Next Stop…Atlantic/Pacific!

In the midst of all the CMJ madness, Planet Verge managed to spend sometime in Park Slope with Brooklyn’s own Atlantic/Pacific. We got an exclusive interview and semi-acoustic performance of their song “The Inquisition.”

Afterward Garrett and John escorted the PV ladies over to one of their favorite Brooklyn hotspots! We learned more about the guys, [...]

Rosina’s Wednesday CMJ Romp

Wednesday evening was the start of CMJ: Day Three for Planet Verge, and what better way to start off a new day, than with Terrible Thing’s Fred Mascherino! Rosina met up with him at The Gramercy Theatre before the band’s set. Watch what he had to say to Planet Verge TV here.
After the interview Rosina [...]

Bocci, Books, and Sarah Jaffe

Sarah Jaffe is a singing, songwriting Texan with a soft voice and a big presence . Sarah played Union Hall in Brooklyn last month, and luckily Planet Verge was there to capture the evening.

The crowd was fairly modest, making the show very intimate and much more personal. As Sarah sang her songs, you really felt [...]

The Ultimate Show Survival Guide

Back in the day, circa 2003-2006, I was a show-going machine! Over that three-year span, I went to well over 150 shows and mastered the art of maneuvering my way through crowds. I was growing up though, and before I knew it concerts weren’t as affordable as they used to be, and paying rent became [...]

These Mockingbirds right here? NO, Those Mockingbirds at Maxwell’s!

This past Saturday some of the Planet Verge team rendezvoused at Maxwell’s in Hoboken for some good ole rocknrolla! There were many good bands on the bill that night but our main attraction, and reason for going, was Those Mockingbirds.
Saturday was my second time seeing Those Mockingbirds, and I was definitely not disappointed. Their energy [...]

He Can Be Your Sugar Daddy… Literally

This past Saturday a couple of us Planet Verge girls ventured down to Hoboken in pursuit of bands, beards, and baked goods. Alisha and I were the only two really interested in the baked goods aspect of the night, so we left New York with a little extra time to spare. Our plan was to [...]
