With having played six or more shows during CMJ 2015, Methyl Ethel were hard to miss and yet I only made it to one of their shows, the one at Pianos. Before Jake Webb (vocals, guitar), Thom Stewart (bass) and Chris Wright (drums) took the stage, I ran into Thom at[…]
While the big summer festivals still book only few female artists the situation at showcase festivals like CMJ or SXSW fortunately looks much better. And rightfully so: much of the exicting music nowadays is made by women. Check out some more photos of CMJ shows, all happened to be done[…]
L.A. artist Lena Fayre has been around a few years and it is entirely my fault that I haven’t heard about her until last CMJ, where she fortunately played a few showcases, among them the Atypical Sounds/Audiofemme takeover at The Delancey. See photos of her show below and listen to[…]
DF3, a synth pop trio from California via Mexico and Brooklyn, were scheduled to play two shows for CMJ 2015, both at equally intimate dance clubs on the Lower East Side. First up was their show at Leftfield, which I decided to catch. Two days later, a show at Fat[…]

April came around, and 1st Bath got released, Avid Dancer‘s superb debut album, which I loved from the spot (review here). It didn’t take me more than one run through to know that this would be among my top 20 maybe even top 10 albums of 2015. So, I was super[…]
If you immerse yourself in a multi-day music festival like CMJ or SXSW, you’ll find yourself sooner or later at a point where everything blurs and you don’t really feel anymore if it’s day or night. Then you want to see a band like Dilly Dally from Toronto, who wakes[…]
Until next Tuesday, basically the only chance to hear anything from Courtesy Tier was to see them live – not counting amateur fan videos of their gigs on YouTube or the just recently added band video for Childish Blues. Yet, finally next week, they will release their debut EP Little[…]
