About Dave Abrams
 |
Dave Abrams is a life long music fanatic. Much to the dismay of his parents and neighbors he decided that he was going to be a drummer at a very early age. By age 12 you could find Dave annoying the neighbors and anyone within earshot of his garage with his incessant drumming. After years of drumming he realized that drummers don't get enough attention and decided to try his luck at the guitar. That experiment failed miserably so he decided instead of torturing listeners ears with his own music that he would share his love of all things musical by reporting on bands, festivals and new releases instead. |

Phish fans know that spending Halloween with Phish is usually an experience unlike many others. The band has been known for putting on a ‘musical costume’ at their Halloween shows and delighting Phans by playing an album from another band in its entirety (that’s Phish’s costume). However, last Halloween Phish did something a little out of character and played their own new material from what would eventually become Fuego. Is this a sign of things to come for future Halloween…

If you haven’t heard of Mike Love (no not the one from the Beach Boys) you need to stop what you have going on right now and cut out about 11 minutes so you can watch this video. The video is simple and straight forward. A guy with a guitar and a guy with some percussion and a hell of a lot…

Ready! Set! moe.
I’ve been anticipating moe. coming to Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale for several months. As soon as it was announced I made sure my schedule was clear and that I had my tickets. Even though it seems like the band has been on the road non-stop for the last year this is the first opportunity I had to catch them this year. Before I get into the incredible show let me tell you a little about the venue. The maximum…
