Samtastic! Review: The Fresh & Onlys

Saw this band perform last night at The Earl before King Khan, and I was very into them, they are really great live. I had never heard of them, but they are San Francisco, so that is usually a good sign. Plus, King Khan likes them, so you know...They have this modern yet late 60's early 70's San Francisco vibe to them, if that makes any sense, kind of psychedelic at times, but well done, so you don't zone out completely.

Samtastic! Review: King Khan & The Shrines

I got touched by an Angel last night, meaning King Khan himself...he did not do it on purpose, just as he passed by me in the crowd, twice! Ha ha ha, we can all dream can't we...

Samtastic! Review: Delorean

I saw this band last night and was completely blown away, and this was the opener for Miike Snow!!!! I knew it would be a good show. Apparently these guys have been around for awhile, and are from Spain! They freaking rock check them out!

Samtastic! Review: is feeling Lenny Kravitz today

This is someone I need to go see again, what a great guy. I saw him in...1998! He is really amazing live, and just seems like a great wonderful person. Bacon and Ice Cream = FUNK!

Samtastic! Review: Smokey @ SXSW

A true genius, 50 years in the business, amazing! He's looking good, I saw him...6 years ago(?) in Atlantic City, NJ, and he sounded so fucking good! I mean as good as his recordings from 40 years ago...

Samtastic! Review: Yeasayer video for ONE!

So cool, colorful, different, focused, pretty and funny! This is one of my fave songs off this album, so glad it's the second one they are putting out! I am really into this concept they seem to be carrying on in this video of these hooded figures and morphing faces, it's sort of futuristic and medieval at the same time. So well done!

Samtastic! Review: Solid Gold video for MOT

I like this band Solid Gold (still hate the name), not too sure about the video, it feels like LA or Vegas or something I am not so into, but the song is good...they are still figuring it out I think. I really wish I was going to SXSW, I HAVE to go next year so I can finally be cool...and I just like Texas.
