Top 5 shows of the weekend
Well it doesn’t quite feel like Spring yet but there I’m trying to bring a little optimism to the table this week. It’s nice to have had a few weeks where it’s still light out in the evening, summer concert announcements can’t be too far away and we’ve got metal, dance, pop, experimental and soul […]
The Brooklyn Brewery Beer Mansion is coming in April
The event is returning this year with music, food, and of course, beer from some of your favorite New York breweries. Tickets start at $65 and if you haven’t been to The Weylin (an event space inside the iconic Williamsburgh Savings Bank) check it out before it becomes the lobby of a condo. The Brooklyn […]
Club Crush: The Week’s Best Electronic Lineups
Well, that jerk Toby had me landlocked last week. Things I learned: you can make plans to go to Miami Music Week, but sometimes winter storms have other plans for you. Speaking of which, how the hell are we supposed to keep up with all of these fancy names for sh*t weather: Bomb Cyclone, Polar […]

Curtis Harding plays Bowery Ballroom on 3/30
When we saw Curtis Harding at Glasslands way back in 2014, I wondered how long it would be before he was playing larger venues, such as Bowery Ballroom, and that the man should be a superstar. It’s taken longer than I thought, but Curtis finally plays at Bowery on the 30th of March, the show […]
There’s a St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl coming to Grand Street
St. Patrick’s Day is on Saturday March 17 this year and here’s an event you can attend to avoid the green-beer swilling masses. You are probably already familiar with Grand Street Restaurant Week.

This One Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup
Prepping for a show this week, so a little strapped for time/energy/sanity. Apologies in advance. Now let’s talk new music.
This One Goes to Eleven: Weekly metal roundup
We’re now two months into 2018, and, from a metal perspective at least, it’s been a good one, with almost as many records in the past eight weeks connecting with me as there did all of last year. Thankfully that theme continues today, thanks in large part to…
