Estimated read time 6 min read

27 years after their initial formation, and 25 years after the release of their first album, the “original line-up” of The Samples reunited Friday night for a single show at The Fillmore Auditorium. Though the original lineup began to fracture in 1997, the songs written and recorded by the band during those first ten years remain a powerful and vivid soundtrack to the young adult lives of many dedicated followers. The hopes were high, the energy was elevated, and the plaid was plentiful. This crowd was not going to be denied a party.

Estimated read time 4 min read

Despite the Christmas parties that were raging all over town and a number of good shows packing venues on Colfax and beyond, the 1up-Colfax drew a solid crowd on Saturday night when North American Scum took the stage to perform two sets of LCD Soundsystem . The crowd was an eclectic mix of regulars, hippies, hipsters and 30 somethings looking to spend a few hours with the music of a band that called it quits at the height of their career. There’s no doubt that those who made it out for this were glad they did.

Estimated read time 4 min read

The Fillmore played host on Saturday night to a trio of bands as well as a raucous crowd of concert goers ready to explode to some hard-hitting Heavy Metal. Though no one would be so bold as to call Exodus or Suicidal Tendencies “opening acts,” the two Cali-based bands did a great job warming up the crowd at the Fillmore–by the time Slayer hit the stage, the crowd was collectively foaming at the mouth. In the end, Slayer blew the crowd away, reminding fans and critics alike why they have managed to retain a fan base for 30+ years.

Estimated read time 1 min read

Alternative rockers Pixies rocked The Fillmore on Thursday night in front of a packed house of adoring fans. Original and founding members Black Francis and Joey Santiago were joined by their original drummer David Lovering for the night’s festivities. Noticeably the bands original bassist Kim Deal was not in the lineup, as she left the band in 2013. Fact is however, her replacement on this tour, Paz Lenchantin, is perfectly capable of filling Kim’s shoes, and she did just that. Composed and talented, she meshed perfectly with the rest of the band.
