Portugal. The Man at Grand Theatre at Grand Sierra Resort & Casino | Reno, Nevada | 4/11/2018 (Concert Review + Photos)

April 15, 2018 by Jason DeBord

“It’s always weird on the first night of tour…  I’m well-rested… I’m not hung over…  It doesn’t seem right.  One thing I know is I’ve been to Reno before several times.  We will not be well-rested tomorrow.  We will not be showered.  We will be hung over.  We’re Portugal The Man.  Thanks for hanging out with us tonight.” Zach Carothers, in preface to the encore to their show at Grand Theatre at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino on Wednesday night.  The band put on an electric show that impressed not only with their unique sound but a spectacle of visuals and lasers.  They even had warnings in many forms before the show about the latter… and a pre-set disclaimer about their overall lack of banter.  Coupled with a drumhead featuring Weird Al Yankovic, it was clear from the start that Portugal. The Man is a band that is driven by their own unique beat, and I don’t think that fans would want them any other way. [Read more…]

Midnight Oil at Fox Theater | Oakland, California | 5/27/2017 (Concert Review + Photos)

May 29, 2017 by Jason DeBord

“We gotta remember and identify and know that the only thing we gotta fear with the craziness and the madness and some of the very difficult evil things that have happened, is not to be human, is not to be cooperative, not to be looking out for one another, but to be spreading the good stuff everywhere…”  Midnight Oil’s (“the Oils”) Peter Garrett, in his preface to “Put Down That Weapon”, the band’s second single off of their seminal 1987 album, Diesel and Dust.  Some 30 years later, lyrics from the song and the ideas that they invoke seem as poignant as ever.  The band has been mostly off the scene as Midnight Oil since they dissolved in 2002, so with their 2017 reformation and world tour, they have made an unexpected return to much acclaim and excitement.  I was a huge fan of that 1987 album as it blew up in the U.S. at the time, and I had never had a chance to see them perform live until this show at Fox Theater in Oakland on Saturday night.  It was nothing short of incredible, and will certainly rank as one of my favorite gigs of the year.  They are touring a lot in 2017 and crossing back to cities already visited, so I give my highest recommendation to turn out for one of these events…

Pixies at Ace of Spades | Sacramento, California | 10/26/2016 (Concert Review + Photos)

“I try to think about tomorrow, but I always think about the past… about the things that didn’t last… if I could go to the beginning, then for sure I would be another way… make it better for today…”  Pixies (the “loud quiet loud” band) are a quiet band on stage in-between the generally quick songs, so we are left with the music, and the lyrics within, to try to figure out what is going on with them.  It was less than one month ago that they released their sixth studio album – their second without founding bass player and vocalist Kim Deal – and their first with new full-time member Paz Lenchantin.  The new album serves as fuel for this tour, with just four rare dates in Calif0rnia this month as prelude to many shows across Europe, England, Australia and New Zealand, keeping them busy until early next year.  So it was interesting seeing them and hearing some of their new music performed at Ace of Spades in Sacramento on Wednesday night.  The Pixies in Sacramento.  A rare thing indeed.  One of my all-time favorite bands playing in the city where I was born, and where I first saw the band way back in 1990, about a quarter of a century ago.  A different time.  So much has changed, but so much about the band remains the same.  I’ve taken the new album, Head Carrier, for a spin and those lyrics above stuck with me.  Interestingly, the vocals on that particular song are delivered by Paz, who is no Kim soundalike (on vocals or bass), though obviously the message in those lyrics is for Kim.  So the Pixies in 2016 is older, mature, different… and the band is at once both old and new; looking backwards and forwards.  The album sounds quite different from everything that came before (even 2014’s Indie Cindy).  And I think that the sentiments expressed in that song, “All I Think About Now”, kind of sums up this new iteration of the Pixies.  With this live show, the old and the new were mixed together to create a different sort of Pixies show, giving something fresh to both new and old fans alike.  But there are still those songs that carry on and remain classic to those who were with it at the time, in the band’s short-lived first incarnation in the late 80s and early 90s.  The concert was a tribute to that as well.
