NEW MUSIC: Cusi Coyllur – Woke Up from a Lazy Dream

After her intense track “amivulnerable” Shannen Roberts aka Cusi Coyllur strikes a lighter note. Musically, that is. At a closer look “Woke Up from a Lazy Dream” is a wild ride through different states of mind of a panic attack. Shannen explains: It never feels like I’m in control of[…]

SONG PICK: Newmen – Electric Eel / Humanin

PHOTOS: Statues of Liberty Live at Arlene’s Grocery

It started out very romantic, how we happen to know about Statues of Liberty and became avid fans in the process: in the summer of 2007, we were invited to celebrate the wedding of a friend in Upstate New York. Said friend, a musician, married another musician and the festivities[…]
