Livetronica Sampler 3.22.11

Words by Greg Molitor ( ReMIND Photography ) Ozric Tentacles This British group has proven innovative throughout the years offering a space-rock meets psytrance sound that remains alive to this day. Though never having a major record label, Ozric Tentacles has produced 28 albums of diverse psychedelia throughout its career. The band met at the Stonehenge Free Festival in 1983 and truly fathered livetronica music with its use of sequencers and synthesizers. Simply put, there would be no livetronica without Ozric Tentacles. www.ozrics.com Octopus Nebula Colorado’s Octopus Nebula has certainly hit its stride as of late with its constant touring and increased festival interest. The group expands on the deep sounds of highly regarded acts such as STS9 and Shpongle but also carves a path of its own with its fresh takes on synthesizer tones and sampling in the live setting. Octopus Nebula Live at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on March 26, 2010. <--- Direct Archive Link www.octopus

Stephen Sanchez & The Paper Kites 10.13.24

Coca-Cola Roxy Atlanta, GA Words & photos by Caro Alexander It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Atlanta, GA with a fall chill (finally) in the air and the sunset glowing orange over Cobb Parkway, where fans line up outside the Coca-Cola Roxy for Stephen Sanchez & The Paper Kites. Stephen Sanchez is a Nashville-originated singer-songwriter, whose career took off running in 2021 with his debut EP, What Was, Not Now . In 2022, his song “Until I Found You” exploded onto the charts, thanks to its enormous trend on TikTok and the song became his first Hot 100 hit. Through Sanchez’s music, you’re launched back into the 1950s - 1960s age of music, telling stories about love, loss, and the struggles of a troubadour. The night started off with a breeze in The Roxy with The Paper Kites flying in to start the night. The five-piece Australian band made their presence known with a set of soul-wrenching ballads, harmonies, and an array of instrumentals provided by banjos, harmonicas, guitars

Buckethead: Gimmick or Guitar God?

Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( phatphlogblog.blogspot.com ) At what point does the gimmick overshadow the performance? The obvious answer is Buckethead. The man is an amazing guitarist but something is not right in this world. The idea a performer who dons a KFC chicken bucket on his head for a concert has always intrigued me, and some of his side projects such as Colonel Claypool’s Bernie Bucket of Brains have been huge successes. However his performance last weekend in Fort Collins simply left me perplexed. From his robotic dancing, to his nunchuck display, to the fact the he performed with an iPod rather than a band all added to my confusion. Going into the show I was ready to be blown away, despite rumblings of disgruntled fans from the previous night’s show at The Gothic. Buckethead had had some sound issues and some missed cues in Denver but I was still trying to be positive for the show in Fort Collins. It did go off without a hitch technically but that was the least
