Since I'm still just getting my toes wet in music, I was urged by my guitarist to check out another local band named Tripwire. From what I understand, these guys are the Baltimore band when it comes to doing cover gigs. Signed by Starleigh Entertainment, one of Baltimore's largest booking agencies, Tripwire does their fair share of gigs each month and has the tenure to back it up.
Being the social kind of guy, I naturally strolled into the place with my usual entourage – just kidding, I brought my girl and a buddy of mine decided to

rioLinda @ Sidebar Tavern,Baltimore, MD 2011.09.16
On a cool Friday night, I was invited out to a rock show at one of the more dive-iest bars I've ever been to – The Sidebar Tavern on Lexington St. in Baltimore plays host to some awesome local acts. On this night, a friend of a friend's band was playing, so I decided to come out. The band in question is a simple two-piece outfit called rioLinda. They were there among a few other acts, such as the Mercies and Neutron Bomb (who I unfortunately didn't get to see – I had to give
MIXFest 2011
MIX 104.1’s annual MIXFest concert returned to Boston this past Saturday September, 17th. Every year, the MIXFest is a great concert, but do you know what made this MIXFest better that all that one before it? It was a free MIXFest Concert! That's right, this year's MIXFest, for the first time ever, was open for all to enjoy. Although VIP passes could be won through the station, nobody had to try to call in to win free tickets, because there was no charge for general admission.
The festivities were held at the DCR Memorial Hatch Shell on the Charles River

4 Footer @ Holiday House in Baltimore, MD 2011.08.20
Who likes a Baltimore rock band called 4 Footer? You do, you savvy son-of-a-gun! You like 'em so much, you're going off to Google RIGHT NOW to search for their Facebook and MySpace pages so you can get the skinny on these guys. That's okay – I'll wait. All done? Brilliant. Let's get it started, then, shall we?
I really enjoy hole-in-the-wall bars like Holiday House. I enjoy the skeezy atmosphere, the dubious clientele and the even more dubious staff that work in these kinds of joints. My favorite thing about these places, however, is that I

Candlebox, The Armory Ballroom, Manchester, 8/7/11
This show brings an end to my "Summer of 90s" shows. You could say it started with Weezer, Soundgarden twice, Stone Temple Pilots and another bastion of alternative rock: Candlebox. This was my second time seeing the boys play, and my third seeing Kevin Martin. The show itself was fun -- but we were duped before it all started.
When given the chance to see a "festival"-style show in a hotel on a Sunday night, my normal reaction would be no, but, with some convincing I said yes. The whole deal started around 2:30
