We decided to head to Magnetic Field for their last Saturday night show before they close. Dagger God — aka Goes Cube, fresh of a SXSW-centerpieced tour — were playing and it’s always great to see a band play when they’ve just returned from tour because they’re usually playing as tight as they ever have [...]

We recently caught a band at Union Hall called Wintersleep who hail from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Now, we’ve never been to Halifax, but if Wintersleep is indicative of what we might expect to find there in terms of a music scene, we are totally interested in checking it out. These guys sounded great — a [...]

Gold Streets is a a band we’ve seen and heard many times now. And on Friday, at Brooklyn’s Union Hall, they were especially in top form. There was something about the sound at the venue that night that particularly showcased their rather broad, impressive dynamic range — just as capable of playing hard and forceful [...]

After the Jump is headed to SXSW for the first time ever with four outrageous shows, including our very own official showcase (not bad for an organization under a year old huh?).
Each show has some incredible tricks up its sleeve, so if you are headed to Austin, don’t miss out!

The Electric Mess brought their retro sound to the stage at The Delancey for the March Hot Rocks Party. They played an incredibly tight set that really got the night off to a fun start. Here are some photos, with more available on Flickr:

The Electric Mess’ next show is April 11th at Crash Mansion.
The next [...]

Abigail Warchild plays straight-ahead, heavy-hitting rock. There’s perhaps a certain grungy edge to their music, but they’re no early nineties Seattle kickback. They’re doing their own thing and they’re doing it extremely well. They put on one hell of a live show at last weekend’s Hot Rocks Party at The Delancey. Here are some photos, [...]

Mancino poked their collective head out of their practice space to play at The Delancey last Tuesday. On tap were some of our favorites, as well as a few new ones that we enjoyed quite a lot and look forward to hearing again. Here are some photos of the band, with more available on Flickr:
