In October, we went all indie-electronic, probably our first show focused on this genre only. Those in attendance were in for a treat as these acts tend to make themselves rare and keep their live performances sparse. Opening the evening, and being the most ‘pop’ was MAJO convincing with her

“What A Night” is the beautifully upbeat new single by Amsterdam-based singer/songwriter and producer Thijs Havens who goes by Havens for his solo project.

SONG PICK: Sevdaliza - Mad Woman

In her latest song, Sevdaliza almost whispers the words over heavy, dark electronic textures. Whatever the titular “Mad Woman” has in her mind, it probably will not end well. Sevdaliza is born in Iran, lives in the Netherlands and has her hands in many projects in music and film, for

NEW MUSIC: Nala - Woman EP

Nala is a band from Sweden, who does unapologetic, stadium-ready alternative rock anthems, like the closer and title track of their new EP “Woman”. No wonder that they played several festivals in their home country this summer and I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear a lot more of

SONG PICK: Willodean - The Gold

“The Gold” by Los Angeles-based indie rock trio Willodean is absolutely gorgeous with its lazy beats, lush guitar strumming and a crazy-cool hook that is impossible to escape.

NEW MUSIC: Cusi Coyllur - Woke Up from a Lazy Dream

After her intense track “amivulnerable” Shannen Roberts aka Cusi Coyllur strikes a lighter note. Musically, that is. At a closer look “Woke Up from a Lazy Dream” is a wild ride through different states of mind of a panic attack. Shannen explains: It never feels like I’m in control

SONG PICK: Newmen - Electric Eel / Humanin

No, this is not Germany in the mid 70s but Germany in the late 2017s. The Frankfurt-based neo wave indie rock band Newmen just released the double track “Electric Eel / Humanin” and it is impossible to choose a favorite among the two. And why should we anyway? Analog synths meet

SONG PICK: DYGL - Let It Sway

Hard to believe that DYGL call Tokyo their home because their new single “Let It Sway” sounds as English as The Kooks and as New York as The Strokes, which comes as no surprise with Albert Hammond Jr. and Gus Obert as producers. Let’s give the Japanese quartet the

PHOTOS: Statues of Liberty Live at Arlene's Grocery

It started out very romantic, how we happen to know about Statues of Liberty and became avid fans in the process: in the summer of 2007, we were invited to celebrate the wedding of a friend in Upstate New York. Said friend, a musician, married another musician and the festivities

It is easy to instantly fall for “Strangely Addicted”. Hard.

Occasionally, the direct way is best: “You And Me” does not leave much room for interpretation and then again… it does! Without question though is “You And Me” ultra gorgeous and magnetic with its light, dancy beats and emotive vibe. It is also the newest single by Chicago-based indie electronic

Today, I came across the posting of a musician friend who asked her friends/fans “of the bands/artists you’ve seen live, who put on the best show and why?” The conversations she had initiated on her ‘timeline’ were very well all about (super)stars shows like Björk or
