Foo Fighters/Weezer: Live Review By: Andrew Olson
The old saying, two heads are better than one was the underlying picture that the Foo Fighters/Weezer concert last Sunday  epitomized.  Even though neither band have ever been a "top-rated" group nationally, combining powers changed that image.  The packed Excel Energy Center in St. Paul was alive with energy, and it also showed that record sales don't always show the true popularity of a band.  MORE

The White Stripes Live in Concert

Paul Olsen (Pictured here playing drums with Eric Claption) has been a fixture in art for many years.  From the T2 logo and psychedelic posters to the effects in the Star Trek movies and album covers.  A conversation with a great artist about growing up on the Haight in S.F., leaving for England in 1968 and much much more!   

 
HIPPIES:
Avalon Ballroom San Francisco, CA.: Where Janis Joplin was queen..

A HEAD:

HAIR:  Brilliant, tribal, and still provocative.  One of the greatest plays still has the energy and high it was written with 35 years ago! At the Pantages theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota a time machine stopped on Friday night.  Not like the Back To The Future DeLorean, but more of an incense, and peppermint VW Van.

WHITE IRON BAND
ARTICLE MADE THE COVER

Trampled By Turtles opened for the White Iron Band’s CD release party (Tap Room, Feb. 11^th ) and drew out more Flappin-Jack hippies than any band in town. The band created some great electric buzz-saw fiddlin’ music to the amusement of the high-twirling patchwork crowd. White Iron Band then headlined the show and got that same group and their own swinging and swilling. Eventually the mass bubbled out of the bar and into the parking lot, to tailgate between shows.
