NIN/JA Tour / Verizon Wireless Amphitheater / 05.20.09

Two words: fucking brilliant.

My only quip with Nine Inch Nails was that they didn't play 'Hurt' which is one of my favorite songs. But other than that, seeing two legendary acts in one night couldn't be described any other way. Check out some of the shots from the show below:

GigMaven Kick-off

Tomorrow night, April 2nd, GigMaven kicks off their services in LA by putting on a pretty decent lineup at the Roxy. Gigmaven connects artists with live music venues to make it easier for artists to book gigs in the given locale.

As the music industry continues going through drastic changes, more and more artists are finding that they need to become their own label. Booking gigs is no easy task, and so to have a service that makes the process easier gets two thumbs up.

So come and check them out tomorrow night at the Roxy. The line-up includes:

7:45 - Jalopy (http://www.myspace.com/jalopymusic)
8:25 - Tim Bader (http://www.myspace.com/songandwager)
9:05 - Hello Vegas (http://www.myspace.com/hellovegas)
9:50 - Sierra Swan & Carina Round (http://www.myspace.com/sierraswan)
10:40 - TBD GigMaven artist

Doors open 7:00pm, so be there.
