rock show. The past year marked Stone Temple Pilots' reunion and return to the road. Last night ...more

Santa came early this year for rock fans attending Camp Freddy's fourth and final residency show at The Roxy. He brought some very special presents too. After a month of unforgettable rock n' roll shows, Camp Freddy did what they do best—surprise the hell out of everybody. Not only was Camp Freddy's final Roxy show the most star-studded of ...more

Lil Wayne
Live Review: Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Keyshia Cole - Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles
Mon, 22 Dec 2008 11:37:42
Who is hip hop's king of the hill? Is it the man with the hottest hooks or the man with the most raucous raps? Is it T-Pain or Lil Wayne? Both names are so ubiquitous in pop and rap right now that a tour together was a no-brainer. In fact, the I Am Music tour might as well be Tyson/Holyfield for Facebook nation, since there's just as much fanfare ...more

Live Review: Staind & Papa Roach – San Manuel Casino, Highland
Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:38:04
The San Manuel Casino's club looks like The Shining's Overlook Hotel ballroom. It's large, airy and ominous with classically tacky decor. However, last night, instead of Jack Nicholson and Stanley Kubrick's psychotic head trip, visitors to the San Manuel ballroom received a blitz of kinetic hard rock from Staind and Papa Roach. Both bands took the ...more

Live Review: KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas (Stone Temple Pilots, AFI, Staind)
Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:30:52
At night one of KROQ's "Almost Acoustic Christmas," there were all kinds of rock n' roll bands under the tree. Some of them—The Offspring and Rise Against—tightly wrapped anger in quick punk presents, while others (w)rapped and rocked about decay and destruction, like Hollywood Undead. Meanwhile, Slightly Stoopid played warm reggae ...more

Live Review: Camp Freddy - The Roxy, West Hollywood
Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:10:24
"Are you ready for a fucking mega rock show tonight?" Donovan Leitch asked the sold out crowd at the Roxy, on night two of Camp Freddy's December residency. The audience roared, and they were more than primed for a "mega rock show" courtesy of Camp Freddy—the Special Forces of cover bands. However, the evening's "V.I.P." guests were just as ready ...more

Fall Out Boy
Live Review: Fall Out Boy - The Troubadour, West Hollywood
Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:58:20
At the Troubadour, Fall Out Boy took over Hollywood without going "Hollywood." During last night's rare and intimate club show, there was no velvet rope, myriad of celebrities or TMZ cameras. All of the typical trappings that a band of their stature would require from L.A. had been thrown out the window. It was pure punk rock. In fact, Fall Out Boy ...more

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:07:11
Wu-Tang fans were treated to a near full-squad showing from the legendary hip hop collective Thursday night on the Sunset Strip. Every active member, minus southpaw Mr. Meth (move it on your left), was in attendance. A rare feat indeed. After all, packing up that many fresh wallabees and coordinating travel for a Ringling Brother size entourage ...more

With over 40 years of on-the-job experience, classic rock luminaries The Who know their way around the stage. The wily veterans of the tour circuit recently brought their show-rocking wisdom to Los Angeles's Staples Center, bestowing the venue with two of their ten stateside appearances on their 2008-2009 tour.
