After a long awaited CD release, fans of The High Court weren’t going to let anything ruin this release show–even the weather. Brittany Sturges took cover.

They haven’t put out an album of new music in 8 years, and you probably haven’t thought of them in as long, but The Rentals are back with not just a new album but with a tour to back it up. Jen Cray caught the show in Orlando.

The final date of The Postmarks’ brief and enchanting summer tour as seen by Margarita Gonzalez.

The first ever Volcom Tour brought co-headliners Riverboat Gamblers and Valient Thorr to Orlando, along with label mates Totimoshi and ASG. This was exactly the kind of show Jen Cray had been waiting for.

Noone thought that Ben Kweller had enough fans in Orlando to sell out The Social, but sell it out he did. It was a good thing Jen Cray got there early to catch the action.

The blues-soaked, funk-sprinkled, new progressive sounds of Alaska’s Portugal The Man made an evening of mediocre bands worth it for Jen Cray.

Silverchair is back and with a vengeance. Brittany Sturges was there to savor every moment of their performance.

It’s 300 degrees in the shade, the Orlando streets are teeming with teenagers, and Jen Cray was about to throw down $6 for a Bud Light. This can only mean one thing: it’s time for another Warped Tour.

For his first show in Central Florida in 15 years, Morrissey proved that not since Elvis has a musician been capable of inciting a near riot by a twist of his lip and the tossing of his shirt. Jen Cray was happily amongst the swooning masses.

In a celebration of all things shiny and happy, Erasure brought their circus of glitter to Orlando’s Hard Rock Live, and Jen Cray was there for the party.

Not rain, nor the humid Florida summer night air could keep Jen Cray away from checking out former D Generation vocalist Jesse Malin’s show as part of the Death & Taxes tour.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have yet to push the bounds of their bluesy garage rock to the highs that they seem capable of, but this didn’t stop Jen Cray from drinking herself into a stupor and enjoying the dirty rock.

Stars of Track & Field may have been merely the opening band, but for Jen Cray the night belonged to the Portland trio.

Tool is well known for being one of the most innovative, abstract metal bands of the last 20 years. What many people don’t realize is how protective the band is of every aspect of their career, including their image. After being told again and again that she would never get approved, Jen Cray was shocked to be allowed inside the band’s Orlando show with her camera.

Dimmu Borgir may have been the draw that brought in the crowd, but the night was stolen by openers Kataklysm and Unearth, according to Jen Cray.

Totimoshi may have been playing to a crowd that could have fit into Jen Cray’s living room, but that did nothing to dim their spirits or the quality of their performance.

When the worlds of metal, punk, indie and rock collide, a boldly-billed package tour is born. Cursive and These Arms Are Snakes joined co-headliners Mastodon and Against Me! on one of the most diversified travelling circuses Jen Cray is bound to see this year.

A large percentage of America may not know it yet, but the Arctic Monkeys have already conquered their native England and are setting their sights on our shores. Jen Cray was not surprised that the band’s Orlando date was a complete sell out.

It’s another night of horrifically catchy emocentric pop music with Say Anything and Saves The Day. Jen Cray tries to reconcile her mistrust of all things emo with the undeniably catchy hooks of these popular bands.

Listening to some middle-aged man talk about how f*cked up the world is isn’t exactly Jen Cray’s idea of a fun night out … unless the man in question is ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist/lyricist Jello Biafra.
