Review: The Swell Season & Rachael Yamagata at Mesa Arts Center
If only more shows could be like this.
I was fortunate to catch the Swell Season at the Mesa Arts Center last night, with opener Rachael Yamagata (thanks to my sister for the early birthday present).

Fall Frenzy Day 3 Review
Getting up on Sunday morning there was a distinct relief that I was not at Saturday’s Fall Frenzy event. Oh no, not that I wanted to miss the hoopla and pageantry of a Blink 182 reunion show but rather the wear and tear. Thanks to a sober Saturday at an ASU sanction tailgating party and [...]
Fall Frenzy Day Two Review
Music festival unwritten norm tends to say ‘If thou art a suck band, thou shalt go first,’ but that was certainly not the case on Saturday.
As Fall Out Boy left the stage the crowd went absolutely nuts knowing that the following would be the headlining act, Blink 182.
If Not Listening You’ll Miss It…
