Gold Child is the musical project of Emily Fehler, a New York-based singer/songwriter who delights with her beautifully bright and soft vocals, poetic lyrics and a musical style that is very much her own. We came across Gold Child for CMJ 2015 and have been fans ever since. While Gold Child[…]
Listening through the Northside Festival 2017 showcasing bands, I didn’t come far at first because… Big Bliss got my full attention and their debut EP “Keep Near” on heavy repeat despite wanting to make it through the entire list of bands. This Brooklyn-based three piece creates incredibly gorgeous shoegazey guitar[…]
Brooklyn singer/songwriter Gillian Visco goes by the stage name Shadow Monster and she plays her latest single “City in My Sailboat” to an audience of monsters, albeit cute stuffed ones. The video shows an intimate setting that moves from the meta-level of recording a live performance in an apartment to[…]
Girl Skin is a Brooklyn band, led by singer/songwriter Sid Simons and multi-instrumentalist Bailey Blu, plus Sophie Cozine (vocals) and Alex Harwood (bass) and we were more than excited that we hosted their second show ever.

Writing songs, recording them, selecting the best and bundle them into an EP is no small feat. Hence, celebrating the debut of such an EP deserves a proper environment and Brooklyn-based indie-pop artist SHEARE found this perfectly in Williamsburg’s La Esquina. What a wonderful time we had! The space was intimate enough to[…]
Indie rock night at The Delancey: four local acts brought exciting and fresh music as well as a good dose of glamour to the party. First up was the debut show of Mars Motel, the new project of Twin Wave guitarist Sarik Kumar who also takes on vocal duties. Mars Motel play[…]
“HumDrum” immediately captivates with its charming and essentially super catchy melody, the soft vocals and its minimalistic instrumentation. This is a colorful and gorgeous video, with someone in it who can sing AND dance, no wonder because the artist who goes by Ekurtis exchanged his ballet dancing career with making music. If Ekurtis[…]
