Live Review: Beach House And Washed Out 5/6/10 Webster Hall
Beach House – the indie duo consisting of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally -- makes music that persuades the body to sway about with eyes shut and the mind loose to imagination. Seeing them live, no one could take their eyes off of Victoria Legrand, center stage and surrounded by shiny piñatas on their gorgeous [...] -
Hole Terminal 5 04/27/10
Hole Concert Checklist Crowd surfing? ✓ Yuppies reliving the 90’s? ✓ Moshing? ✓ Experiencing the legitimate fear of getting trampled by a crowd after getting hit in the face and hair pulled? Most definitely check ✓✓ Courtney Love doing something bat-shit crazy? … Surprisingly, not so much. Love, the front woman and only member left [...] -
Live Review: Imaad Wasif 4/25/2010 Bowery Ballroom
The infinitely talented Imaad Wasif played Bowery Ballroom this past Sunday night and brought along with him some nostalgia for hard rock from years gone by. He opened for fellow hard rockers Dead Meadow and blew through a spellbinding hour long set. Seasoned veterans (Vietnam?) Endless Boogie warmed up the mixed age crowd with a [...] -
Live Review: Twin Sister At Tortilla Factory 4/17/2010
Twin Sister played to packed crowd at Tortilla Factory in Bushwick this past Saturday night. There has been a lot of buzz surrounding their live show and they lived up to heightened expectations. Lead singer Andrea Estella showed grace under fire when an adorable dolt kept invading her personal space; he eventually bequeathed his hat [...] -
Live Review: Dum Dum Girls Webster Hall 04/03/10
The fecund-foursome known as Dum Dum Girls seems to be 2010′s answer to The Go-Go’s. After all, they deal in pert, short, down-strummed little ditties lasting no more than no more than 3 minutes and 30 seconds each that you can sing-along to no matter if you’re a contralto or a tenor, à la les [...] -
Live Review: Warpaint At Music Hall Of Williamsburg 03/03/10
Though they were Akron/Family’s opening act, the queenly quartet that is Warpaint played to a crowd of their own hard-won loyal subjects last Wednesday at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Evidence of this was the crust of barely legal teenage boys adhering to the front of the stage like barnacles hoping against hope that their favorite [...] -

Concert – Plastic Ono Band Show Tonight At BAM
Last night I went to the dress rehearsal for this show and may I say what a treat! Sonic Youth, Justin Bond, Scissor Sisters, and Klaus Voorman joined Sean and Yoko on stage performing renditions of Loco Yoko’s work. The line-up is even more impressive tonight! The highlight of the evening pour moi was Sean’s [...] -
The Vanguard “Both Sides”
Seeing a show at Pianos‘ upstairs room is like watching a band in your neighbor’s rec room -- except more dimly lit, you know, due to the lack of track lighting. That being said, The Vanguard was able to surmount inherent sound/ambiance issues at their Tuesday night show and delivered a most entertaining 40 minute [...] -
Live Review: Freelance Whales at Webster Hall 12/18/2009
Queens-based Freelance Whales opened for Fanfarlo this past Friday night at Webster Hall. The pairing of the two bands proved to be a nice fit as they both share a predilection for a varied assortment of acoustic/amped string instruments and too many musicians on stage. All joking aside, Freelance Whales delivered a beautiful set chock [...] -
Buzz: Popo – Ones To Watch
The scene: Around 1:00 am at Le Poisson Rouge following a questionable “performance” by an emcee turned opening act. Popo takes the stage benefiting from a bar set well low. But wait; they’re funny… and tall… and talented. Launching head first into their super fast power-chord heavy set, the crowd quickly congregates and warms to [...] -
Live Review: Sleigh Bells Le Poisson Rouge 11/19/2009
Originally posted on Hard Candy Music Sleigh Bells, the yet unsigned power duo that’s been generating loads of attention post CMJ, had at least two reasons to be blissfully happy this past Thursday: they played a raucous show at Le Poisson Rogue AND received an honorable mention from Rolling Stone’s Rock and Roll Daily blog [...] -
HARD CANDY MUSIC GUEST POST: Islands Live Review from Bowery Ballroom in NYC
Originally Posted on Hard Candy Music Photo by Alexandra Serio ISLANDS played a great show at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom this past Thursday replete with rhinestone-studded wardrobe and the cheeky showmanship that we have come to expect from Nick Thorburn.

Live Review: Juliette Lewis And The New Romantiques
The delightfully delectable Juliette Lewis on some Brit gab fest. Bitch is crazy/hot. God, I wanna smear that lipstick all over her face. <3 UPDATE: So I attended the Juliette Lewis and The New Romantiques show at The Fillmore Saturday night and was blown away by the sheer kinetic energy and unfathomable pace that Miss [...]
