MNDR Lights Up Mercury Lounge
M is for MNDR at Mercury Lounge last Monday. It was a special treat for fans like myself who are eagerly awaiting new material as she played three amazing new songs! My pal Sheena Beaston captured some great video footage of the songs which you can hear on her site. MNDR’s live show is full [...]
Summer is Gone; A Recap of August
If you visit this site regularly you will notice that I have barely updated this summer. 2010 has been a year for major changes and maturing (if you can believe it) in a sense. After hitting a plateau in every sense of the word with my previous job of nearly 4 years, I left for [...]
In Awe of What’s in Front of Me: Empire of the Sun Live at Terminal 5
Back in 2008 a friend introduced me to Empire of the Sun via the music video for Walking on a Dream, my initial reaction being “What is this…?” After a few listens, views and the supplemental debut album, Empire of the Sun began to make sense. Two years after the release of Walking on a [...]

Cut Copy and Memory Tapes at The Williamsburg Waterfront
Last Sunday was without a doubt the biggest and busiest of Jelly’s Pool Party series at the Williamsburg Waterfront, a line-up that included Punches, Glasser, Restless People with headliners Memory Tapes and Cut Copy. Music fans and those-to-be-scene packed in tight for the show, but once the music started the attitudes seemed to clear out [...]
Arcade Fire Live at Madison Square Garden
After coming to terms with not being able to attend Lollapalooza this year, I scored a very last minute ticket for Arcade Fire (a main draw to the festival for me) here in New York. Arcade Fire were in town for two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden with Spoon, the August 5th show streaming [...]

All Hearts Tour: Robyn, Kelis & Dan Black Take Over NYC
Earlier this year Robyn and Kelis announced a joint tour via Twitter called All Hearts Tour. Lucky for New Yorkers like myself, the multi-city tour included three NYC-area shows including one at The Music Hall of Williamsburg and two at Manhattan’s Webster Hall (which all quickly sold out!) For the tour the ladies invited Dan [...]
Interpol Live at The House of Blues Atlantic City
Last Saturday I made my first trip out to Atlantic City to catch Interpol on their summer tour stop at The House of Blues. Nearly a month after briefly seeing their chaotic set at Creators Project, it was awesome to see the band properly with their new line-up that includes David Pajo and Brandon Curtis [...]
Lemonade Live at Santos Party House
Last week Lemonade played a free gig at Santos Party House for For the StyleCaster Summer Concert Series presented by BCBG. It was a strange event for the band, which attracted an unusual crowd for the 42 Below Vodka open bar. Most of the people in the audience had never even heard of Lemonade (beside [...]
