Photos: Maria Taylor @ Barboza

The as always low-keyed, but thoroughly entertaining, Maria Taylor made a stop at Barboza during the first leg of her 2014 tour. She started on drums while playing a few songs from her new album, Something About Knowing, then switched to guitar and occasionally piano for the remainder of the set. Maria had 3 other members in her band which included brother Macey Taylor on bass. They concluded their set with a rocking version of “Xanax” from her first album, 2005’s 11:11.

Videos: Jagwar Ma & Maximo Park

Posted on by

Australia’s Jagwar Ma put on one of my very favorite shows last year when they headlined the Neptune. Their album, Howlin’, took over my summer; I think I can nearly dream in that album. I’m currently enjoying their video for “Uncertainty,” with its starry skies and desert landscape.

The distinctive Maximo Park is back with their first self-produced album, Too Much Information. I’m looking forward to seeing this quartet again when they play the Crocodile on May 12th! Enjoy the video for “Brain Cells,” featuring the kind of dancing you just might do while all alone. Maybe?
