VHS or Beta @ The Blender Theater – 16.11.2007
November 16th, 2007. Throngs of New Yorkers braved the November chill outside The Blender Theater at Gramercy for what they hoped would be a heavy handed, floor-heaving infusion of Kentucky dance-punk. Luckily, VHS or Beta was there to deliver.

VHS or Beta/Moving Units: Confirmed
My credentials just came through for the VHS or Beta/Moving Units with Soft show at the Blender Theater at Gramercy. Call me an 80s throw-back sucker, but I love basically anything new wave. I distinctly remember walking into the Virgin Megastore in Union Square, pulling up to the listening booth where Night on Fire was [...]

On November 3rd, Grizzly Bear brought their year-and-a-half long tour home the the Wordless Music Series at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. The show was, in a word, breathtaking. After composer Michael Harrison spellbound the audience with his performance on piano, the Brooklyn-based quintet played a long set of tracks from Yellow House [...]

CMJ07 Tigers and Monkeys @ Luna Lounge – 16.10.2007
The highlight of my first official day of CMJ07, was the New York based indie-rock quintet Tigers and Monkeys. At the time, it had been a while since I had seen a female-fronted indie band that rocked as hard as T&M. It had been even longer since I’d seen an indie band whose lead singer [...]

CMJ07 – The Hollow Sound @ Luna Lounge 16.10.2007
An artist from my hometown remarked to me, that it can be somewhat of a shock for an unsigned act to leave their hometown, where they regularly fill clubs, to play a gig in NYC, were they have no fan-base. I don’t think it’s too harsh to say that the first song played by Massachusetts [...]

CMJ07 – Breaking Laces @ Luna Lounge – 16.10.2007
To be honest, I approached CMJ this year with little interest or excitement. This turned out to be a good thing (for the most part) because it meant that (A) I wasn’t going to stand in the rain for two hours to only to find out that I wasn’t getting into Webster Hall and (B) [...]
