[Black Eyed Peas]   Venue: East Village
BEP are boring. They sing over their records, they prance repetitively on stage, and annoy the alcohol out of me. By this time, it being the eight hour, my feet were in excruciating pain and I had run out of money, making my patience thin and need for... Full Review

Cake's performance can be summed up in one word: disturbing. Don't get me wrong, I was thoroughly entertained, they sounded excellent, and attracted the largest crowd of the night. But my god -- they are quite frightening to those who have never... Full Review

[Conor and the Mystic Valley Band Feat. Jenny Lewis]   Venue: East Village
Conor Oberst is downright dirty. Nasty chord progression muddied with countrified vocals and folksy rhythm make you want to scrunch up your face and get down right along with them. I was in the middle of this face-wrinkling reaction when I realized I... Full Review

These guys definitely set the tone for the rest of the night. It was dark by the time Mastodon came on stage, and boy, did they make it darker. Discord isn't really my thing, and I believe 50 percent of the crowd would agree with me. Mastodon is one... Full Review

I don't have many nice things to say about this artist, so I'll do my best to keep it short. Marina was on stage with a guitar and she sang some songs. Some songs were fast, some slow, all were boring. I ended up wandering to the neighboring stage... Full Review

I had to check out this classic band. It makes me feel old to categorize them as classic - but it was fun to hear all those punk songs from the 80's. They still sound good and can rock it out. They may not all look quite so good still, but I guess... Full Review
