Arts & Entertainment Concert Review: U2 The first time we saw U2 it was 1984 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Obviously, that was a long time ago: pre-Apple commercials, pre-hanging out with politicians, pre-heavy-handed attempts at irony, pre-blues co-opting,

Arts & Entertainment SFist "Reviews": The Sun/Apollo Sunshine Mondays are a hard night for live music -- crowds are smaller, audiences are distracted, and folks can't really justify going out super early, or staying out super late. We're sorry to admit

Arts & Entertainment Concert Review: Cut Copy at Popscene Cut Copy's CD Bright Like Neon Love makes us smile and dance like no other CD we own. We haven't taken a shine to an upbeat electro-pop band like this since Tahiti 80.
