Tobacco, Soundpool, Sunglasses, Telephoned @ Glasslands 6/2/10
Last night was the 4th anniversary party for music marketing company Musebox, and they took the opportunity to throw themselves a party with, oddly, no one on their roster performing. Instead it was Telephoned, Sunglasses, Soundpool and Tobacco with free 24 oz cans of PBR and one of the more diverse crowds I’d yet seen [...]
Tecla Album Release Party @ Ella 5/28/10
Vintage Circus by TECLA Tecla in just a few months has grown as a performer. From somewhat awkward vocalist with keyboard and Mac book to a woman in control of her craft and audience, able to make us dance and laugh and sing and forget the heat of a tiny cramped basement Friday night felt [...]
The Golden Filter @ The Mercury Lounge 5/14/10
This past Friday, The Mercury Lounge turned into the Mercury Disco as two bands known for driving dance provided blessed out sounds for the button down crowd that had assembled that night. New York’s The Golden Filter was in to help celebrate the late April release of their first album Voluspa giving us a taste [...]
The Netherlands @ The Charleston – 5/13/10
God DAMN I love The Netherlands. Timo Ellis (Joan As Police Woman, Cibo Matto) singing and JAPA on drums with a rotating bass element make dark scary sexy fun surreal funny psychedelic thrash at doom metal speeds that suddenly explode with guitar lines that give punk bands a run for their money. Using more effects [...]
LAST YEAR’S MODEL – Human 2.0 Release Party
Recently Last Year’s Model evolved past us puny mortals and decided to have a party showing off their shiny new carapaces for a night of friends, family and what they called Human 2.0. I saw Last Year’s Model for the first time a few months ago, when they opened for Hadouken and they really impressed [...]

Nuclear Power Pants, Height With Friends, ArpLine, The Dreebs @ Death By Audio 4/22/10
Check out Edwina Hay’s shots from the night here When I lived in DC, I was utterly bored by the local scene. It was more people who were chasing stuff which was popular within the indie mainstream or teenagers chasing after the 1980s Hardcore acting more as museum curators. There were certainly bright points here [...]
Ava Luna, Air Waves, Your Nature @ Union Pool 4/20/10
I say “White boy soul”, you say “Justin Timberlake.” I say “White Boy R&B” You say “Color Me Badd.” I glare at you, think for a minute and say “NuSoul Artlectro; Talking Heads meets Erol Alkan meets Stax records meets a whole bunch of bullshit terms I just came up with to try and explain [...]
Tecla, The Peeps @ The House of Yes 4/15/10
Last Thursday, we headed to the House of Yes in East Williamsburg to show support in a fundraiser for their House of Yes Music Studio. As the artist’s space already hosts Skybox, a huge aerial training facility and Make Fun, a fabric workshop for costumers and designers, the addition a music studio seems like a [...]
