Top 5 shows of the weekend

Greetings! The weather is looking fine this weekend and if you’re looking for something to do outside of a show (shock horror!), I’d recommend going to the Vendy Awards on Governors Island. The annual event brings together some of the best street vendors the city has to offer and is for a good cause, raising money […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend

Apologies for the brief break, the World Cup really proved to be far too exciting. Though speaking of breaks, I’m actually in Edinburgh to see my first favourite band this weekend, but for those of you still in our own great city, here are the best options!

We return to our regular schedule after last weekend’s Northside Festival. Happy weekend everybody! It’s a truly wonderful day… and that’s probably only because England just beat Wales in the European Championships… as a result, this entry will be brief, but it’s all about the quality of the acts anyway!

What it's like to see your favorite band from high school (if that band is Iron Maiden)

April 1, 2016 By Coleman Bentley

My girlfriend had been laughing at me for three days. “I have never seen you this excited about anything in the entire time I’ve known you,” she said. And she was probably right. I was seeing Iron Maiden. High-school-me’s capital-B Band. Live. For the first time. At Madison Square Garden. I attend somewhere between 30 […]

This One Goes To Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

March 25, 2016 By Coleman Bentley

More sickening news from the world at large this week. I love metal. My guess is you do too. But as we approach one of the 2016’s first serious AOTY contenders –and one not without its own ethical complications–let’s try to keep all this in perspective. We aren’t saving or taking lives here. We are […]

February 19, 2016 By Coleman Bentley

Following a work-related foray to frigid northern strongholds of Boston last week, today marks an unofficial return to regularly scheduled programming. Let’s metal.

This One Goes To Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

June 23, 2015 By Coleman Bentley

After a brief deviation from the script last week, This One Goes To Eleven returns to regularly scheduled programming today with yet another batch of soul-crushing, life-affirming heavy. Needless to say, don’t touch that dial.

Who had the better MSG show?

April 4, 2011 By Matt Flint

I’m pretty sure it means something that the two huge-ass shows that took place this weekend were indie bands playing at Madison Square Goddamn Garden. So who do you think had the more “we’re rock stars and y’all know it” show? The Strokes featuring Elvis Costello? Or LCD Soundsystem? The answer to this is probably […]
