Things to do: NYC

Nicolai Dunger at the Mercury Lounge
Dunger was a Swedish national soccer player before he turned to a career in music. Kind of like what Jack Johnson did, except Dunger is Scandinavian and not as lame. Dunger is hit or miss for me, he plays a sort of bluesy indie pop. He’s toured and performed with […]

Depeche Mode add North American dates

Depeche Mode are currently in the middle of an extensive Eurotour that began last year. And in January they were confirmed as the headliner for day one of Coachella. Today they added a bunch of North American dates to their already crowded schedule.

Roger Waters to revisit the Dark Side

Big news! Roger Waters announced today on his website that he will be performing The Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety “somewhere in France, this summer.” He will be joined by former bandmate Nick Mason, the only member of Pink Floyd to perform on every one of the band’s albums. I’m sure this […]

Things to do: NYC

Since NYC has stuff to do so often, I’m going to start doing this pretty much daily. With that said, I’m sorry this entry is so late, but I promise to get future ones done by the early afternoon. At any rate, this is what’s happening in NYC:
The Czars at The Delancey -
This is one […]

Things to do: NOLA

I know a lot of you will be wandering the streets tonight, looking for something to do. There are a couple of decent choices. I must issue a warning, however. If you’re headed back to the west bank, expect traffic to be ridiculous all night. NOPD is closing all of the I-10 entrances near the […]

An extensive North American is expected to follow.The tour will be in support of their forthcoming, as of yet untitled, fifth album. […]

Belle & Sebastian and The New Pornographers start tour

This is probably one of the most anticipated tours on the radar right now and it begins tonight. I’m rather envious toward anyone who gets to see this. It’s going to be a great show and will definitely be on my “Things to do: NYC” next week.
Belle & Sebastian are touring in support of their […]

Reforging the Metal on VH1

Variety is reporting that the folks behind VH1’s Breaking Bonaduce have signed on to produce a show aimed returning the metal to the Las Vegas strip. The new series, Supergroup, began production of seven episodes this week and will premiere May 18th at 10pm.
Although not quite in the same league as supergroups such as Cream […]

Things to do: NYC

It’s Mardi Gras time in NOLA, but I don’t want you NYC crowd to feel neglected. You have great choices this weekend, as always. Granted your options are “indie” heavy, but they’re good options nonetheless:
Friday
Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Bowery Ballroom -
I don’t really need to explain this one to you all, do I? […]

Things to do: NOLA

Alright kids, listen up. It’s Mardi Gras. You know. Of course. But if you’re like most of the people whom I’ve spoken with, you have no idea what to do. Well after you finish whoring yourselves for plastic beads and other worthless trinkets at the parades, these are your options:
Friday
Davis Rogan at the Blue […]
