Asy and Chloe, the sisters who form electronic pop duo Chaos Chaos, came on stage at Knitting Factory dressed rather for Catholic boarding school than for a rock gig, but put on a fierce and wild show in deed. It starts with Chloe, who bangs alternatively the drums or a[…]
Shadow Monster is Gillian Visco, a singer/songwriter based in Brooklyn. We loved her song “Out of my Mind”, a melodic rock ballad, so we didn’t want to miss her Northside showcase at the tiny stage of Pete’s Candy Store. There she played a quieter set solo, just on the electric[…]
A man. His voice. His guitar. His pedals. And his brother on drums. JEFF the Brotherhood, one of Northside Festival‘s internationally known headliners, got things cooking on Friday night at Music Hall of Williamsburg. As to be expected, the show was as good as sold out and song, after song, the[…]
This was the second show by Blak Emoji, the new project by songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey Warren and I liked it as much as the first show they put on at Pianos earlier this year. Maybe I loved it a little more because this time Blak Emoji played at the renowned Knitting Factory[…]

Finally it was the day of our showcase at Knitting Factory, which we put together with our sister blog Audiofemme. Even without Painted Zeros, who had to cancel due to illness, we could present an exciting lineup, who many came out to see! First up were Blak Emoji, who effortlessly[…]
Day 2 started with a Jameson-sponsored happy hour at Zablozki’s with good drinks and surprisingly good food. There we met members of Bent Denim, who provided a song pick last year and Lantrns, our first show of the year. From there we went to the big event of the day:[…]
Finally! The Northside Festival, Brooklyn’s far more intimate and relaxed version of SXSW has started. Aside from short ways between the events, we also enjoy that the action takes place in some of our favorite venues. Our second living room, Union Pool, for example, where we kicked off the festival[…]
