Laura Marling at The Music Hall of Williamsburg [Pictures + Video]
For some reason everytime Laura Marling has played an NYC gig something prevented me from attending. However when Marling came back to town on Thursday night to play The Music Hall of Williamsburg in support of I Speak Because I Can, my string of missed connections with the English folk singer came to an end. [...]
Kate Nash at Music Hall of Williamsburg [Pics + Video]
Last night Kate Nash played The Music Hall of Williamsburg, the second of two sold out New York shows in support of her latest album, My Best Friend is You. It was my very first time seeing Kate Nash in concert and although her performance was slightly hindered by a broken foot, it went above [...]
TLC vs. Golden Silvers: NYC Debut
London indie outfit, Golden Silvers, have had a very charmed and auspicious beginning; winning the Glastonbury New Talent Award in 2008, releasing debut album True Romance on XL to critical acclaim, coming to the US as a CMJ buzz band, and closing out last year with a place on the shortlist for The Guardian’s 2009 First [...]
New Calvin Music Video: Flashback + Brooklyn DJ Set
Last month we capped off Fashion’s Night Out in New York with a DJ set by Calvin Harris at The Music Hall of Williamsburg. Yes Giantess kicked off the night before Calvin took over with his headlining DJ set. The event was 16+ so we took a safe and comfortable spot above the stage taking [...]
Mew Amuses The Music Hall of Williamsburg!
My first time seeing Mew live was in 2006 when they supported Bloc Party at McCarren Park Pool (R.I.P.). It was a fantastic set that thankfully put the unique Danish band permanently on my radar. Mew’s 5th album, No More Stories (released on Tuesday in the US) pushes the band into new “art rock” terrain [...]

The xx are a South London-based quartet comprised of lead singers Oliver Sim (bass) and Romy Madley Croft (lead guitar), Jamie Smith (drum machine, sampler) and Baria Qureshi (guitar and keyboard.) The xx have described their influences as “everything from Aaliyah to Cocorosie, Rhianna to The Cure, Missy Elliott to The Chromatics and Mariah Carey [...]
Friendly Fires at Music Hall of Williamsburg + Le Poisson Rouge
Honestly, Friendly Fires’ gig at Le Poisson Rouge last Wednesday is one that I’d like to wipe clean from my memory. There was no air conditioning, the crowd was terrible (see Concertgoer Wall of Shame), the set times were delayed hours, all of which took it’s toll on the band. With this said I will [...]
The Maccabees Take on NYC with Miike Snow
We got very excited way back in February when The Maccabees released track No Kind Words as a free download and prelude to sophomore effort, Wall of Arms. It seemed like we’d been waiting forever to hear new material from our favorite UK art-rockers and even longer to finally see them live. I fell in [...]
Peaches At The Music Hall of Williamsburg: Gonna Whip This Party Into Shape
Last month I had the delight of seeing Peaches for the first time at Webster Hall. That show was a topic of discussion for the weeks leading up to Friday night’s show which was luckily added to the ongoing tour as a make up date for Drums of Death missing his Webster Hall set after [...]
Au Revoir Simone + The Antlers at The Music Hall of Williamsburg
I’d never seen Brooklyn-formed trios Au Revoir Simone or The Antlers perform live before so last night was a delightful treat! The Antlers took the stage after 10PM to the friendly Friday night crowd at the Music Hall of Williamsburg and powered through a strong set in support of their latest record Hospice. The Antler’s [...]
