The Pelican’s Perch

I don’t know if I’ll make it out to this one tonight, but it does sound intriguing.  Under Byen (pronounced Oh’nah-Boon) has been described by Rolling Stone as “possibly the best band in the world”.  Rolling Stone’s lost a lot of credibility in my mind over the year, so I don’t exactly trust their best band [...]

If anything, tonight will be the happiest music of the bunch.  Most of the bands are pure, acoustic driven pop, with Page France being the highlight for me.  Tomorrow’s the last day of the festival, so all of you waiting for me to stop talking about it will finally get your wish Thursday.  I’ll do [...]

A few weeks ago, Randy Bacon had Dosh stop by and perform much to my delight.  I talked to Martin Dosh before the show, asking him what exactly his set up was and he couldn’t exactly respond with a definative answer.  It was clear I didn’t have much knowledge about loop pedals in the first place, [...]
