About Me

My favorite way to relax is to head to NYC and take in some great local bands at the many venues at the Lower East Side. I just grab my trusty camera and do quick write ups of the shows I go to. There is an abundance of great music and underrated bands that deserve to be heard by many! Here's a link to my long existing blog on AOL:

Blonde Redhead at McCarren Park Pool

When I got to McCarren Park for Sunday's BLONDE REDHEAD show, the line to get in wrapping around the venue was scary big!  I could hear raucous music coming from inside, which I would later learn...

The Octopus Project at McCarren Park Pool
