PHOTOS / RECAP: Radiohead @ Prudential Center, Newark NJ, 6/1/2012
Radiohead completed their two evening run at the Prudential Center in New Jersey this past Friday evening. For me, it was a first. I had grown up only knowing a small bit of what they were all about through some friends and from what was aired on the radio but... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Dave Matthews Band @ Comcast Theatre, Hartford CT 5/25/12
Ever since I was a young(er) lady, one thing I could always rely on was that Dave Matthews and his band would come through my neck of the woods at least once sometime during the summer. This year they came to kick off not only the summer, but Memorial Day... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC 5/8/12
Earlier this month my girls and I made tracks to see the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros show at the Roseland Ballroom after a stellar sushi dinner for some random middle of the week music/birthday festivities! It was going to be a good night... The Roseland has had many... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: The Shins @ Wang Theatre, Boston MA 5/4/12
It was just over a decade ago that The Shins came into the limelight. In 2001, James Mercer and his bandmates (at the time) put out Oh, Inverted World. For me, I caught wind of the band in about 2003 and it took mere seconds before I fell in love... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: WU LYF @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC 4/21/12
It was Friday--thank God. A show I had been anxiously awaiting was finally around the corner. I had not a single clue what to expect from this young, elusive quad out of Manchester, England. In listening to their self-produced release Go Tell Fire To The Mountain, I wasn't sure if... more
PHOTOS / RECAP: Strangefolk @ State Theatre, Portland, ME 3/31/12
It was a few weeks ago now that I was driving up to Portland, Maine on a Strangefolk mission. And today as I sit here and write, I am still feeling the "high" of seeing one of my most favorite bands back together for the first time in over a... more
TONIGHT: WU LYF @ Bowery Ballroom 4/27/12
Straight from Manchester, England, the band WU LYF (World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) landed in the states earlier this month and opened their US Tour with a spot at Coachella. They made their stops in California, Washington DC and Philly. And last night they started a two night run in... more
RECAP: Dopapod @ The Main Pub, Manchester, CT 3/24/12
It was a beautiful Saturday in spring and Dopapod was in CT! Albany-born Timbre Coup was on stage as I waltzed (literally, I danced) into The Main Pub in Manchester, CT. Comprised of four strapping young lads who (according to their Facebook page) owe it all to "peanut butter... more
RECAP: Perpetual Groove @ The Middle East – Cambridge, MA 3.23.12
End of Friday came, and I was off to Boston for the evening with my girl for a little R&R and some live music! Not only was it about to be my first Perpetual Groove experience, but it will be my first time at The Middle East. The restaurant/club... more
CONCERT RECAP: moe. @ Electric Factory, Philly 3.9.12
As I sat in Holland Tunnel traffic for what felt like a lifetime, I turned to my partner and said "It's OK, baby...karma will make up for it by somehow getting them to play us a 30 minute REBUBULA!" I had stopped in Brooklyn to pick up some friends for... more
CONCERT RECAP: Conspirator @ Toad’s Place, New Haven, CT 3.1.12
Toad's Place twice in one week! This time around to see Cosmic Dust Bunnies and Jeff Bujak open up for Conspirator. I walked in just as Cosmic Dust Bunnies were loading out and Jeff Bujak was getting comfortable on stage. Jeff is a solo act out of Northampton, MA... more
CONCERT RECAP: Zach Deputy Band @ Toad’s Place, CT 2.28.12
The infamous Toad's Place in New Haven has been home to many amazing shows and artists since it started back in the mid-70s. This past Tuesday, February 28th, Turbine and The Zach Deputy Band were in the house. I had never seen either band before. In fact, it was the... more
REVIEW / PHOTOS: Marco Benevento Trio @ Main Pub, CT 2/23/12
The Main Pub in Manchester Connecticut has one of the weirdest shaped bars and horrible stage lighting around. Though, despite what some could see as flaws, they make up for it by hosting some of the finest live music in state. It was a whiskey kind of evening, there... more
PHOTOS / REVIEW: Dopapod @ Acoustic Cafe, Bridgeport, CT 2/22/12
It had been a long and tiring day, but not for a moment did I hesitate to venture down to Bridgeport to check out some good music. High five to Mother Nature! It was a beautiful and warm winter evening and I was able to leave my jacket in the... more
PHOTOS / REVIEW: Papadosio @ Arch Street Tavern, Hartford 2/8/12
Every time I seem to step into The Arch Street Tavern the music that Nectar's Presents puts on is always pretty damn good no matter to genre or the scene. pH Factor was on stage as I arrived to the club on Wednesday evening. They were laying down some pretty... more
REVIEW: moe. @ Terminal 5, NYC 11/26/11
It couldn't have been a more beautiful day on Manhattan. The sites of the holiday, the bustle of the shoppers, the smell of the Halal Food trucks on every corner and The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park all while wearing short sleeves--"forget about it!" Temperature had to be somewhere between... more
REVIEW / VIDEOS: Foo Fighters @ Madison Square Garden, NYC 11/13/11
