Blur – with Dandy Warhols at the Orpheum – Review

November 1, 1997

After over an hour of this wank, I saw me moment at last. They got t’ that fuckin’ “Woo-hoo!” song, the one they couldn’ even come up wi’ a proper title for.

That shite don’t mix well wi’ drone-pop, y’know what I mean? That’s another o’ those terms I learnt. Just them two is all.

Cake – at the Orpheum – Review

December 1, 1996

Cake hop from the rockabilly stylings of “Stickshifts and Safetybelts” to the more driving rhythms/almost hip hop stylings of their hit, “The Distance.”

Patti Smith – with Bob Dylan at the Orpheum – Review

February 1, 1996

Smith sang all the songs I wanted to hear including a ballad written for/to her husband and bandmate, Fred “Sonic” Smith, who died earlier this year.

Dylan is not a great performer. May I be struck with hundreds of voodoo pins, but Dylan has not progressed. He can write a good lyric, but that’s about it.

Spiritualized – with Siouxie and the Banshees at the Orpheum – Review

May 1, 1995

Spiritualized blasted into what they do best; erecting droning, repetitive, psychedelic sonic tapestries that are nothing short of transcendental.

Siouxsie and the Banshees – with Spiritualized at the Orpheum – Review

May 1, 1995

She still plays her ice queen geisha girl role expertly, and her stage mannerisms were captivating, except when they spilled over the side of ludicrousness.

Bob Dylan – at the Orpheum – Review

November 1, 1994

The renditions of his most popular songs were far different from the recorded originals, yet arguably just as good.
