Good Machine (Self-Released). Review by Jen Cray.

For their second trip to Orlando in just three months time, Portugal the Man took a backseat in billing (to Rock Votolato), and quietly appeared as an opener at the same venue that they had previously sold out on their own. Jen Cray was back for a second helping of these Alaska boys.

Church Mouth (Fearless). Review by Jen Cray.

Though this festival built its reputation as a lovefest for jambands and hippies, Bonnaroo in 2007 opened its arms up to more modern rock bands, bringing in a whole new audience. One new convert was Jen Cray , whose weekend in the mountains of Tennessee is not one she’s soon to forget.

The Horrors are a skinny, gothly clad bunch living inside of a late night radio flashback to the alternative side of the 70’s and 80’s- and don’t we all want to slip into that dark little world once again?! Frontman Faris Badwan answered a few questions for newly converted fan Jen Cray.

Forbi Fabriken (Novoton). Review by Aaron Shaul.

The Hold Steady are in part known for the copious amounts of alcohol they consume onstage during every performance. How much alcohol can they actually get through in an hour and change? Jen Cray was at their Orlando gig to find out.

Jack White silenced the death rattle of rock music with The White Stripes and has gone on to ensure the future of modern music with The Raconteurs. Was there ever any doubt that Jen Cray would be at their Orlando show?!
