Look Mexico shows always bring out a nice crowd who sing along to every word... last night was no exception in spite of it being super cold for an outdoor show!

Look Mexico's new record To Bed To Battle on Suburban Home Records debuts on March 23rd but they have a limited number of advance copies with them on tour so those of you making out to a show have an extra incentive. Otherwise, visit suburban home records for their special pre-order.

Only Thieves are a power pop indie rock trio hailing from TLH. Their new record "Heartless Romantics" is due out Spring 2010 and from the sound of the advance EP is going to be worth picking up. Keep an eye out for these guys!

Alexander & The Grapes 2.27.10

Somehow I have managed to miss Alexander & The Grapes repetitively since they have been playing out. My loss because these guys are very talented. I can't wait for their record to be done... in the meantime check them out at grapes.bandcamp.com.

I don't put a lot of faith in my hands
I don't put a lot of hope in my plans
There's too many things I don't understand

Against Me are Florida hometown heroes which explains the sound of the entire State Theatre singing "Don't Lose Touch" - pretty amazing experience. Sadly, the pit was nuts so I only shot a few pics from the floor. One of the few times I have wished there was a press walk so mostly shots from the balcony this time... :(

Tim's songs are honest which makes them heartwrenching at times... always come away from his show wanting to readjust a bit...

Evan Dando of the lemonheads played a solo show on 2.12 at Crowbar in Tampa... I used to be really into the lemonheads in highschool. I remember flying home to Dublin playing their records on repeat on my trusty discman. So while it probably shouldn't have been a surprise that I remembered the words to most of the songs, it kinda was to me. It was awesome how many of my music snob friends were also there singing along. good stuff.

I'm just trying to give myself a reason for being around...

aren't we all?
