Attended the first annual Cruefest yesterday - the Motley Crue headed tour that also features Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx AM (Nikki Sixx’s side project) & Trapt. First off, this is the first time I’ve been to Riverbend in over 10 years & I really hate the layout now. Who in their right mind puts EIGHT [...]

Wing Zing 2008

Leave a Comment
Budweiser’s Wing Zing is becoming somewhat of a tradition here in ole’ C-bus, as for many people like myself it incorporates three really awesome things together in one event; beer, wings & rock n’ roll! So Saturday, this is the kind of mayhem the wife and I decided to get into (that’s her pictured with [...]

Arlo Guthrie
Category: Concerts | Leave a Comment
Attended an Arlo Guthrie concert on Sunday night - my kids won free tickets at Comfest earlier this Summer. Not going to do a full-on review as it’s not the type of music I typically write about here, but if you ever get the chance to see him live, I recommend it. You gotta appreciate your [...]

US Army sponsored triple bill of 80’s metal started off with Naked Beggars, who are notable for being a side project of Cinderella Bassist Eric Brittingham & his wife Inga. It was kinda average rock n’ roll with a southern tint, but I didn’t much care for their interpretation of Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On’. Judging by crowd reaction (which [...]

Dublin Irish Festival - 2008

After 11 years in Columbus, you would think I’d have attended the Dublin Irish Festival before now, wouldn’t you? But no, this was my first year - but it certainly won’t be my last! The festival (one of the largest in the country) is a sprawling 3 day affair situated in Coffman Park in the [...]

Just read on KNAC.com that Motorhead has announced a headlining tour, with The Misfits, Valient Thorr, Airbourne and Year Long Disaster. Wow, that’s a lot of opening acts. So now I’m wondering if we get ALL of them when they come to Columbus (September 14), or just one or two. Time will tell I guess.
Personally, [...]

Rock N’ Resort 2008

I have returned from the humid wilds of Canal Fulton, Ohio - a little sunburned, sweaty, dirty, tired & guzzling quarts of water. But it was worth it, as this year’s show was even more fun than the last. The wife and I made lots of new friends such as the strangely familiar guy in this [...]

Red, White & Blue Oyster Cult
Category: Concerts | 2 Comments
In Columbus, we have one of the largest fireworks displays in the entire midwest called appropriately enough ‘Red, White & Boom’. This year, local radio station QFM96 hosted a ‘Red, White & Blue Oyster Cult’ show on the night of ‘Boom (7/3/08) that my entire family attended. Sounded like a great combination - RWB & [...]

The Columbus Community Festival (affectionately know as Comfest) is in the history books now, but I think it was one of the better festivals I’ve been to in a long time. Many here locally in Columbus complained about the band selections, the rain etc. etc. but I was happy as a pig in poop. Hey, they [...]
