I haven’t seen John Fogerty since 1986 up at the Finger Lakes Performing Center right about at this time of year. Back then, he wasn’t doing any [...]

Stress release time.

It is just me or has this month been really stressful? I don’t just mean work and personal life stuff, I mean the music has been extra loud and crazy. The Brimstones yesterday, the show at Don Pedro the Saturday before, the show at Don Pedro the Saturday before that, the last few Jadewalkers shows… [...]

Dancin’ in the Rain!

Here we go again– seems like this ‘Summer’ has made us more of a weather service than a blog as of late. With Tropical Storm Danny approaching the coast of NYC, the rain is only going to increase from now until Sunday so it’s “Stormy Weather” all the time all the time! That said, plenty [...]

This Week’s Specials

It’s the hottest month of the year. Hell, it’s probably the hottest week of the year right now. Get the feeling there’s somethin’ cooking, and it’s you? Now, it’s easy to get lazy and hang out at home when it’s hot enough outside to make your flask boil over. Resist that temptation… and please enjoy [...]

Willy Nilly Weekend!

Banned from Facebook: this Saturday’s Hullabaloo!Just over a month to go of official Summer time, kiddies– and even less of real Summer (if you call this Summer, and I don’t)… You can make the most of it this weekend with a whole bunch of new and interesting happenings in at least two boroughs of New [...]

Let’s be honest, sleep is fuckin’ awesome.

The picture above is amazingly similar to what I actually look like most Sunday mornings. Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard to pitch these shows. It’s music, right? Who doesn’t like that? And if you didn’t like this particular type of music (or want to see your band’s name mentioned outside of your [...]
