We got a great start into Saturday with catching a few songs by Sunflower Beans on the UO Stage right on Bedford Avenue. The New York three piece has been on our list for a while, so we were happy to see them, even in blazing sunshine. Next on the[…]
One of the bands playing Northside Festival I was most eager to see were Courtesy Tier from Brooklyn, a three piece initially formed by Omer Leibovitz (guitar, vocals) and Layton Weedeman (drums), and now completed by Alex Picca (bass). They played Bar Matchless at 4:20 PM and put on a[…]
The Northside Festival is Brooklyn’s version of South By Southwest in Austin: it packs film, technology (“innovation”) and lots of music into one exciting week. It is much younger and smaller than SXSW, but it is growing from year to year and is well on its way to become another[…]
Last Sunday, during our fantastic weekend trip to Nasvhille, I had the great joy of seeing not just one but two alt rock bands who call Music City home, and proof that there’s more than folk and country to this place. The fairly spacious gastro music venue 3rd and Lindsley was nicely visited[…]
Living in New York City, going to a live show once if not twice a week, I am rarely star struck. While I am always looking forward to the concert I am going to attend and the musicians I’ll be seeing live, I do not anticipate a show as much as[…]
Empires, who are currently touring together with Geographer, also made a stop in New York to perform songs from their most recent album Orphan, released in September 2014. When I heard about their show at Music Hall of Williamsburg (May 21st), I was about to buy tickets when I learned that they’d also play[…]
Sunday night we ventured to Sunset Park to see a special performance by FKA twigs as part of the Red Bull Music Academy series. The place, Brooklyn Hangar is a large warehouse, normally used as a sound stage, outfitted for a three night, sold out series, where Red Bull gave[…]
Having seen Dead Leaf Echo not even two months ago at this year’s South By Southwest festival, playing old favorites but also some of their exciting new material, I was especially intrigued to see them at a Brooklyn venue, that I didn’t know yet. Last Friday, they played together with The Midnight Hollow, Tiers[…]
Keeping a favorite for last… while our South By Southwest coverage ended about two weeks ago, there’s still a band left, I wrote about before but wanted to cover as well: Highly Suspect – a pretty awesome three piece from Cape Cod and if not touring, currently residing in Brooklyn but touring they do! Not only are[…]
What a night! It was the first hot day of the year and it was Cinco de Mayo, so droves of people flocked to the Union Pool courtyard with its resident taco truck. But a good part of the crowd left the summer night party and made their way into[…]
