One of my favorite bands from college, Metric, preformed at the Hammerstein earlier this year. It's hard to believe they've been together for over 15 years and still making amazing hits. Front woman, Emily Haines can rock a leather outfit like no other and has a set of pipes to match! :)

Rockwood Music Hall-THIS IS NOT THE RADIO /
Sunday night, I found myself sitting in a basement exploding with talent. A music showcase at Rockwood Music Hall has begun every third Sunday of the month, and has to be better than any full-price, big box office artist (but then again I AM a fan of intimate venues.) One after another, each artist was better than the next. The talent, heart, and the soul of each artist resonated so deeply...with such ease and relaxation extending from their pipes.
The event is put on by THIS IS NOT THE RADIO, which is a community of performance artists and musicians coming together to share their art and finding support in a city where it's a struggle for even the finest of artists to get noticed and stage time. Tonight, I got to see THE MOTS NOUVEAUX, LINDSEY LUFF, and AKIE BERMISS
My personal sweet spot is for the MOTS, I may even consider myself a groupie. And who wouldn't.... with front woman EMMA FITZPATRICK, key pounding AARON BEAUMONT, and background vocals from AMANDA WALLACE, this LA group ventured cross-country to build their following on the east coast...and my... are we lucky to have them:) A little rag-time, a little sultry cabaret, mixed with catchy pop hooks, you're likely to fall in love in a moment's time....
THE MOTS NOUVEAUX
Here's a jam from back west....CALIFORNIA
...still not enough? You can catch them at SIDEWALK CAFE on Friday nights!!! (This Friday at 10:30pm)
LINDSEY LUFF
I've always had a soft spot for truthful song-writing, paired with a melodic piano. Throw in a guitar with a beat-ful bass and the trio's complete! THAT VOICE!!!!
AKIE BERMISS
The OTHER piano man....This guy kills it with his playing technique and a voice to match. Bonus points...ending on his personal rendition of "Still the One" by Miss Shania.
FLUME CONCERT /
Looking forward to this upcoming concert at Terminal 5, FLUME on July 18th!!! A.K.A Harley Edward Streten[, this Australian is known for electronic and instrumental beats and has one of the few albums I've been able to listen from start to finish and actually LIKE every song. In today's world of music and one hit tracks, I say, "Bravo Flume!"
