Do These Bands Fux Live?

Thought I was there for Cochemea, but turned out MAE.SUN came with the ol' Jazzle Dazzle. The openers kept us pumping up, if not slightly exhausted, while the only things not 4/4 were the time signatures.

First show of the New Year live from New York: Calypso did not miss his 1/1 shot. Keep playing Brooklyn, and lets put the CHish neighborhood on the map.

What better way to close out one more year of rocking NYC than on a 3.67*/5 catfish? Missed you Mr. Rev.

A relatively subdued night at TP for my second fill of Pynkie who was inexplicably getting married to her keyboardist. While she could do much better, she couldnt have done much better on her 4/4.5 slammer jammer dimanche.

Back2Back and back to the Paramount for another all out bangfest. Bumped some ugglies in the pit while Silverstein emoed all over US hardcore style. Only went down once that I pulled out of like I was breaking to the beat. 4.5/5 rages on.

Wanted to end the year with a bang, so why not start with the sensational Miss Gritt playing solo at the Sultan Room. She glazed us good while hammering the right notes for the 3.25/3.5 experience. Left with a signed vinyl for the wall of fame.

Even if we cant have nice things, we at least have a place to get down and dirty. Still again, way too many tall people and couples who stand in the front for the entire show in order to hype themselves up for their bland post-concert activities. Real passion is letting other people enjoy the show from the front. Still 4/5.

Had to ditch Casette after the opener cause the vibes werent ride, hightailing it to Purgatory just in time to sneak in for Spirit Ghost. Still too many asshole couples who will do anything to get in your way, but have a child. 3.5/4.5 change up night.

Back in NYC and back in 101. Was not expecting much from this late aughts band that first came on my radar nearly exactly 3 years ago with their single Albatross (which they played), but they certainly blew the doors wide open. 3.75/4 would rush out on a Wednesday. Not sure what's up with these aquatic band names.

Though Deep Sea Diver had been a bucketlist band for a while, unfortunately you really gotta check if there is a new album out. Still she at least captivated with a "You Go Running" and up-and-comers Coral Grief werent bad neither. 3/5
