PJ Harvey wants your fucking ass

PJ Harvey + John Parish | House of Blues, Boston | June 6, 2009
PJ Harvey's two albums with John Parish are not her best work. (Go ahead and argue it, if you like.)

All Tomorrow's Parties: MBV

My Bloody Valentine at Kutshers Country Resort, Monticello, New York, September 19-21, 2008

  July 30, 2008 at the Roxy
Spiritualized know how to bring their aural soundscapes alive in real time and space. Add strobe lights, psychedelic shapes, and an audience dancing as one and you have the perfect night out.
