The last time I went to a show at the John Ryle House in Haledon, NJ, bayonets were discovered in the garage by a couple of people who had consumed an exorbitant amount of alcohol. Nobody died or was even (seriously) injured, but that's the sort of thing that would normally persuade me to never return. So why did I go back last night? Because Omegalith and Huge Pupils were playing.READ MORE

Continuing the long line of New Jersey basement venues with awesome names is Hologram City in Hackensack. Though most basement shows I've been to take place in the middle of quiet residential neighborhoods, complete with disgruntled neighbors who love calling the cops, Hologram City sits right at the corner of a busy intersection and even has its own (small) parking lot, which makes it a great location for a venue. The show I attended there last night was titled "Basement Maneuvers - An Electronic Evening," and as that name suggests, it was an evening of performances by electronic artists. Though I've been to plenty of shows featuring electronic artists, and have even played with some myself, I'd never been to an entirely electronic show before, so the atmosphere and flow of the evening was very new to me.READ MORE

Basement shows rarely ever run smoothly on a normal day, but having a show on Friday the 13th almost guarantees that nothing will go right. Despite the date, however, the show I attended last night at the John Ryle House in Haledon, NJ was one of the most efficient and pleasant basement shows I've ever been to. For starters, the show only started 25 minutes late, instead of the usual 90 minutes.READ MORE

After two music-filled days in the sun, Governors Ball Music Festival continued on for Day Three on Sunday (June 8). Temperatures were rising, but so was the enthusiasm from the crowd, who didn't let soaring temperatures and a beating, cruel sun dissuade them from getting down to some of music's biggest festival acts.READ MORE

The temperatures were rising and the music was pumping at Governors Ball 2014 Day Two on Saturday (June 7). After an electrifying Day One, which boasted sets from Outkast, Phoenix, Damon Albarn and more, the masses returned to Randall's Island once again, in order to get a glimpse of The Strokes live (among other acts).READ MORE

Though I've performed music in Jersey City before, I'd never gotten a true sense of the city's tight-knit art scene until I visited last night for a three-act show at the Dopeness, a Mexican restaurant with a performance space in the back room. As Steve Donahue of Young Legs described Jersey City to me, it's like "Brooklyn, but less smelly and terrifying." Ever since neighboring Hoboken became too stiflingly gentrified to support an arts community (its legendary venue Maxwell's closed last year), Jersey City has proven itself to be a worthy alternative for Hudson County, and all of North Jersey for that matter.READ MORE

Governors Ball is taking over New York City this weekend, with some of the biggest names in indie rock and hip-hop descending upon Radall's Island in the Big Apple. Day one was marked by big-name appearances from Outkast, Damon Albarn and Phoenix, who delivered feverishly enthusiastic sets among some perfect, 75 degree weather (unlike last year).READ MORE
