Makes my heart feel like it’s doing jumping jacks on a frosty morning. The tortuously pleasurable feeling you get when the icy daggers first hit your lungs is this:
Abel Korzeniowski It’s rare, more rare than a unicorn, for music to turn me on like this, but oh, when it does, it coerces a part of me that’s been dormant out from the cave, that dark, obsessive side of [...] You know how I love live music and art in all it’s various forms.
Red Light Cinema
Check them out here (Myspace) and here (Facebook). Think musical styling the 90′s and Maroon 5. The sax and strings are a nice touch, but overall, their sound is a bit dated, and I’m [...] I forgot to mention, RogueRanters, that a band I’ve been listening to for quite awhile now has recently caught on out here; is actually playing at Webster Hall. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I don’t know how much you all might’ve paid for your tickets, something like $22? Hate to break the bad news, but don’t exactly expect greatness. Have seen ‘em, and when they’re good, they’re A-MAZING. When they’re bad (which [...]
Hello Pretty Birds, Won’t be posting (outside of this today), but I promise to come back tomorrow full force. So here’s a list of excuses, because I know there will be a barage of emails and comments about me not posting today, most of all, not posting the new artists I promised and album review I promised. You want to “knife me?“ Excuse 1: I decided to let [...] RogueRanters, meet Colin Smith. Back in early June, I had the pleasure of watching his set down at Rockwood Music Hall. While lyrically, some of his songs wreak of that overplayed coffee, sex, and cigarettes, blah, blah, blah, take your pills dear sentimentality, I’m pretty sure I’m probably the only person who feels that way about them. No one else, including the gaggle of females I was sitting next to, seemed to mind very much. Even I didn’t mind very much, which is saying something, because I am oh-so-jaded. His vocals are refreshing, refreshing in that “almost-haunted” sort of way. They’re so refreshing I decided to film a clip. Watch the clip and appreciate the synergy between instruments and vocals, because at a super small, super-packed venue like Rockwood, it’s pretty damn hard not to have one always overpowering the other. (That place is packed like sardines, no joke.) It helps that he had a three week residency there to acclimate, but still, I was impressed. (On the night I visited, Rockwood had actually asked him back, so it was after his official residency had ended.) And after you’ve checked out the clip above and decided if he’s your style, check out his Myspace, his website, and follow him on Twitter. Then, if he floats your boat, throw on your skankiest hippy outfit, head down to Rockwood on the Lower East Side tonight, and duh, become a groupie already. Because after watching him, I seriously have to wonder why isn’t more famous.
And let’s be real, RogueRanters, what could possibly be hotter in MusicLand than an artist who is just on the cusp of something really big? Absolutely nothing. Enjoy!
*If you’re in the city tonight, he (solo) and his band, MrNorth are playing a double-header at Rockwood Stage 2 at 9:30 PM.
