Plans for Wednesday Night?

If you don’t already have plans, strike that, even if you do have plans, you should drop them.

InnerView: The Perennials

I first met Amanda and Pete after they completed a short set at Roots Cafe in Brooklyn right before the holidays. It was a quiet weekday evening, audience’s eyes glued to the couple performing a few feet in front of them, sipping their coffees and relaxing as the snow fell. I was blown away by [...]

Brooklyn Music Feature: In The Belly of the Whale

Sipping whiskey at South bar, Todd Bogin and his guys plop a seat at a booth, uneasy to start talking about the band they’ve birthed over the last year: Whale Belly. It’s been a string of good luck, community support, and hard honest work that has brought the four-piece together to make a name for [...]

Concert Review: New Found Glory and Saves The Day 10th Anniversary Tour

I caught the 10th Anniversary Tour featuring pop punk legends  New Found Glory and emo punk stars  Saves The Day at Starland Ballroom in New Jersey.  It was a nostalgic night; I felt part of history in some weird way, and to be there surrounded by so many dedicated fans made it even more special.

My Dinosaur Life with Motion City Soundtrack

Motion City Soundtrack can do no wrong. This is fact. The Minneapolis based synth-pop rock band never ceases to amaze fans with hilarious commentary, entertaining stage moves, and rocktastic performances. So when I heard they would be coming back to New York with a new album, My Dinosaur Life,  and new string of shows, I [...]

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.
