Wavves Live

Doing a little catching up.
Saw Wavves/Fucked Up at the Magic Stick in Detroit with my brother.
Had a great time and enjoyed Fucked Up more than I thought I would.
Wavves was great.  Very tight and, dare I say, professional by their standards.
Wavves are a band getting better with with release.  I can hardly wait til the next full length.
The show was full of energy throughout and it finally overflowed as kids(hey, I'm just an old punk) stormed the stage.
I laughed hysterically as Nathan and the boys tried in vain to keep playing before finally giving up and joining the chaotic fun.

Arctic Monkeys killed it

I was starting to write an article when "Suck it and See" came out saying that the Arctic Monkeys were the best active rock band in the world at this time. I would be remiss if I didn't at least put it in print tonight. Their scintillating 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor' carried into the Beatles 'Come Together' was absolutely the highlight of the Olympic opening ceremonies.
I don't sit around hoping for bands I like to get bigger very often. But in the Arctic Monkeys case I honestly believe they should be.
So let's hope tonight is the start of people realizing the genius of Alex Turner and the greatness of the Arctic Monkeys.
