The Outer Edges

Back before the Thanksgiving holiday Galactic made a swing through both the New York and D.C. areas in sucsessive weekends. Seeing as how I bombed out on catching them in my own backyard, I jumped at the chance to make the road trip down to Washington with some friends to see them play at […]

This past Monday night I got introduced to the new Nokia Theater in Times Square as I ventured out to catch Jamiroquai in action. Great show, great music, great venue (even if it’s branded up the wazoo). Great pictures? I’ll let you all be the judge of that.

Semi-regular contributor Bready dropped off some pics from this past Sunday’s Wood Brothers show over at Satalla. For those of you who don’t know, the band features Chris Wood of MMW fame, though the music has a much more bluegrass feel to it.

One more show at CBGB’s under my belt before they head off and one more band I never thought I’d get to see live off my list. Hard rocking vets Helmet packed the dingey little bar and proceeded to lay out their A game for all to hear. Seeing as how I was […]

Back on Saturday, September 24th there was a kick ass show at the Bowery ballroom featuring live jm trance masters The New Deal.I forget who was opening that night (though I know I wasn’t fond of their stuff) and the band was late arriving becasue they got stuck in traffic, but they made up for […]

With CMJ is full swing, there are far too many good shows out there to avoid seeing something new. Such was the case for me Wednesday night at Irving Plaza. Opening act Esthero was decent enough, but the real deal was the Brazilian Girls, who’s music was as hot as the outfit of […]

Kind of a head trip the first time someone you know puts together a show. Such was the case with BrooklynVegan’s pre-CMJ bash (also lovingly refered to the BMJ’s). A nice night of music from the likes of Dave Deporis, Doveman and Cloud Cult, with the occasional sprinkling of standup from Aziz Ansari […]

Some might say that my camera lens has seen enough of the Benevento Russo Duo for one calendar year (this being the 4th or 5th time), and to that I say hogwash. Besides, a bad camera angle and a lacadasical work ethic at the show means that there’s almost an even amount of Duo […]

Lots of running around on the second day of Camp Bisco IV for yours truly. Pictures of Lynch, Turkey Bouillon Mafia, John Brown’s Body, Benevento Russo Duo and Umphrey’s McGee included in the post.

A full front half of Friday meant I didn’t show up to Camp Bisco IV until well into the proceedings, but the party runs quite late with these freaks. Pics of the Disco Biscuits, Conspirator and The New Deal inside the post.
