Photos by G. Little Barrie On February 6, 2012, Britain's Little Barrie performed a very intimate VIP only gig at Rose Bar in New York City. The hour long set was performed for the likes of music industry royalty such as Andy Roarke from The Smiths (and of course myself!)

Photos by G. Humpty Hump (aka Shock G aka Greg Jacobs) of Digital Underground I've loved rap group Digital Underground for 20 years! They played a concert at New York's BB King's on January 22, 2012 and I was there to catch all the action. Original members Shock G (aka Humpty Hump) and Money B brought the funk! Flowing as great today as they did back in the day, Digital Underground opened the show with "Packet Man" from their amazing debut "Sex Packets." Early on in the show, [...]

The Man's upcoming European tour and it rocked! If you are unfamiliar with their music, it's psychedelic pop/rock (think MGMT meets Of Montreal - with less meandering). Trippy lighting accompanied the music and early into the set, covers of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and Bowie's "All The Young Dudes" were [...]

Photos by G. Sarah McIntosh of The Good Natured Hot band alert! The UK electropop band The Good Natured visited New York's Mercury Lounge on January 15, 2012. I'd never heard any of their music until they took the stage and I liked every song I heard tonight in their 8 song set. Their music is upbeat and has a great groove. Lead singer Sarah McIntosh's voice reminded me of bits of Ladytron and LaRoux. The audience was loving the show as well, especially when Sarah McIntosh performed in [...]
