Sparta

Event Reviews

When At The Drive In split up, half of the band went on to critical success in The Mars Volta. The other half quietly slipped into a band just as worthy of praise, Sparta. Jen Cray stepped in to pay the band some respect.

Talking with Sienna DeGovia , vocalist/bassist for The Randies , is like chatting with a friend, as Jen Cray found out recently.

Tapes ‘n’ Tapes

Event Reviews

From The Casualties show down the block, Jen Cray rushed over to the much more relaxed atmosphere of the Tapes ‘n’ Tapes show, and finally found a band doing Indie Rock justice.

Frank Black

Event Reviews

Touring in support of his latest album – a double CD no less – Frank Black takes the stage at the House of Blues in Orlando for a spooky Friday-the-13th set. Ian Koss , for one, is glad for the lack of Pixies covers.

The Raconteurs

Event Reviews

Jack White silenced the death rattle of rock music with The White Stripes and has gone on to ensure the future of modern music with The Raconteurs. Was there ever any doubt that Jen Cray would be at their Orlando show?!

The Whigs

Event Reviews

The Whigs have no affilliation with Greg Dulli’s Afghan Whigs, but Jen Cray found their 90’s Indie Rock nostalgia irresistible anyway.
