Photo by G. Photo from Mermaid Day Parade One of the most fun New York events of the year is the Mermaid Day Parade which commences on the Saturday of the first weekend of summer in Coney Island.  Due to rising costs, it's in danger of being canceled so they've launched a Kickstarter campaign.  Here's the full message, so please help if you can! Dear Friends of the Mermaid Parade :I have two important announcements for you today: [...]

Photo by G. Johnny Marr and Geoffrey Dicker Johnny Marr!  The man who is responsible for all the great and iconic guitar licks you hear in the music of The Smiths is in New York this week promoting his really awesome solo record "The Messenger."  Johnny Marr's list of accomplishments doesn't stop there as he was also a member of Electronic (featuring New Order's lead singer Bernard Sumner), The Cribs, The The and Modest Mouse.  He was also awarded NME's Godlike Genius Award earlier in 2013 [...]

Photo by G. Talk as Dirty as You Want and I Will Do the Same A-mother fuckin-men!  This is a rule I live my life by and to those who cannot take it or try and censor me, go fuck yourselves!  If you think I mean you any harm, you don't know me AT ALL! [...]

All Built To Spill songs exist on a continuum between two poles: snappy, twee-inflected pop songs and vast, mind-altering classic rock soundscapes. I've never been to Idaho, but I can't help wondering if this reflects the topography there, the concrete quadrants of a busy Boise business district giving way to resplendent unmarred mountain ranges and infinite sky.

Photo by Erykah Badu! Erykah Badu and Geoffrey Dicker I can't even begin to explain how much I love Erykah Badu.  When you go to one of her shows, it's less of a concert and more like a soulful religious experience.  Whether she's telling amazing stories in between songs, schooling the audience to the spiritual side of life, or just singing different and funky versions of her great songs (and she never disappoints in that area), you will leave her shows feeling lighter and wishing that [...]

Photos and words by Debi Del Grande Having heard only positive things about METZ' show at The Echo back in November, I had to see this Toronto trio in action. Luckily, they were playing The Troubadour, along with White Lung and Mrs. Magician. Kicking off the evening, I always enjoy San Diego's Mrs. Magician. Tight, solid, and ready to bust out. Now when the punk band White Lung took the stage, I was immediately prepared for some moshing - or moving - something . They earned it. Lead singer Mish Way was [...]

Whether exploring the impact of natural phenomenon, the nature of man, or midlife crisis situations, photographer and teacher Pawel Fabjanski creates postmodern work with a twist. The award-winning Polish artist effectively uses color, shape and space to command the viewer’s attention. He also has a knack for creating seemingly simple still shots that subsequently highlight a more complex narrative through the calculated placement of specific details. Intense colors and symbolic locations are key in collections that denote darker themes, as are costumes and sculptures that add drama to existential scenes. Intense and commanding, it’s editorial photography with an [...]

Having previously rocked The Echo and tearing off the roof at the Stereogum Range Life party , METZ returned to the Troubadour with another heap of sledgehammer guitars, earthshaking drums, and skull-numbing bass. Rounding out the noisy bill was the raucous spitfire anthems of White Lung and reverb soaked garage rock of Mrs. Magician. Check out the photos in the gallery above and the setlist below.
