  2. Punk Rock Show @ Seattle’s Chop Suey Last night Chop Suey hosted a three-way display of underground punk rock, offering a varied presentation of the incarnations in the genre. All of the performing bands were born and bred in Seattle; emerging out of the garage and onto...
  3. Thank You Sensory Overload: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. at The Rock Shop Thursday was my first trip to The Rock Shop in Park Slope, and I started my night out in the sports-ish upstairs bar. It had a bustling feel to it despite the relatively small crowd there, and I treated myself...

  2. Emil & Friends and Others Make Cake Shop the Place to Be It was a great night for music at Cake Shop, a cozy little place on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. This small, dimly lit bar/café/venue presumably sells cake during the day, but on Friday night offered up one of...
  3. Cake Shop Does It Again, This Time With Valar Cake Shop is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to hear new bands in New York. My first experience with the venue was back in January, when I saw Emil & Friends, Ravens and Chimes and Old Monk, a night as...
