Trick or Treat?
… it all depends on where you spend your alco-dollars this weekend. Here’s some tips to keep the Rock in Rocktober without as much “ween” in Halloween:
TONIGHT (aka bookers’ nightmare):
Manhattan:
Cake Shop: Freddy and the Jasons (“supergroup” featuring various Beets, German Measles, Honey-Dos etc), Lover! from Memphis and Bass Drum of Death (from [...]
LoveStruck, The Othermen and My Happy Gunconjure the spirit of Lux Interiorthrough human sacrifice (and music).
All of the PR guys are gone. All of the label guys are gone. All of the hipster tourists are gone. All related signs of the Apocalypse have abated. And apparently most of the bands are taking [...]
Yep, it’s full on CMJ time. Bands are rushing around town, shelling out dollars hard won from construction jobs, trust funds and unemployment checks just to get to a venue you’ve never heard of at 7:30 sharp to play to 5 NYU volunteers who think rock’n’roll is pretty darn passe.
I think I can speak [...]
The Angel Sluts play two more shows in town this week.
Yeah, it’s CMJ week, but does that really change anything? Believe it or not, connections are not just for sellouts and poseurs. Some of your (and our) favorite bands have connections and can get a gig or two this week. Go out and support them!

Congratulations to GPNYC’s Charles Gaskins for marrying Masha P this weekend!

Whooping Crane covers Sweet at Otto’s this Wednesday.
Last week was crazy, next week is CMJ. In between… we’re all sleeping in? This week is extra dead. Dead, buried, forgotten, disinterred and stood up in a museum. A good week to think about your Halloween costume.
If we hear about anything else, we will definitely update [...]
the Pierced Arrows return to New York!Hope you’ve cooled off since last week’s blitz of overbooked madness. This week we’ve got a more typical number of choices but you still might find yourself hopping back and forth madly.
Note to the Williamsburg Set– the L train is running from 8th Ave to Lorimer St and [...]
Human Eye are in town for two shows this week.Photo by “MotorCityRocks”.
It wasn’t so long ago that I was complaining about how boring Monday was. No more! Monday is the new Wednesday, whereas Wednesday is the new black and black is the new lolcat.
Monday
This is your last chance to see The Choke for a long [...]
the SHAYDES return Saturday!Well it’s a bit chilly out there but check the weather forecast and you’ll find warmer temperatures and our old friend from Summer, RAIN, stoppin’ by tomorrow. Should be nice on Sunday though so maybe it will be yet another great day for the Atlantic Antic fest in Brooklyn.
WAY too much [...]
