I wish I had a bear on whose shoulders I could rest at shows. The Flaming Lips‘ Wayne Coyne does have this bear I speak of and I am just a little jealous – well okay it’s someone in a bear suit – but I won’t let that ruin my joy over these photos. Coyne’s also got a giant hamster ball to roll around in, and that looks pretty awesome too. Here’s some magical photographic evidence by Alex Crick of the Flaming Lips’ Paramount show:

New York duo Matt and Kim headlined at the Showbox on Tuesday evening. The band’s third album, Sidewalks is slated for a November 2010 release. Mark it on your calendar. They were joined by Fang Island and Seattle’s Champagne Champagne, and Alex Crick worked so hard this week taking photos this week. Three shows in a row – thank you, Alex!

Show Review & Photos: UPROAR @ White River Amphitheatre
On 9/25/2010 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival invaded White River Amphitheatre for the very first time. Many of the bands were new to me, so I was really anxious to check it out. New Medicine was a great surprise. Their set was fun, and they had just enough edge to fit in with the rest of the bands on the tour. Airbourne was incredible as usual. They are an Australian rock outfit in the vein of AC/DC and seem to be incapable of giving a poor show. From the tight jeans to the Gibson Explorers to the long hair, they are so cliche that it actually works. Airbourne doesn’t do ANYTHING that hasn’t been done before, but they are always pure entertainment. Halestorm gave a solid outing as did Stone Sour. Avenged Sevenfold in my opinion had the best stage of the night and also seemed to draw the largest crowd. Disturbed, to be honest, was terribly boring and it showed…so that’s why they aren’t included in this photo set. Photos by Graham Lee.
