Checked out electronic producer Bonobo‘s show the other night at Webster and was quite impressed.

Concert: @KatyPerry At Roseland Ballroom
Had a chance to check out Katy Perry on Monday at Roseland for the launch of Windows 7 Mobile phone. I had high expectations going into the show and she did not let down. She worked the crowd like a rock show, candy dancers and all. She played all her hits plus a classic, “Your So Gay.” […]
Concert Review: Luisa Maita (@luisamaita) at SOBs
Brazilian singer-songwriter Luisa Maita made her debut North American performance this past Wednesday, November 3rd at SoHo’s famous SOBs (Sounds of Brazil) and the word of the night was “subtle”. She took the stage with three musicians – a guitarist, bassist, and drummer – which, at first glance, seemed a bit bare. The sheer volume […]

CMJ Day 3: Blood Red Shoes (@bloodredshoes)

CMJ Day 3: Apache Beat (@apachebeat)
Apache Beat was another act I wanted to see and they didn’t let down. These prog rockers hail from Brooklyn and are like the psychedelic version of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Definitely check out their debut LP, Last Chants. enjoY! [nggallery id=29] Apache Beat – Another Day
CMJ Day 2: Holy Ghost! (@HolyGhostNYC)
The last stop was NYC’s Holy Ghost! I missed them when they played at Summer Stage this year, but not this time. This DFA signed band put on a dance party that had the whole crowd moving. Bravo Holy Ghost!, it is one dancing good time (minus the one annoying drunk chick in the front). […]
CMJ Day 2: The Knocks (@theKnockz)
Next was to Bowery Ballroom for the late show with The Knocks. This was their very first performance as a live ensemble and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to start it off. You had go-go dancers on both sides of the stage with a huge ass lighted sign that reads, The Knocks, glaring at […]
CMJ Day 2: The Drums (@thedrumsforever)
The Drums I was excited for. I had heard good things about them. Their front man was a real character as well. He sang the songs from with a lot of feeling, not to mention was very spritely on stage. These indie rockers are on the verge of breaking out. [nggallery id=27] The Drums – […]
CMJ Day 2: Surfer Blood (@surferblood)
Next was Surfer Blood who apparently were playing two shows last night . The band’s surf rock vibe and animated frontman sounded pretty good on stage. To be honest never really cared for them before, but after seeing this show im beginning to feel them some more. More tunes can be found on their debut […]
CMJ Day 2: The Dewars
Then we headed over to the Drums and Surfer Blood Show. The first band we caught was The Dewars. The band, led by twins, weaved their way through some experimental rock tunes that were a little off the beaten path. As they played on I slowly began enjoy their show. I’ll check them out further. […]
CMJ Day 2: Marnie Stern (@marniestern)
The final act of the Terrorbird showcase was an artist that I had never head of before called Marnie Stern. Everyone was really excited to see her play, the place was packed from front to back. Next we hear a crunchy guitar being finger tapped and everyone starts to gets excited. BAM, we are hit […]
CMJ Day 2: Baths (@BATHSmusic)
Next on the Terrorbird showcase was LA beat maker, Baths. This guy had the crowd moving with his chopped and mixed beats. That guy can twist knobs. Check out more of his music on debut his LP, Cerulean. [nggallery id=23] Baths – Lovely Bloodflow
CMJ Day2: Revolver (@Revolverfrench)
First up was the Terrorbird Showcase that was going on all day at the Cake Shop. French 3 piece folk rock band, Revolver, was the first band I saw. Their acoustic ballads with 3 part harmonies and an upright bass made these classically trained musicians a pretty good find. Check out more tunes on their recently release […]
