The Like at The 24-Hour Zac Posen for Target Pop-up Store
Last week The Like performed a live set for the Zac Posen for Target Pop-Up store in Midtown. It was an experience/world that I normally only step into twice a year for New York Fashion Week but I figured why not? Obviously none of the clothing was suited my personal taste but it was awesome [...]
Romy's (The Xx) DJ Set at Le Poisson Rouge
Last night The Xx’s female vocalist Romy Madley Croft spun records for her headlining 2AM DJ set at the West Village’s Le Poisson Rouge. Finger on the Pulse and VHS or Beta packed the dance floor with their pounding DJ sets before handing the decks off to Romy. Quite different from what you’d expect to [...]
Rihanna Performs With Jay-Z Amid a Snow Storm in NYC
Saturday evening Rihanna was scheduled to play an outdoor show at Rockefeller Center in New York City to be aired as a part of Carson Daly’s New Year’s Eve special. Fans including myself were stoked for the performance…until hearing about the Major Snowstorm that hit the East Coast that day! However, we all braved the [...]

Gig Spotlight: Pixies Doolittle Tour at Hammerstein Ballroom!
I’m lucky enough to be going to Pixies first of four NYC shows for the Doolittle Tour, which finally comes to town tonight! The tour is being pegged as a “cinematic extravaganza,” and just imagining myself at Hammerstein Ballroom tonight makes me squee! Tonight’s opening act is Black Gold, with Jay Reatard playing on the [...]
Sleigh Bells at Le Poisson Rouge
Sleigh Bells played yet another fantastic set last night, this time I caught them at Le Poisson Rouge. Derek mentioned LPR having a great sound system in our interview (Sleigh Bells: CMJ, The Hype and Beyond) especially for my favorite song Beach Girls, and I couldn’t agree more for those epic beat drops! It was a [...]
Peaches Rocks Terminal 5 with Amanda Blank!
Collectively I’ve seen Saturday’s line up 8 times this year. Peaches: 3, Amanda Blank: 5. Amanda Blank was first up and after having seen her set four times this year alone, it was clear that Amanda was bringing something bigger something better to the stage this time around. Her 45-minute set began after 9PM and [...]
Friendly Fires' US Tour Kickoff Party in NYC!
Last night, after being in the states for less than 24 hours, Friendly Fires played a random private party for Fred Perry at SPIN New York…and you can trust Tastes Like Caramel was there for all of the fun! It was our first time at the venue which played host to a ping pong event [...]
Peter Bjorn and John + Special Guests at Webster Hall
Last week I caught my favorite Swedish pop band, Peter Bjorn and John‘s show at Webster Hall. PBJ hit the stage with an all-star cast that included El Perro Del Mar, Spank Rock, U-N-I, Matt Sweeney and Andrew WK in what felt like a Monday night variety show! The onstage collaborations were great but the [...]
