Chromeo Photo Gallery/Show Review @ House of Blues, San Diego, CA

24 August 2010

I once was legally forced to write an apology letter to my feet for the continued pain I put them through at a Chromeo show. This is true. Look it up under Toes Vs. TH.

Not that that has anything to do with their music, there was just so much hype, and while their live show was good - especially for a first performance,

Holy Ghost! – it’s a show review

13 August 2010

Making their way from the smaller intimate settings of the U Street Music Hall, to one of the more attended, less intimate settings of the 9:30 Club within a matter of a few weeks, Holy Ghost! are gaining speed in reaching new audiences. Opening up the show for Chromeo this time around, Holy Ghost! once again proved they are able to get a crowd moving.

Loose Lips Sink Ships/Victor Villarreal — “Eating Happens”

13 August 2010

“Eating Happens” is a solid, if brief, showcase of the potential put forth by these two artists – one still getting its proverbial feet wet in the music biz, the other still finding his way back to it.

I guess Stereogum already posted their show review for this one. Too bad their site looks like Best Buy's new indie website? Maybe they own Stereogum now?
