Live music review: England’s Idles delivered wild night at Moody Amphitheater May 21

May 28, 2024 Case Cockrell 1163 Views garage rock, Idles, live music, Moody Amphitheater, new music, post-punk, punk rock, Review, Tangk

Sometimes, chaos is laced with love. Bristol, England’s Idles have been shooting off musical mortar shells since 2009, and each new release has seen the English band building off the previous. If you’re a fan of post-punk, hardcore, dance-punk, or anything punk rock-related in new music, Idles is a band that will strike a chord with your music listening holes. On their latest album, Tangk, Idles enlisted the help of Radiohead’s right-hand man, Nigel Godrich. The result was a more dialed-back, calculated effort from the group, touching on hints of dance music and soft rock cuts that aren’t without the England band’s carefully calibrated ballistic nature that their rabid fanbase has become accustomed to.

Live music review: My Morning Jacket Delivers One Big Holiday to Moody Amphitheater

May 4, 2022 Drew Doggett 1456 Views George Strait, Jim James, live music, MMJ, Moody Amphitheater, My Morning Jacket, Review, Willie Nelson

Where most artists deliver the runtime of a long HBO episode, a My Morning Jacket set is an epic Peter Jackson film. On April 29 in Austin, the band played a two-hour, 45 minute marathon, with nearly as many songs (22) as years they have been together (24). In other words, it was your typical, kick-ass MMJ set.

Live music review: Fleet Foxes brought fireworks to Moody Amp 4th of July weekend

July 11, 2022 Greg Ackerman 722 Views Fleet Foxes, live music, Moody Amp, Moody Amphitheater, Review

Seattle’s Fleet Foxes debut received similar lazy comparisons to Crosby, Stills & Nash and Simon and Garfunkel reincarnate. While it’s great company, the band has routinely broken the mold in each album cycle, challenging themselves to push the outer edges of their competence and confidence. On July 3 at Moody Amphitheater, they demonstrated why harmony-rich folk-rock can be sophisticated and breathtaking.
