Photos + Review: Incubus, Manchester Orchestra, Paris Jackson @ Budweiser Stage
Last night (June 30th) at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Incubus showcased their classic 2001 album Morning View, who performed the platinum and gold selling album in its entirety along with some of their hits. Paris Jackson captivated the crowd after a rain delay with her soulful voice and heartfelt presence, effortlessly blending her artistic authenticity with a touch of rock star charisma.
More Outlandia thoughts; discovering (or not discovering) new music... - Lazy-i
More Outlandia thoughts; discovering (or not discovering) new music… by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com Some meandering thoughts about Outlandia… I just wrapped up a column for the April issue of The Reader wherein I tried to “translate” the festival’s bands into RIYL bands that someone in their 50s who has become disconnected to music might recognize. It was not easy.
Manchester Orchestra on Life, Death, and the Afterlife by Kyle Meredith With...
Manchester Orchestra masterminds Andy Hull and Robert McDowell sit down with Kyle Meredith to unpack their new album, The Million Masks of God. Together, they discuss how its themes of life, death and the afterlife were inspired by the passing of McDowell's father and why the record plays like a seamless, rock opera.
Hypnotik helps you process the day
click to enlarge Jessica Kuhn I sat down to try Hypnotik — a strain I purchased from The Green Solution in Pueblo — after a super long workday that was full of what seemed like endless technology woes. My brain hurt, and I was in desperate need of some relief. Without a doubt, an Indica was the right call. I had picked up an ounce in prepackaged eighths a couple weeks ago, using some of my collected reward points, which made the out-the-door recreational price less than $80.
This week’s concerts: Chris Brown, 3 Doors Down, Erasure and more
Chris Brown is in town Friday, so it’s time to start guessing what sort of trouble he’ll get into. A scuffle with a photographer? It’s happened at least twice in Tampa Bay alone, including last April at a club near Amalie Arena. Or maybe it’ll be some other controversy involving his violent history. Just last month he was hit with another restraining order — at least his third, if you’re keeping track — by a woman who said he stalked and struck her.
Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner talks Runaway Train,’ covering Beyonce, the Minnesota music scene and more
Soul Asylum's Runaway Train was the 1-800-273-8255 of its time. Like Logic's 2017 suicide prevention anthem, Runaway Train was a rare major hit that had a real-world, life-saving impact, thanks to a video featuring photos of actual missing teen runaways. Nice legacy, right? When I point this out to Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner, however, it sounds like the connection had never crossed his mind.
Review: Whitney’ documentary an unflinching look at Whitney Houston’s long downfall
There today is no singer like a young Whitney Houston. Beyoncé, Adele, Lady Gaga — maybe on their best days, they come close to matching the voice, the radiance, the potential of early Whitney. But not every day. Those highest highs, and the vast gap down to her lowest lows, are a big part of what make Whitney, the unflinching new documentary about her life by Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September), so compelling.
Lynyrd Skynyrd hits the big screen in ‘If I Leave Here Tomorrow’
Imagine premiering a film about Lynyrd Skynyrd in their hometown of Jacksonville. Imagine all the hoopla and plus-ones you’d have to wrangle for the first screening of a new documentary about Florida’s favorite surviving Southern Rock sons. "All the family and friends, all the relatives, everyone involved with the band — a lot of them still live down there," said Stephen Kijak, director of the new documentary If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Erasure's Andy Bell opens up about finding love in laid-back Tampa
Andy Bell didn’t come to Tampa expecting to find love. The Erasure singer had just emerged from a two-decade relationship with his partner and manager, Paul Hickey, with whom he was still close. Both were HIV-positive — Hickey was diagnosed in 1990, Bell in 1998. Then, in the summer of 2010, Bell booked a gig at the Honey Pot, an Ybor City gay club owned by Stephen Moss. "I had just done Dallas Pride, and then flew to Tampa on my own," Bell said by phone recently.
This week’s best concerts: Thirty Seconds to Mars, Culture Club, Donny and Marie, more
All due respect to Heath Ledger, but Jared Leto might actually be the perfect Joker, since everything he does asks the question: Why so serious? So much of the Oscar-winning actor’s output screams HEART with a capital ART scrawled in blood across his chest, particularly as it relates to Thirty Seconds to Mars. Their new album America is another collection of shadowy rock atmospherics and unrepentant chest-beating anthems.
Boy George talks fame, the term LGBTQ,’ being an ’80s pop torchbearer and more
It'll still be June when Boy George arrives in Florida this week to kick off a summer U.S. tour with Culture Club. But the LGBTQ icon says it won't feel quite like a Pride parade. "I also bake cakes for straight people," he laughed. "That's going to be my mantra for this tour: 'I hope to bake cakes for straight people.
