Music, madness and mayhem....
EvilTapo is the hub for good ol' homespun tales about music, from all things metal to jangly indie and lotsa stuff in-between. EvilTapo is written and compiled by fans for fans. We go to shows. We take pictures. We read about music. And then we share the love.

M. shares his feelings about the new Metallica album Hardwired...To Self-Destruct and gives us a few tips on how to spot a true metal head in a crowd.
E. explains why she skipped the Desert Trip, in spite of a) her love of the desert, b) her love of music, c) her love of Coachella, d) her perpetual infatuation with "the cute Beatle," and e) her deep admiration for Paul Tollett & crew.
E.'s middle schooler gives us a lesson in Girl Power with this alt/indie/kickass playlist, featuring Best Coast, Etta James, Hinds, the Vivian Girls and mas mucho muchachas.

Coachella 2015 - Weekend 2
Fonda Theater - March 2016
E.: Jack White's Final Electric Show at Coachella 2015 (Weekend 2) - He did five more acoustic live shows the next week before "retiring" his live show. I see it as more of a hibernation, less of a retirement. Or is that wishful thinking? Regardless, Daddy played real nice that night.
E.: Coachella 2015 - Weekend 2 - Although I love Coachella all the time (well, maybe not at 4 pm on Sunday afternoon... If you've been there, all hot and irritated in the beer tent, sitting in a patch of dirt and litter with a slight bit of shade on your face and without even a shred of desire to talk to your friend anymore, let alone make it to the Coachella finish line of seeing the Sunday night main stage show, you know what I mean), but it really shines when the sun goes down.
Weekend 2 - Main Stage 2015
AC/DC dominated the main stage at Coachella 2015, Weekend 2. The light-up devil horns were a nice touch.
E.: I fell for Alex Turner and Arctic Monkeys in 2006 when they were on SNL. Is it considered "full circle" that by the time I actually saw them live, my daughters were teenagers and they were in full-blown AM mania? Like mama, like ducklings, I guess...

Arcade Fire knows what they’re doing. They’re no longer striving to be the cool kids who mask their naivete with denim jackets and Doc Martens (although their current tour get-ups are plenty cool with exactly those items). They no longer need to shout their lyrics to be heard; people are listening.
