Photo via Brooklyn Vegan by David Andrako Due to the propensity that Brooklyn has for flash rainstorms, I was late to the show, which infuriated me. A monsoon erupted right around the time I got off work, and I managed to get caught in it not once, but twice. But, I was going to see… Continue reading Band of Horses @ House of Vans

[Abby’s Road] Right about now…
The time has come my friends. The last of summer’s sweaty days…back to school. The air is cooling down, the musty fragrance of decaying leaves is on the breeze: it’s autumn tour time. The most wonderful time of the year. Lalala. It happens every early August. I ramble to a friend “wow, it’s been so… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Right about now…
Sweetlife Festival 2012 – The Recap
The Sweetlife Festival was a memorable day of great music and great grilled cheese. And, when it comes down to it, aren’t those two things what life is really all about? I’m going to break this recap down into two parts, first reviewing the performances at the Treehouse Stage, and then talking about the headliners… Continue reading Sweetlife Festival 2012 – The Recap
exfm and Knox Road Present: The Wooden Sky, Warm Weather, Port St. Willow & Time Travelers May 11 @ Pianos
The rumors are true! Even if you haven’t heard them! On May 11, we are teaming up with exfm for a night of vivid sounds and fierce emotion, all going down at Pianos in good ol’ NYC. This is Knox Road’s first-ever show, so I don’t think I need to say how excited we are.… Continue reading exfm and Knox Road Present: The Wooden Sky, Warm Weather, Port St. Willow & Time Travelers May 11 @ Pianos
Jonquil & Keep Shelly in Athens (but mostly Jonquil) @ Glasslands
By superstar contributor Caitlin White [photo by Tom | GoldFlakePaint] It seems that everything Hugo Manuel touches turns to gold. From Chad Valley to Jonquil, I am head over heels for this man’s voice, in its myriad of forms. Manuel switches effortlessly between a soft lullabye vocal and the lovable British yell singing that still… Continue reading Jonquil & Keep Shelly in Athens (but mostly Jonquil) @ Glasslands
Hanging out with Pearl and the Beard
Gracing the cover of Pearl and the Beard’s excellent second album, Killing The Darlings, is a sweater made for three people. While this seems like merely a cute, simple way of pointing out that the band has three members, it is actually a completely definitive representation of the trio. Pearl And The Beard is truly… Continue reading Hanging out with Pearl and the Beard

Jump Into The Gospel – “Photovoltaic” [MP3] If you’re in NYC for the Summer, Jump Into The Gospel is playing… Continue reading [MP3] Jump Into The Gospel: “Photovoltaic”
[Hype Hype Hooray] Why I Hate All You Dumb Big City Concert-Goers
Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. Oh, you’re so lucky. Yeah, I’m looking at you… Continue reading [Hype Hype Hooray] Why I Hate All You Dumb Big City Concert-Goers
Kate Miller-Heidke @ 9:30 Club
I really didn’t want to enjoy Kate Miller-Heidke‘s 45-minute set last night in Washington, D.C. My other concert reviews on this site have been full of praise and I wanted to write a scathing review; certainly the Australian’s quirky pop, which I had only limited exposure to prior to the show, couldn’t win me over. I… Continue reading Kate Miller-Heidke @ 9:30 Club
