RX Bandits guitarist Steve Choi reflects on 16 years and one final tour

Music: To hear Steve Choi of RX Bandits tell it, there was never a proper sit-down about changing the sound of the SoCal third-wave ska group formed in 1995. There was no mission statement, no formal realization, no heady, late-night conversation over a bowl and brews. By Adam Villela Coronado 6/29/2011

Crosby, Stills & Nash: 'CSN 2012 (Live)'

Photo: , License: N/A


By Enrique Lopetegui

Published: August 15, 2012

Time hasn't been kind on CSN, judging by their first live performance in 20 years. Here the trio (each twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their collective work on CSN, The Hollies, and Buffalo Springfield) sounds tired, unrehearsed, and poorly recorded. The band and the songs are there, but the magical harmonies are gone. Let us all hope by the time they play at the Majestic Aug. 17 ($46-$126, 8pm, 224 E Houston, ticketmaster.com) they're much closer to their glory days of the late '60s and early '70s.
