Todd P Goes to Mexico
Brooklyn promoter Todd P, who is responsible for the shows that happen at Market Hotel, Monster Island Basement, and many others, is hoping to start a new tradition: A post-SXSW music festival in Monterrey, Mexico called MtyMx. After years of having a free show at Ms. Bea’s in Austin the day after SXSW ends, this year he’s bringing out all the stops. Aside from a cheap ($30 for 3 days!) music festival with 75 bands in a beautiful setting (an… More »
Pool Parties Not At The Pool
Grizzly Bear at All Points West 2008

Many hipsters are still mourning the “passing” of the free Jelly NYC Pool Parties at McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg. The free concerts in the empty pool were some of the best parties in the previous summers, with artists like Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Breeders, and Spank Rock playing free shows there. Unfortunately, the city decided to turn the pool back into an actual pool (ie fill it with water)… More »

Baltimore Round Robin: Feet Night
The second night of the Baltimore Round Robin at (le) Poisson Rouge took place on Saturday night and this time the theme was Feet Night. This meant that all the music was more rhythmic and generally dance-inducing. Somehow, this translated into moshing and crowd surfing. People were much more obnoxious at this show, trying to move to each stage that had a band playing on it for every song, which makes for a lot of pushing and shoving. People should… More »
Baltimore Round Robin: Eyes Night
On Friday night Dan Deacon curated a night of Baltimore musicians playing in a round robin at (le) Poisson Rouge. What does that mean? It means there were a bunch of stages set up around the perimeter of the room and the audience was in the middle. Each of the 13 bands would play one song in one location and then the next band would immediately follow with another song.
There were three rounds, meaning each band played three songs. It… More »
