Getting to Know...Scott Seskind

Scott Seskind may very well be the undiscovered Bob Dylan. The independent folk musician carries a reservoir of talent and amazing songs that have gone unnoticed for some time. Seskind creates a powerful sound that tells the stories of life's indecision, and builds a wall against corruption like Dylan's protest songs. Scott Seskind uses intense, repeating guitar chords along with his dense

Cd Review: "Waking Up" OneRepublic

OneRepublic - Waking Up - Interscope Records Let's get this out of the way right from the start – sophomore slump? OneRepublic? Uh, no. It doesn't take but a few minutes of their latest, Waking Up, to show these guys have gotten better and are far from done. It's a hell of a lot more engrossing of a record, taking a page from recent work of Eye Alaska more than anything these guys have done in

Contest: Latenight Weeknight Records Prize Pack

Happy depression, electronic doom painted over with shimmering vocal layers and symphonic guitar tones - this is Brim Liski. Complexly self-described as electrogaze dreamhop, painted over with shimmering vocal layers and symphonic guitar tones. Dark, limitless night music perfect for driving down an endless moon drenched highway. Comprised of various producer conspirators in the US and The

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour @ the Tribeca Grand, 11/14

So uncool, and so delightful. Walking into a party where there's barely a line, with a ticket that's free with RSVP, to dance for an hour until a band best-known in American for soundtracking an iPod commercial starts their show, the night is 100% set up to be a careless corporate showcase. So it's surreal when a truly well crafted DJ set and glamorous dance party start to have that bumping

Written by: Vanessa Machir and Stephanie GortonAt famed Joe's Pub in New York, something strange and wonderful happens once a month: the Happy Ending Music and Reading Series. Curated by novelist Amanda Stern, it features several published authors reading from their works, one musical guest, a peculiar set of rules, and a theme to tie it all together (this one was Crisis and

Radio Happy Hour @ (Le) Poisson Rouge, NYC, 11/14

How to make a variety show for adults? When you're tired of half-baked cabarets that take you back to bad college theater, Radio Happy Hour is a giant boon. Sam Osterhout and the team behind this unpredictable show have nailed it: last week's guests--Chuck Klosterman with Craig Finn and Tad Kubler of The Hold Steady--were not only real performers, they were articulate and game for anything, even
