New York-based curator Craig Inciardi led the group through the exhibit, which takes up the Rock Hall’s top two floors.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Taylor Swift at Quicken Loans Arena

Annie Zaleski — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:28:00 -0400

In the past few years, Taylor Swift’s romantic turmoil has often overshadowed her music. However, at her sold-out concert last night at the Q, all that mattered to the screaming crowd was the 23-year-old’s songs.…

Concert Slideshow: Yngwie Malmsteen at House of Blues

Joe Kleon — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 10:43:00 -0400

Guitar shredder Yngwie Malmsteen kicked off his U.S. tour last night at House of Blues. Mugging for the photographers in the pit at the front of the stage, he posed more than he played and the performance unintentionally came off as parody.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Mindless Self Indulgence at House of Blues

Sam Mendez — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:35:00 -0400

Though 95% of the time they’re careless, Mindless Self Indulgence has carefully tailored itself to be unique and considerably inaccessible. But a packed House of Blues last night would prove that MSI has a strong following regardless - and considering that the crowd was chanting “anal sex” before MSI took the stage, they were definitely on the same frequency as the irreverent band.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Anthrax at House of Blues

Jeff Niesel — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:07:00 -0400

When thrash rockers Anthrax came through town last summer on Mayhem festival, they reportedly insisted that they play the side stage and not the main stage. It was a wise decision.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Fleetwood Mac at Nationwide Arena in Columbus

Jeff Niesel — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:36:00 -0400

There was something old-fashioned about the way Fleetwood Mac casually arrived on stage last night at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, the site of the first date of the band’s 50-date reunion tour. Playing together for the first time in 3 years, band members strolled onto the stage without any major hoopla (though drummer Mick Fleetwood had his arms hoisted high above his head as if he were a referee indicating a touchdown).…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Garbage at House of Blues

Jeff Niesel — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 12:13:00 -0400

While the alt-rock group Garbage didn’t exactly qualify as a supergroup when it formed in the early ’90s, the members did bring some serious musical experience to the table. Prior to joining Garbage, singer Shirley Manson had recorded an album as Angelfish and drummer Butch Vig achieved fame for producing Nirvana’s Nevermind.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Excision at House of Blues

Sam Mendez — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:29:00 -0400

Not settling for entertaining people with just his popular songs and mixing skills, Excision indulged the crowd with his high-powered sound system and his unique live production (his signature stage “X-Vision”). Last night’s sold out show at House of Blues got a great reception and definitely showed a DJ show can be as entertaining as a live band performance.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Scott Weiland at House of Blues

Jeff Niesel — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 06:20:00 -0400

Last month when Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland announced he’d be revisiting the first two STP albums on a solo tour, his STP bandmates issued a statement saying that he had been “terminated” from the band. Weiland, for his part, has maintained that he’s still a member of the band.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Muse and Dead Sara at Quicken Loans Arena

Jeff Niesel — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:36:00 -0500

Muse’s “Uprising,” the single from its 2009 album The Resistance, is one of rock’s greatest anthems, and the band delivered it with plenty of energy last night during a nearly two-hour show at Quicken Loans Arena. Singer-guitarist Matthew Bellamy emphatically thrust his fist into the air as the methodical, almost-tribal drumbeat commenced.…

Concert Review and Slideshow: Owl City at House of Blues

Jeff Niesel — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:12:00 -0500

Mid-way through last night’s concert at House of Blues, Owl City front man Adam Young told the crowd that he felt like “an undeserving guy” because he initially never thought anyone would hear the songs that he wrote in his Owatonna, Minn. basement.…
