60 NYC Showspaces That Closed in the 2010s

New York wouldn't be New York without its creative community. And yet, even with this long-standing cultural identity, it's incredibly difficult to open an event space with all the required licenses and permits. On top of this, New York's rate of gentrification prices out venues and show-goers,...

LIVE REVIEWYonatan Gat, PC Worship @ Mercury Lounge

SHOW REVIEWJacco Gardner at Death By Audio

There was a brief period of time when some friends of mine were trying to get me to move to Chapel Hill, NC.

SHOW REVIEWEric Copeland and U.S. Girls

As a founding member of Black Dice, Eric Copeland has been melting my face for years. I'd seen them live a handful of times in the early- and mid-aughts and had fond memories of sweaty thrashing and abused cilia. I was overjoyed when they were announced as openers for Animal Collective's Celebrate...
