Stop The World: The Big Pink Live at Bowery Ballroom!
The Big Pink‘s debut album A Brief History of Love was fittingly released this past September to critical acclaim and heavy rotation on many of my playlists. Before diving into my review of the show, I’d like to share a brief history of the band: The Big Pink is comprised of Robbie Furze (lead) and [...]

In September Jack Peñate and Miike Snow embarked on a joint US tour with 2 stops at New York’s famed Mercury Lounge.

Passion Pit Incite Dancefest at Bowery Ballroom
We’ve been championing Passion Pit for going on a year now and it was an truly impressive sight to see how far this band has come from playing to modest crowds at Pianos last summer and an opening slot for French Kicks at Bowery Ballroom to booking two high profile, sold-out, headlining shows at Bowery in [...]

The Whip + Late of the Pier at Bowery Ballroom
I was first introduced to Manchester’s The Whip last summer when they played McCarren Park Pool. In perfect form with smuggled in sangria, I was won over by catchy tunes like Trash and Blackout. With a female on drums (so badass), the thrashy clash of synths, keyboard, bass, guitar and a very lively front man [...]
NME Presents Part 2: White Lies at Bowery Ballroom
The second half of the NME Presents double-headlining bill was post-punk Londoners, White Lies. This band spends a lot of time contemplating the dark and the morbid, but the result is extremely romantic and affecting pop music. Uniformly clad in all black and backed by bright white lights, the band played an impressive set of [...]
