Read moreTove Lo has the amazing ability to express her emotions in such a undisguised manner it makes you envious that it’s hard for you to do the same. That’s why everyone loves her though.
Read moreHer encore included “The Dark,” “Cannonball,” and ended on a high note with “Blue Eyes Blind,” as we all danced around to the song. Ward always puts on such a good show and it’s great to see her progress as she changes as an artist but still keeps her unique way of creating her world.

Read moreThere is no hiding the talent of the band and they are only recently starting to build a following – catch Proofs as they push their way to the top of the local scene.
Read moreOverall, SuperM delivered on every front one hopes for when attending a K-pop concert: the music was skillfully performed, the dancing was superhuman, and the energy from everybody in the venue was through the roof.
Read moreThe night ended with “If You Think It’s Love” and her grungiest tune yet, “Ohio,” where she encouraged everyone to really rock out as it was the last one. The fact that she still played her guitar with a broken pinky finger and no one noticed shows that she really is a King.

It’s not often we catch acts like Ladytron but when we do, we never take it for granted.
Read moreThe teasing banter and interplay between the band members made it clear the group was having as much fun as the audience. It was no surprise that when Koch speculated about doing another show, “Same time, next year,” someone shouted out, “Same time, next month!” It was great to have you back, Venus Envy.
