Photo credit: Greg Szeto [audio:08-The Great Escape.mp3] MP3: We Are Scientists - The Great Escape This is going to be brief as I have a lot on my plate and in my mind. I don't think it's possible for We Are Scientists to not have, and as a corollary not be, fun in performance.  ...

Photos: MySpace Secret Shows Presents The Kills @ the Ottobar

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

The Tokyo Police Club was the last Myspace secret show I attended. That was back in April, and at the old Davis Street location of the Talking Head Club. This time around the Myspace street team kept a much lower profile, and the logos were minimal at the ...

Photos: Glasvegas, Thrushes, Bad Liquor Pond @ Ottobar

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Debate night or Tegan and Sara sapped much of the pull from this show, which should have been substantial.  The night featured a killer set from local mainstays Bad Liquor Pond (captured here by the Baltimore Taper), a spectacular set from Baltimore lush-rockers Thrushes (probably top of their game, which ...
