Wa-Wa-Woo-wah! One of those weekends. Spring’s bustin’ out all over the place and so is the rock action. Of course, we’ll be talking about the outrageous two day festival of rock’n’roll happening on the Jersey Coast this weekend, Power Pop a Licious, but there’s plenty to do up here in NYC in case you can’t [...]
The Wooly Mammoth Emerges from the Wrong Side of his Icy Tomb
Love means never having to say “you terrify me”. Can you feel it, the thaw? Can you hear it, winter’s retreat? Oh yeah, March on, wayward sons and daughters.

If You Slap Me on Wednesday I’ll Cry on Thursday
Yo, I heard they was givin’ some free PBR’s, Yo. Hi. My name is Oweinama. You may know me as Captain Heartlock, DJ and multi-instrumentalist in some bands of some sorts.

We have finally recovered!

Stress release time.

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… [...]
You cannot read this blog.
A friend of mine tells me that GaragePunkNYC is blocked by the web filtering software at his workplace due to “sexual content”. Yes, really. Personally, I blame Shimmy’s profile photo. For those of you who have all of the necessary permissions and permits to read this blog, hello! I cannot tell you what the weather [...]
Short Week
Hooray for short week! In honor of the 4th of July (which is our nation’s wedding anniversary or bat mitzvah or something) many of us have Friday off from work. We will celebrate our nation’s history by getting bombed on a Thursday. Also, according to our calendar there’s nothing on Monday. Nada. Not even the [...]
