Milwaukee’s Miramar Theatre saw a sold-out show last Friday, April 14th, from Vermont rockers Twiddle. They played a one set heater that saw massive jams and two debut covers in the encore slot, leaving every person that filled the place to maximum capacity wanting more from the Plumpty Dumpty tour.Steez returned to open the show for Twiddle for the second time in as many nights. They had some great talk box vocals in songs like “Last Night,” and played a phenomenal cover of The Knocks’ “Classic” with a jazzy saxophone introduction. The tune had everyone moving. Do yourself a favor and check out Steez.Twiddle’s show started when Mihali Savoulidis came on stage by himself. With his back to the crowd and arms spread wide open, and Seal’s “Kissed by a Rose” blaring over the speakers, a roadie donned his guitar over his shoulder and placed his signature fedora on his mane. He turned around and smiled. The crowd went nuts. The rest of the band took the stage, and they were ready to start when drummer Brook Jordan commented he forgot his drum sticks and ran off stage to retrieve them. Classic.Once they started the music, things were cooking. They began with an amazing rendition of “Lost in the Cold.” One of the best tracks of their newer album Plump, the song translated well to the live setting. Twiddle added an impressive jam to the song, clocking in at over fifteen minutes. It was a great opener.“Beehop” had a fairly psychedelic acid jazz introduction before opening up and eventually settling in “Mamunes the Faun.” The best portion of the night came from “Tom’s Song” into “The Box.” It featured two very distinct jams that were hypnotically good. There was also a solid “Eye of the Tiger” jam in there as well. Afterwards, they mentioned how it was the first time on the tour that they played “The Box,” and perhaps that it why they raged it so hard. Either way, bassist Zdenek Gubb and Jordan just looked at each other after they finally finished the song and gave each other a fist pound. It was a sign of mutual respect for the rocking they just accomplished.“Jamflowman” followed, featuring an amazing bass solo from Gubb. “Jamflowman” segued into the more reggae tune of “Frankenfoote,” complete with keyboardist Ryan Dempsey standing on his seat with one foot and playing the keyboards with the other.The encore was something special. Before they started, Jordan commented, “Thank you for selling this place out tonight… so far from home.” It was a nice message that was very sincere. He went on to relate how they used to listen to a special song after every show, wondering when they would play that song themselves as a cover.Last night, in Milwaukee, was that night. Not only did they debut a cover of The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” but they also debuted a cover of Shaggy’s “Wasn’t Me” sandwiched in between! What an incredible way to put a cap on this performance.Don’t miss Twiddle when they make their debut at the Capitol Theatre on May 7th, with opening support from TAUK.

Last night, Pink Talking Fish played the second of three nights at Nectar‘s, the beloved venue that Phish called home for many years in Burlington, VT. The band delivered two sets, one of their standard mix of Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, and Phish songs, and a second set that contained a full performance of Pink Floyd’s album Animals.Set one opened with “Frankenstein,” the high-energy track by Edgar Winter that has turned into a fan-favorite cover for Phish. PTF jammed out of the intense song and segued into “Young Lust” from The Wall, and then “Crosseyed And Painless.” “Rift” was a great choice to follow up the impressive opener segment. Pink Floyd’s “Fearless” came next, a good cool down in energy before the band picked it right back up again with “Making Flippy Floppy.” The band transitioned into TV On the Radio‘s “Golden Age”, another cover song from Phish’s cover catalog, before moving into “Mother”. “Found a Job,” and a mashup of “Tennessee Jed” by The Grateful Dead and “Ocelet finished things up for set one.Set two started with one of Phish’s most rarely performed songs, “Harpua.” In true Phish tradition, PTF would segue into Pink Floyd’s Animals, performing the album in its entirety, before finishing up the fan-favorite rarity. It was reminiscent of Phish’s famous Dark Side of the Moon show, which also took place in the middle of a “Harpua.” The band did switch things up of course, pairing Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” with Phish’s “The Dogs,” and putting the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” in the middle of Floyd’s “Sheep.” The band also included “Guyute” in the set, which appropriately sandwiched “Pigs.”For the encore, the band performed “Seamus”, and “Sleeping Monkey,” ending the night perfectly after the wild first and second sets.Thankfully, taper Keith Litzenberger was on hand, and he quickly uploaded the audio for your listening pleasure. The audio for both sets can be found below.Pink Talking Fish | Nectar’s | Burlington, VT | 3/3/2017Set 1: Frankenstein > Young Lust > Crosseyed And Painless, Rift, Fearless*> Making Flippy Floppy**> Golden Age> Mother, Found A Job, Tennessee Jed/Ocelot MashupSet 2: Harpua*** > Pigs On The Wing Part 1 > Wild Wild Life > Dogs > The Dog > Dogs > This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody), Guyute> Pigs (3 Different Ones)> Guyute, Sheep> Psycho Killer> Sheep> Pigs On The Wing Part 2> HarpuaE: Seamus, Sleeping Monkey*w/ Bug tease**w/ First Tube tease***w/ Story about Jimmy living on a farm and flying pigs[Photo via Capacity Images] read more
Steve Vai is a living guitar legend. Voted #10 on Guitar World‘s 2012 “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” poll, the axe man was a leader among the talented crop of metal and heavy rock electric guitar masters that came to prominence during the 1980’s. At the age of thirteen, after having purchased his first guitar and begun taking his first lessons with fellow New York native Joe Satriani, Vai became obsessed with the discipline of practice. Vai’s practice routine, consisting of a rigid and structured regiment of ten-to-fifteen hour-a-day practice schedules, became the basis of his work ethic for the rest of his career.Vai got started on his music industry as an 18-year-old transcriptionist for Frank Zappa, and went on to join Zappa’s band for several years before embarking on a decorated solo career. He has also toured with seminal 80’s rock acts like Whitesnake and David Lee Roth, and participated in live projects like Zappa Plays Zappa and “Experience Hendrix,” and has recorded with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Meatloaf, and many more. A thoroughly individual player, Vai’s playing is marked by his technical proficiency and diverse playing techniques, including two-handed tapping, sweep picking, whammy bar acrobatics, and beyondBeyond his own personal playing, Vai is known for his technical innovations in the world of the electric guitar. The Ibanez JEM model that he co-designed (with its trademark body handle) is one of the most iconic instruments in contemporary music. He also designed the first comercially-produced 7-string guitar, the Ibanez Universe, which became virtually ever-present in heavy rock and metal sub-genres throughout the ensuing decade.In honor of his 57th birthday today, take a few minutes to bask in the glory of these classic Steve Vai shred-fests below, like this video of Vai tapping and riffing away on a triple-necked guitar at The Fillmore in Denver on 10/20/03……or this clip of Vai’s shred duel with actor Ralph Macchio from the 1986 film “Crossroads…”Or this clip of Vai and former Ozzy Osborne guitarist Zakk Wylde tag-teaming Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child…”…Or this glamorous live performance of his Alien Love Secrets (’95) instrumental, “Tender Surrender.”Happy birthday, Steve! read more
