Moon Taxi @ The Troubadour

I wanted to go to a show on Wednesday night and bought tickets on a whim to see these guys with no prior knowledge of their music. I figured that I’d never seen a bad show at the Troubadour, and tickets were only $15, so why not.

This show was hands down the best surprise of the year. Moon Taxi was incredibly fun to watch and the lead singer has an amazing voice. They’re an incredibly talented group of guys, as evidenced by their individual drum, guitar, and keyboard solos. I highly recommend seeing them if you ever get a chance.

After watching their show I looked them up on Spotify and I have to admit their albums fall short for me. Their live performance is SO MUCH BETTER.

Thunderbitch – My Baby Is My Guitar

Do you ever come across new music or artists that you just can’t fully get behind until you’re in a specific mood? That’s exactly what happened when Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes fame dropped a surprise album by her side project, Thunderbitch, last month.  Maybe it’s the changing of the seasons, or maybe I overdosed on too much vitamin D(isco), but I’m really digging the gritty rock n roll vibes now.
