Rachel BrodskyReviewsWhy?: 26 September 2009 - New YorkYoni Wolf entertained by dancing oddly about the stage and at times speaking to the audience about random things, things which perhaps only Wolf himself fully understood. [20 October 2009] Dungen:14 August 2009 - Brooklyn, NYDungen’s demeanor is the anti-rock star. Their onstage smiles, gratitude and grace are what sifts and separates Dungen from the pile of Zeppelin wannabes. [21 September 2009] Siren Music Festival: 18 July 2009 - Coney Island, NYIf you can get past the heat, claustrophobic audiences and remember to wear comfy shoes, then Siren can be a pleasurable experience from start to finish. [18 August 2009] Ida Maria: 12 June 2009 - New YorkIda Maria is a pop singer who is happy to get her hands dirty. [22 July 2009] Speakers Series: Karl Rove vs. James Carville: 26 May 2009 - New YorkAs the debate wore on, the questions grew more prodding, the responses fiercer (complete with finger pointing), and the audience more aggravated than ever. [6 July 2009] An Horse: 18 April 2009 - New YorkAn Horse stayed consistent with what their debut album advertised: Melodic and hook ridden indie pop music with a heaping helping of heartstrings being tugged. [19 May 2009] Cryptacize: 1 April 2009 - New YorkI had to wonder if Cryptacize suffers from the musical version of the classic bridesmaid syndrome: Always the opener, never the headliner. [14 May 2009] Akron/FamilyPerhaps the most meaningful aspect of an Akron/Family performance, and what makes them most memorable as a band in general, is the incredible willingness to involve, and be involved. [30 April 2009] MorrisseyAppearing in a crisp new shirt every 30 minutes, Morrissey pulled off an impeccably entertaining set. [24 April 2009] The Black LipsThe Black Lips played solidly, chaotically, but sadly, a bit robotically. [9 April 2009] Ida Maria"I just wonder New York… have you got room for me?!" yelled Ida Maria into the microphone. [29 January 2009] |
