Meanwhile, it’s another somewhat snooze-worthy weekend.  There are a couple of shows but it’s pretty soft for what we expect from May (AKA one of the best months for ANYTHING in NYC). Get [...]

Sorry Carlos!<?php the_title(); ?>

SUNDAY CINCO DUH MAYO Alright! It’s time once again to watch where you step on the sidewalk! Cinco De Mayo is here and this time the green vomit will likely be from guacamole and not from the green novelty beer served on St. Paddy’s Day! Surprisingly I don’t see all that much stuff going on [...]

Armageddon Weekend<?php the_title(); ?>

It’s upon us! The summer glut of action has started early with an over the top weekend of all-outedness.  It’s definitely a buyer’s market for rock’n’roll as you’ll soon see from the myriad of happenings this weekend, with out of town bands and local bands returning from out of town; DJ nights and all kinds [...]
