I’m borrowing a turn of phrase from Mike Edison for this week’s blog post: Top Secret Action. You’d have to read his book to figure it out completely, but let’s just say that it’s a good thing (even Martha Stewart thinks so)… and something you might find if you hit the right party. There’s a [...]
Go, Go, Go-Go!
OK! it’s on! No more slow weekends from here on out. Instead, incredibly over-booked weekends packed with too many options to count (just try it). TONIGHT (FRIDAY): Maybe a mellow start to your night with an acoustic Georgiana Starlington at Williamsburg’s Live with Animals gallery (and some other groops we don’t know) $6–OR–A rude awakening [...]
And so it begins…
The holiday season cometh… you know what that means. Past-their-prime bands dishing out ill-advised Christmas covers; whole groups on stage in baggy Santa outfits; Facebook event invites with terrible holiday puns– you know the deal.

It’s raining PR men! Hallelujah?
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 [...]

At night there ain’t no Sun, but surely there’ll be some Fun.
What a week for dancing and, well, uh, mostly just dancing… Yeah, it should finally be Summer this week, or at least that’s what the weatherman says. But whatcha gonna do once you’re done baking yourself? Unless you like to hit the beaches of New York while the Sun is busy lighting up Zimbabwe, you’d [...]
Easter. It’s Over.
But that’s no reason to stop having fun, right? Monday is not a valid excuse for not partying. Oh no, not this week boys and girls! Cake Shop will go nuts when garage-rock lepus Nobunny takes the stage. He/it will be joined by Berkeley’s finest garage rockers Rock N’ Roll Adventure Kids, punk-slop legends LiveFastDie [...]
CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY!

So much so, this post is only going to cover Tuesday through Thursday action! First off tonight we have [...]
