Hi there. A major THANK YOU to everybody that came out to Sunday’s amazing NEPTUNE concert. It was a huge success, and we appreciate your support! I’ve posted a few photos from the night over at our flickr, too. Happy 4th of July!

Hi there, sorry for that mini-hiatus for a minute there but we’re back! Visit our flickr for photos Rachel took of the awesome Mouthus / Axolotl / Mirabile Dictu show that happened on Monday night. I snapped a few, but haven’t had a chance to upload them, so stay tuned. Thanks to everyone for making […]

Head over to our interviews section for the complete story on artist Todd McGrain, whose “Lost Birds” sculptures are currently on view at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester. We’re also going to load exclusive photo galleries by Rachel Philipson, who got some fantastic shots of McGrain in his home studio. From Wylie’s story:
The smooth, […]

We just uploaded a ton more photos to our flickr and photo page! Check out our photo albums from the recent Sic Alps show at No Radio with Mirabile Dictu; the recent House of Alchemy Records show with Stone Baby, Antique Brothers, Century Plants, Sleepwalker Local 242, and Mirabile Dictu; and last Sunday’s Yo La […]

I finally uploaded photos from another epic weekend of live music — Friday was the enormously fun Bill Nace + Harrius [they’re 50% based in Baltimore, so Jess Harvell is a fan! Read his review here] + Burnt Hills show over at the Flipped Out Records headquarters in Albany. A major thank you to them […]

Sorry for lack of posting. I decided Friday would be a good time to start this show, and then my weekend disappeared. Funny how that happens. I did get some photos from Friday’s No Radio show, though. Thanks to the folks over at Ithaca Underground for making this happen, and thanks to Entente Cordiale and […]

Last Saturday, guitarist Eugene Chadbourne and percussionist Jimmy Carl Black played at the Chapter House to an enthusiastic crowd. Earlier last week, I had the privilege of interviewing Chadbourne, who, for the last 40 years, has played with the likes of Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Carla Bley and so many more. In the early 90s, […]

Here are some of my favorite photos from the latest Ithaca Experimental show. There was a good turnout and great vibes, and I think it was one of the best IE performances to date. Differance Engine opened, followed by a dynamic, fun set from Rochester trio NPV. The night ended with an improv piece by […]

Here are some of my favorite photos from the White Rabbits/The National concert that was held on the Cornell Arts Quad on Saturday, August 25. This first one of National singer Matt Berninger is pretty dramatic — it was literally minutes before an epic, torrential rainstorm chased everyone away. I love the color of the […]

We’ve recently returned from an exhausting, exhilarating weekend in Brooklyn and Brattleboro, Vermont. I’ve uploaded tons of photos from our weekend romp, including a few dim shots of the mellow Zaimph + Sunroof + Prurient show on Thursday at Issue Project Room (view them here), the fantastic Richard Serra retrospective at MOMA (view those here), […]

In the last day or so, we’ve uploaded a crazy amount of photos to our Flickr page. Some of them are pretty old — January’s Winter Ends Destruction, this spring’s Gladtree Festival and No Fun Fest — and some of them are brand spanking new (Area C + Eyes Like Saucers + Mirabile Dictu last […]

The photos are up from last night’s final Fanclub Collective show of the school year. Brightblack Morning Light was disappointing, but entirely what I expected (read the previous post for my thoughts, but my partner aptly noted that it sounded like “Hippie music for Low fans”). Daniel Higgs, however, was infinitely more interesting last night […]
