Do These Bands Fux Live?

Blind Pilot
Bowery

As suspected, not only was this my first time listening to this band, it was my first time seeing a show in the Ballroom meaning I was really going in Blind Pilot. Despite flying Han Solo, the spirit of friendship abounded, though the show lacked hardcore. P.S. Always have to stop by my favorite bar to have a Manhattan when I come through (lower) Manhattan.

Starting off the new year with a strong dedication to friends and music. Victor V Gurbo was heart-stopping despite opening, Phil, as usual, gave 'is all, while Sylvania closed things down from behind the harpsichord that can play loudly and softly.

Sometimes you just gotta go to a show even though you know the show will be a no go and you'll end up going home early to avoid the snow.

So not sure what APAP stands for, but if its awesome poppin' authentic pulsations, id have to agree. We arriba'd our way through 4 incredible bands (Top-Left, CW: Yeison Landero, Chicha Libre, Miramar, Crema Paraiso) leaving us with nothing but hapless grins and some sweet vinyls to spin 🪗🎸🥁🪕

What better way to kiss goodbye to a year of 50+ shows across the country than one final blowout for the ages at NYC's new pop up high school auditorium club? When even the cover band is making you feel it ya know it's something special, though WFYE not going on until the 32nd was a bit of a disappointment, 2024/2025 auld lang sighs.

First time at the $35/table Zinc Jazz Bar, but when Mama's in town gotta show her a good time. Well a good time we had bouncing along to Tosca's Cuban groove for all of an hour, proving once again Jazz must be live to jive to Take 4.25/5

I guess that's why they call it a rap show. Also plugged his vodka ("we're workin'") but due to poor brand integration I cant figure out what it was. 4/5

Cant go to the great Northeast without checking out one of the Reinier City's hot venues filled with equally hot co-eds. Fazerdaze was there to amaze but only had time for a 30 minute 2.75/3 hypnotic displayz, while Pond was playing 4.25/5 raucus performance to an exactly appropriately sized crowd.

Second time, long time, but well worth the weight. After years of wondering when the wonders from Canada would come and they did not disappoint. I watched from the front to the back being equally enthralled by their 4/4.5 performance. Tokyo Police Club screwed up the lineup and went on after 1.5/2
