@PreciousWeapons Begin Headlining Tour
Semi Precious Weapons is on a roll. The band has spent the last nine months on tour with Lady Gaga and decided that rather than taking a break between the N.A. leg of the tour and the European part, they would hit the road to play their own 13-city “Dirty Showbiz” headlining tour. I got [...]
Roppongi’s Ace: americana refreshed
Tampa country-rock group Roppongi’s Ace have once described themselves as “mustache rock”. The distinction of this genre (real or not) is carried with them to every show they play, their moustaches very real and their rock nostalgically alive. Full-throated wails, thumping bass, and a rawness that could make a hock of beef blush are what crowds and the [...]

Bravo @JellyNewYork
Damn was the last pool party ever (?) off da hook. The people at Jelly couldn’t have ended it any better than with a day of old/nu skool hip-hop. By that I mean DMC, Doug E Fresh, The Cool Kids, Andrew WK and Gucci Mane. Enough said. Check out pics below. enjoY!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s “hitRECord”
Inception and (500) Days of Summer actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt started the hitRECord project five years ago, which has since evolved into an open collaboration production company. Anyone can join hitRECord, which runs in the form of a social network. It’s not as intuitive as Twitter or Facebook, but after spending the better part of the [...]

Introducing Blitz the Ambassador
Upon listening to Blitz the Ambassador‘s album, Stereotype, you can almost swear you are listening to a modern rendition of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” method. You are hit with live instruments including a brass section (!); certainly, there are emcees out there that utilize musicians in their albums, but something needs to be said [...]
Photos: Cut Copy @ Jelly Pool Party
First time seeing Cut Copy ever and I was not disappointed at all. They had all the kiddes, me included, jumping, dancing around making a sweaty mess with the skyline behind us. They played new and old material, including their new single, “Where I’m Going.” What a fun day indeed. enjoY! Cut Copy – Where [...]

Concert Review: Zee Avi @ The Knitting Factory
Look, she’s wearing kain batik! Photo Credit: @suedanza. Since I came back to NYC from Malaysia this past spring, Zee Avi was the one artist I’ve been dying to see. This woman has quite literally captivated the hearts and minds of all Malaysians and they are mad proud of her achievements. Her story is quite [...]
Concert: @Smashingpumpkin At Terminal 5
The rock gods above came down last night to grace us with a mesmerizing/memorable performance from the one an only, The Smashing Pumpkins. Man was this show awesome. The last time I saw them was in 1996 and it was in support of the Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness album-my first concert ever. Fast [...]

Had the pleasure of traveling over to the beautiful Governor’s Island with Michelle on Saturday to check out Hard NYC which included performances by MIA, Skream & Benga, Die Antwoord, Sleigh Bells, Rye Rye, and many more. The day started off bad, but got much better as it went on. This was my first trip [...]
@killquilty At Bruar Falls – 7/21/10
Finally got a chance to check out Quilty when they played at Bruar Falls last week. Their debut album, Clover/Coriander was a personal favorite of mine, so when I heard that they were playing a one-off show in the burg I had to check them out. And as I thought, I wasn’t disappointed at all. [...]
