Cool It Down

As New York’s finest junkies once sang, you better cool it down– and that’s exactly what we’ll do this weekend with a short break from the intolerable 90′s.  The hottest July on record has put a damper on a couple of shows this Summer– and ruined many a vintage t-shirt with unbelievably colorful pit stains.  [...]

Delis: Good for Subs, Bad for Music

Need a good laugh? Who doesn’t!  Here’s something for you– local New York publication Deli “oh wait, it still exists?” Magazine apparently has a Chart for the most popular Garage/Punk/Soul/Revival/Etc bands in NYC. There are 93 bands charted including bands we’ve written about in the past such as LoveStruck, the Rats, the Back C.C.’s and [...]

I’ve got some new gigs to tell you about and [...]

Wait, Wednesday? I’m Confused…

We’re not sure what’s going on, but let’s put it this way: the weekend simply didn’t end when it was supposed to this time.  On this past Monday night there was a rager of such classic proportions at Don Pedro, half the attending crowd ‘forgot’ to go to work the next day. The few who [...]
