This is the project of singer/guitarist Vincent Cacchione, along with his sister Talya on bass, Patrick Curry on drums, and Magali Francoise on synth and awkward dance moves.

  1. This past weekend: MS MR and Xylos at Glasslands MS MR is somewhat of a mysterious new band. They seem to have just emerged from the Internet, using the most random web images they could find in their media, and labeling themselves as “Tumblr Glitch Pop, Soul Fuzz, Electroshock”...
  2. Crystal Fighters Tear Down The Echoplex Tuesday night marked my second venture to a Check Yo Ponytail 2 event, and just like my first experience, the night included energetic, electronic, dance-inducing acts, with Crystal Fighters as the headliner. Before this show, I honestly did not know...
  3. Album Review: Japandroids, Celebration Rock This has been weird year for music. Rap is pretty much dead and this hybrid of hip-hop and pop has formed. Indie rock is more mainstream than what used to be alternative, which is now pretty much dead as well....

  1. Night of the Living Grave Babies at Death by Audio I’ve never been bored at a Death by Audio show, and last night was no different. Perpetual Ritual, Grave Babies, Ganglians, and Xray Eyeballs all played great sets. These were all bands I had not seen live yet, and I...
  2. Casiokids Have The Right Stuff! When I looked at Filter Magazine’s Culture Collide lineup- I was pretty amped on most of it, and I did a little happy dance (literally- their music makes you happy dance) when I saw Casiokids included amidst several other great...
  3. Tonight: Kurt Vile opens for J Mascis at Music Hall of Williamsburg Tonight at 9pm, the Music Hall of Williamsburg as a great lineup: Kurt Vile and The Violators, followed by J Mascis. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, this show sold out a few days ago, but if you managed to grab tickets,...

There was music just about everywhere, spilling into the street from bars, some people literally playing on a street corner (not part of Northside, but street bands always pop up during festivals), and some
