Sublime with Rome @ Metropolis – 08.22.10
08.28.10“Early in the morning risin’ to the street, Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet, Got to find a reason a reason things went wrong, Got to find a reason why my money’s all gone”… Whether it be about lean bank accounts, love for the stage or homage to a talented old friend, the Long Beach punk rock dubsters have returned with a triumphant stride in their step!

MGMT @ Metropolis – 08.04.10
08.10.10With the Electric Feel of Brooklyn born synthpop sweeping Montreal’s Metropolis, the irreverent dance friendly duo they call MGMT filled the night with ass shaking exuberance and toothy glares. Just the other day I was thinking, “I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life. Let’s make some music, make some money, find some models for wives”… Then Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden solidified my thoughts with a flashtastic live effort born of psychedelic images splashed across a stare sparking backdrop and soul tickling colors issuing manic highs to a sold out hazy crowd.
