Our Akudama friends keep churning ’em out – they haven’t once flaked on the whole monthly free EP thing yet. Impressive stuff. Also, they’re starting to add more shows to their bill (Pianos in NYC Sept. 8, 15, and 22 + Boston’s Middle East Upstairs this Thursday, 8/6) and are gaining increasing popularity. Here’s to… Continue reading Akudama drops free August EP, “Barbershop”

Gets the Girl. Because music is involved, of course.
Gets the Girl, a duo based in NY, is a bold band name in these days of quippy hipster critique, putting their credibility on the edge a bit too early. But I applaud the sincerity, as it’s truly an accurate portrayal of what the guys are aiming for. Per their MySpace: The music of Gets… Continue reading Gets the Girl.

Akudama drops free July EP, Sun
The New York crew is at it again with their monthly free EPs, and they’ve managed to show improvement on each one (which is difficult because I loved the first effort I heard), establishing even further chemistry. This one mirrors the time of its release, as “Sun (From Underneath The Lake)” is a shimmery tune… Continue reading Akudama drops free July EP, Sun

‘Dark Was The Night’ at Radio City Music Hall
Why does it seem like only now, with just a week before the show, is promotion occuring for Dark Was The Night at Radio City Music Hall? I’ve seen advertisements (posters/flyers) all over downtown, yet I hadn’t seen anything less than a week ago. Can someone tell me what’s up? In case you haven’t heard,… Continue reading ‘Dark Was The Night’ at Radio City Music Hall
I hope you’re not reading this
I’m sure every person on the East Coast has twittered, changed their facebook status, and blogged about this crazy (in a good way) heat, but if you are reading this post, you shouldn’t be (and I shouldn’t be writing it, wtf?) Unless it’s to get some music for your iPod to be outside in the… Continue reading I hope you’re not reading this
The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
Funny stuff happens on facebook. You stalk people, you tell everyone who doesn’t care about what you’re doing, and sometimes you even find new music! While perusing (nothing more, I swear) the profile of a friend last week (thanks Lauren!) I found a comment on her wall from someone named Sarah Tracey, mentioning her first… Continue reading The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
