Sorry for not updating the site over the past week. I became suddenly busy... although busy with some fun projects, so that was okay (you can read a bit about them at my other blog). Hopefully I should find some time in the next few days to update the concert ...

A heck of a lot of shows going on this weekend, especially on Saturday night. I have already talked about the shoegazer show going on at Bowie, but here a couple more that should be worth going to.

Interesting looking show coming up on Saturday (May 24) at club Bowie featuring three shoegazing bands — Lobotomy, Bulssazo and Bulgilhan Joeum. The show is the eighth Never Right show... although I must admit I have no idea what the Never Right thing is all about.

A fun little night last night, as I caught Mineri and Animal Dads at Club Bbang, then followed them over to Freebird where they played another show (this time with We Need Surgery). Not a bad couple of shows at all.
Mineri has gotten considerably tighter and more polished over the ...

I just wrote a little blurb about the rise of fun new places and shops around Hongdae. Far from complete, it is just a little essay about Indian restaurants and other fun things around. It was a decent-sized little essay, but I barely even scratched the surface. Did not talk ...

Singer Lee Sang-eun is going to be on TV a couple of times soon. KBS on May 17 (don't know what time, sorry), and then on EBS on May 19 at 8:50pm.
Her concert at Club Answer in Cheongdam-dong is being billed as her 20th anniversary concert. Which would be a ...

This is a couple of weeks late (well, three weeks), but I just discovered Janis Ian's announcement that she was canceling her part in the Flower Power Peace Concert. And it is depressing:
The South Korean dates have been cancelled, for reasons too numerous to go into here, but among them ...

Okay, I am not hearing much of anything about local Jeonju bands playing in Jeonju this weekend. But there will apparently be several Seoul bands playing there. Just in case any readers are attending the Jeonju International Film Festival and would like to catch a show, here is what's playing:
