Dropkick Murphys Bring Out Andy Bookwalter’s Secret Skinhead
Music

This dude likes to scream.Dropkick Murphys at Showbox Sodo
February 28, 2008


Dropkick Murphys are the greatest band in the world, and I’ll stab anyone who says otherwise.

Lumped in with plenty of great-but-inferior street punk bands like The Swingin’ Utters, Flogging Molly and The Bouncing Souls, DKM remind me what punk rock meant before my life crushed my delicate spirit.

I was a small town teenage slacker in the early 80’s, and punk promised me a community and an escape from suburban mediocrity. Punk then broke that promise, as will any subculture based on teen angst and beer.

After a few years of watching one dive punk bar after another become condos and parking lots, I got bitter. Then one day I heard “Cadence To Arms,” the opening shot from DKM’s Do or Die and it all came back to me.

Head No.1: A Seattle-based website featuring writing about music -- interviews, live reviews, album reviews, previews, occasional rants. Sorta like a little place you already know and love.

South by Southwest Diary: Day 3 - Ecstatically Peaceful

sxsw_dan_winnerSXSW - Day 3 Recap
Friday, March 14


It's Friday morning and the bloody marys are flowing like mountain spring water at the Red Eyed Fly. We show up as the club doors open and start chugging the vegetable-fortified beverages, a plastic cup in each free hand. Eight essential vitamins plus vodka, what more could you ask for?

The Magic Bullets, hailing from San Francisco, take the stage. There's nothing new about their sound, but the gangly lead singer (whose wingspan might rival Kevin Garnett's) does a nice job of captivating the crowd by swaying back and forth like an alder tree in a windstorm.

cspaniels1_thumbSXSW – Day 2 Recap
Thursday, March 13


Today begins with breakfast tacos at Mi Madres. (Don’t worry, it’s a restaurant – I’m not going to spend the entire festival hanging out with my parents.)

Friends from the Pacific Northwest have swooped into town and we spend our morning pouring over an 85-page Excel spreadsheet prepared by my pal Jessica. It’s color-coded to indicate free shows, free food, free alcohol, and performer importance. This document would cost well over $100 to print at Kinkos.

We map out a loose itinerary for the day, then mount borrowed bicycles, and like a Super Special Olympics racing team, rumble awkwardly down the road towards 6th street. My bike, a baby blue Free Spirit, has a flat tire; only I don’t know it, yet.

lou_reed2SXSW – Day 1 Recap
Wednesday, March 12


You know you are headed for South by Southwest when someone boards the plane with a mandolin case and a megaphone.

Look to the overhead compartments and you’ll find so many instruments, you’d think they decided to build a Guitar Center with wings. I’m half expecting to find an aspiring shredder coiled up in the bathroom playing Stairway to Heaven through a Peavey practice amp.

My friends, we are on our way to SXSW!

Alive & Kicking: Editors, Hot Hot Heat & Louis the XIV @ The Showbox

February 10, 2008 @ Neumos

Editors came to town in early February and packed the Showbox at the Market tight.

Upon arrival, we made a bee-line through the all-ages pit to the back of the room to get a good view with the rest of the old fogies. The wifey enjoyed Hot Hot Heat frontman Paul Bayer’s enthusiastic bouncing around and keyboard antics, but I found them a little bland.

Lake of Falcons: Loud, Local Indie Rockers to Battle at The Great Valentine's Day Massacre
Nada Mucho Presents
By Graham Isaac   
Tuesday, 12 February 2008

lakeoffalcons_thumb The first time I saw Lake of Falcons was last year at the Jules Mae Saloon. It was part of an aborted attempt to see Police Teeth after a long day of other obligations.

Sadly, I and my party were thwarted by south Seattle’s intricate roadwork, which seems specifically designed to put you back on the freeway with no end in sight for six more miles. Either that, or I'm just not that observant and it'd been a long time since I'd been south of the U-District. Either way…

Happily for that evening, the other two bands were also good and redeemed any frustrations with the city's infrastructure. There was the much vaunted Feral Children (whom I'm sure you can read about in any given issue of The Stranger from the last eight months) and an evening-closing performance by Lake of Falcons.
