"FUCK YEA!"--both the name of the tour, and my general impression of the night.
Though The Death Set were the only band actually hailing from Baltimore, I felt the rest of the groups (excluding one) were honorary Baltimoreans for the night. Monotonix have played here often, ...

Dan Deacon is a showman. If you have ever seen him live, you know he fucking kills it. But what I find remarkable about him, and unique to just a very few other individuals, is his ability to completely control the crowd. Performing on the floor amongst ...

Cut Copy rounded out our drunken, sweaty Saturday evening at Sonar–– finishing up what seemed to be a pretty solid evening with Ponytail and Black Kids (see previous post). After arriving late and catching the last two songs by Black Kids, I must say I was mad at my ...

So, this was an insanely hyped show. Cut Copy touring on the heels of their latest, quite fantastic LP. Black Kids riding the blog-o-sphere hype wave. Ponytail just rocking it the fuck out and keeping it Bmore. But my foot is fucked, so I am only ...

This intrepid writer busted his foot while at this show. Jeff the Taper nearly killed himself by a bludgeoning to the head.
But you know what? Totally worth it. Monday night, Bmore again proved its mettle.
This show was a veritable who's who of Baltimore (and even some DC) regional ...

Do NOT miss this show. This line up is going to explode Sonar from the inside out. This is not hype, this is fact. I have never been to a tame Death Set show.
Enjoy this Bonde do Role remix.

UPDATE 5/6/2008: Blaqstarr did not end up playing this TaxLo, but thanks to Cullen Stalin for the heads up on the rescheduled date this Friday 5/9.
Baltimore based DJ Blaqstarr will be headlining an upcoming TaxLo at Sonar on February 29th. Tickets are only $8. Surely, this will ...
