Tuesday was a day that felt like it had 100 hours. That Austrian lunch with Leyya, wasn’t it a week ago? That’s SXSW, so do more things on a day than usually in a week and still miss most of the festival. We’re still lagging on seeing live music, but[…]
Coming from the North East Coast, experiencing a few days of early spring in Texas has almost as much allure as the some 2,000 we can see here at SXSW. The Austin weather doesn’t make it easy though: we were greeted with chilly wind albeit under a glorious blue sky.[…]
To start off the new year with a bang, we invited back RYAL, who had headlined our very first show back in fall 2016. They are now a duo (plus a live keyboarder) and came to support their excellent new electronic album “Silver And Gold” (Apple Music | Spotify). Also[…]
For us at glamglare 2017 went out with a bang, thanks to five amazing acts who agreed to play our holiday showcase at The Delancey on December 8. Opening the night was Marie Lang, who we met at SXSW 2016 and who is going solo now, on stage accompanied by[…]
Ever since we saw New Jersey darlings Dentist playing Muchmore’s for Northside Festival 2016, we wanted to see the melodic garage/grunge rockers again, and were especially psyched when the trio agreed to play our November show. We loved them even more this time around and hope they will be seen[…]
The New York duo Me Not You of Nikki Taylor and Eric Zeiler arose from the pop trio Little Daylight with a brand of synth pop that is more glitter and heavier on guitars. That makes them a good fit for electronic music legend Gary Numan whom they opened for[…]
Great music alone doesn’t make a great show and a great venue like Brooklyn’s Alphaville certainly helps yet it is great performers who ensure a fantastic experience. In short, Argonaut & Wasp were freakin’ awesome when they played Alphaville BK to an appreciative audience of friends and old and new[…]
About a year ago Dream Wife, a trio from Iceland and the U.K., was maybe my most exciting discovery at Iceland Airwaves. We couldn’t make it to Reykjavík this year, but Rakel (vocals), Alice (guitar) and Bella (bass) came over to Brooklyn for a one off show at Baby’s All Right. If anything, their show became even wilder and had a special moment, when singer Rakel asked the women in the audience to “take their space” in the front rows. Then they performed “Somebody”, a song that resonates strongly with the current news: “You were a cute girl standing backstage // It was bound to happen.”
In October, we went all indie-electronic, probably our first show focused on this genre only. Those in attendance were in for a treat as these acts tend to make themselves rare and keep their live performances sparse. Opening the evening, and being the most ‘pop’ was MAJO convincing with her[…]
When we recently asked High Waisted about their favorite decade in our Q&A feature, Jessica Dye (vocals, guitar) answered: “The 1970s in London so I could be best friends with Viv Albertine, Chrissie Hynde and Vivienne Westwood and shop at Sex. I’d play punk rock and wear Dr Martens and[…]
