Clap Your Hands: Sia Wows at NYC’s Terminal 5!
Last night was my first time properly seeing Sia perform live in concert, but it almost didn’t happen due to a hellish battle with NYC public transportation. Somehow I made it with 10 minutes to spare to Terminal 5 (which is a journey), phew! The stage was covered with crocheted slips and colorful stripes after [...]
Little Boots, Class Actress & Body Language at Highline Ballroom
I’ve been writing about Little Boots since the early days of Tastes Like Caramel, an artist who has gone from covering songs from her bedroom on YouTube to winning BBC’s Sound of 2009 Award and back around.

The Monster Ball at Radio City Music Hall: Lady Gaga Shows Her Teeth

Fever Ray + Vuk Final Night at Webster Hall: Now's The Only Time I Know
In 2001, Swedish musical duo/siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer carved their name into the electro-pop music scene as The Knife. Their sound was arguably ahead of its time and it wasn’t until 2003′s Deep Cuts that The Knife broke through with one of the best pop songs ever recorded, Heartbeats. I was one [...]

Jack Penate Announces US Tour Dates!
We caught Jack Peñate earlier this month (on my birthday to be exact) and it was such a great treat! Peñate blends so many different flavors into his sound and doesn’t slack on the stage presence! With this said, we’re excited for his return to the states! Don’t miss the crooner on tour this fall [...]
Peaches At The Music Hall of Williamsburg: Gonna Whip This Party Into Shape
