Tour Dates

Smith Westerns’ upcoming album, Soft Will, will be coming out on June 25th via Mom + Pop. And to torture us while we await this glorious day, Smith Westerns has released a new track, “3am Spiritual”. It’s been a long and grueling wait since 2011′s Dye It Blonde but if “3am Spiritual” is of any…

Alas, the heat is beginning to hit New York and what a better way to cool off than with some Phosphorescent. Other than sounding like my third favorite element, Phosphorescent exudes nothing but metaphorical genius. “Song for Zula” is absolutely brilliant – a tale of the conscious awakening that love not only changes those it…

Foals truly know how to put on a show and entertain a sold out venue, which is exactly what they did last night at Terminal 5. In support of their newest album, Holy Fire, Foals were in New York City and completely took over. Their stage presence commanded everyone’s full attention and it was hard…

The universal sign, at least in American suburbia (I don’t know, I didn’t do that much research. I think I saw it on Blues Clues once), for a party is to tie a balloon to your mailbox. It’s an effortless and easily recognizable sign to let one’s guests know where the party is. It’s a…

“The great moments of your life won’t necessarily be the things that you do; they’ll also be the things that happen to you.” -Ted Mosby I’m a firm believer in the idea that what happens to us is all part of a plan: a plan that makes sure that we’re exactly where we’re supposed to…

You know what’s cool? Being able to put on a show despite having your equipment stolen out of your van hours before doors. But you know what’s even cooler? Finding out that Wild Cub have a Daytrotter session! And that folks is the sole factor that I judge a band on; not their musical ability…

Oberhofer have just released their new EP, NOTALGIA via Glassnote. It’s a five track EP full of the band’s signature indie pop goodness. The EP overall is great and it’s helping me cope with my oncoming finals. NOTALGIA is powerful and loud and everything you’d expect from Oberhofer. Tracklist: 01. You + Me (In The…

Relient K just released a lyric video for their new single, “Don’t Blink,” from their soon to be released and much awaited album, Collapsible Lung. It definitely sounds different from what we’re used to from Relient K but this band is known to experiment with their sound. And whatever the experimentation may be, Relient K…

Tuesday night at Bowery Ballroom was a night full of raw energy to say the least. The intensity that radiates off of Moon King as they perform is like lightning. Incredibly captivating, a bit startling, but a rush nonetheless. Moon King take their dream pop/shoegaze sound and elevate it when they perform live. The harmonies…

The equivalent of the ever mystifying, pulling a rabbit out of a hat for Brooklyn’s Ski Lodge is their impeccable ability to have all eyes on them when they perform. It’s a gift really, how they’re able to capture the attention of today’s ADHD generation. In today’s world, people often times watch TV while simultaneously…
