It was the first stop on their "Doolittle Tour." Doolittle is the second album from the Pixies, released back in 1989.      It was my inaugural live Pixies experience. I have to admit, prior to the concert my [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/pixies-hollywood-palladium-11609/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/yo-la-tengo-the-avalon-101509/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/yo-la-tengo-the-avalon-101509/#comments Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:17:34 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=511      Yo La Tengo breezed through Hollywood at the Avalon for their fall tour on October 15th. The veteran Hoboken, New Jersey based trio put on a solid show fresh on the heels of their most recent release, “Popular Songs.” YLT features a broad array of sounds, from spacey jams to raw screeching garage [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/yo-la-tengo-the-avalon-101509/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/jay-reatard-the-echo-61209/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/jay-reatard-the-echo-61209/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:48:18 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=480      A peculiar band with a peculiar (ah-hem) name, Jay Reatard, passed through the Echo last Friday and Saturday nights. The trio of rockers brought their sound from Memphis, Tennessee, and had me wigglin’ with nods of approval in the packed venue. The show (Saturday night) almost felt oversold, which I find common at [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/jay-reatard-the-echo-61209/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/king-khan-and-the-shrines-the-echo-53009/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/king-khan-and-the-shrines-the-echo-53009/#comments Mon, 01 Jun 2009 06:37:55 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=449      King Khan sprinkled his musical offerings over Silver Lake at the Echo last night. It was high energy and highly entertaining. Pants were dropped; screams were screamed. The set list was chock full of songs off of the "What Is!" album, one of the best I’ve heard all year. King Khan [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/king-khan-and-the-shrines-the-echo-53009/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/the-dead-the-forum-5909/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/the-dead-the-forum-5909/#comments Tue, 12 May 2009 04:26:41 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=432      It has been almost 15 years since I last saw The Grateful Dead. That was a Saturday night at the Boston Garden, just before they tore that old building down. This past Saturday night I witnessed the reincarnation of that band, now known as The Dead, at the Forum in Inglewood, CA.      Bob Weir, [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/the-dead-the-forum-5909/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/silversun-pickups-the-echoplex-43009/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/silversun-pickups-the-echoplex-43009/#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 23:29:51 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=367      The Angeleno quartet Silversun Pickups straight up rocked the Echoplex last night. They headlined a fund raising event for the Pablove Foundation, which fights childhood cancer in honor of Pablo Castelaz. It was a first for me seeing SP live. They seem to rarely play in LA, strangely enough.      Eulogies started the evening [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/silversun-pickups-the-echoplex-43009/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/budos-band-the-echo-41609/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/budos-band-the-echo-41609/#comments Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:35:14 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=342      The Budos Band finally made their way to southern California last week (for the first time that I’m aware of). This afro-funky Staten Island-based group have been on my radar for a few years now, since I heard their self-titled debut album. The Budos Band creates a unique sound with signature horns, guitars, [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/budos-band-the-echo-41609/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/bruce-springsteen-los-angeles-sports-arena-41509/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/bruce-springsteen-los-angeles-sports-arena-41509/#comments Sun, 19 Apr 2009 05:48:27 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=411      Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played two nights at the Los Angeles Sports Arena this week. I went Wednesday. The show came across less political and preachy than his last time through the Sports Arena. The focus was on fun. At one point Bruce perused the crowd for signs [...]]]> http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/bruce-springsteen-los-angeles-sports-arena-41509/feed/ 0 http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/ratatat-hollywood-palladium-4409/ http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/index.php/ratatat-hollywood-palladium-4409/#comments Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:42:16 +0000 Justinline http://www.justinline.com/wordpress/?p=252      The newly renovated Hollywood Palladium hosted Brooklyn-based electrock duo Ratatat last night. It was the first time they played Los Angeles since September. This time around they were minus keyboard/synth-man Jacob Morris (of prolific fro and crisp dance moves). Could it be that his stage presence meant more than his musical presence?

I had never seen or heard of any of these bands before, which is sometimes the best way to experience a live band . . . pure, with no expectations.
