Dour Festival: DAY #1

4pm.
I circle around looking for parking C while the 5 stages of Dour Festival are already filled with music lovers from all over the world.
First steps in what they call “La Plaine” (The Field) and two things directly come up to my mind: “it’s hot!” and “cute girls everywhere”!
I run and try to catch the [...]

Cold War Kids Playing in the Dark

New York, 3rd of April.
I’m not gonna lie: I was excited to see Cold War Kids for the first time live. I got to the venue at around 9pm, waited a couple minutes for my +1 and got inside.
For some reason Cold War Kids decided to play a really early show. They showed up on [...]

Ra Ra Riot: Better Than Ever

New York, April 5th.
About 5 months after their show at Music Hall of Williamsburg/Bowery Ballroom, Ra Ra Riot took it to another level and played the prestigious Webster Hall. Nothing in the world would have made me miss that show!
I got to Webster Hall at around 8pm and the venue was PACKED. I’ve seen Webster [...]

Interview With Underoath: Who Would Jesus Vote For?

Underoath has become, in only 8 years, the most successful band of it’s kind; touring the best venues of the world and selling hundred of thousands of records. I met Grant when they played “Terminal 5″ last October.
It was one of the last warm days of the year, the trees were staring to lose their [...]

Metallica @ Nassau Coliseum - The Myth Is Real.

It was a regular thursday evening at Penn Station, I jumped in the Long Island Railroad heading to Hempsted. I sat down, exhausted from my rush through Manhattan to catch the train on time. I looked around, curious, as it was my first time heading to Long Island for something that didn’t involve white sand [...]

Brooklyn, New York - I left my apartment and 2 subways later I was at the doors of Union Hall, a small venue in Brooklyn (Park Slope). I went downstairs looking after their tour manager but I ended up talking to the band directly. Emil, the singer, wanted to chill out a little bit before [...]

Funeral For A Friend - The Welsh Band is Back in NYC

9.30pm, Union Square, January 22: it was my birthday, and it was freezing. I tried to warm my hands up: I tangled them up with my scarf, but it didn’t really work out. Two blocks, two blocks and I was there, but those two blocks just felt like 10 avenues.
I got there 10 minutes later [...]
