I was gifted the opportunity to catch the second coming of the Napalm Death, Melvins tour package known as The Savage Imperial Death March Part II, but still sad I missed part I with Melt Banana. I love that band! The leg of the tour that I was able to partake in had Dark Sky Burial (Napalm’s Death’s bassist Shane Embury’s project), and Titan To Tachyons (featuring members of Imperial Triumphant) open Brooklyn’s recently renovated Warsaw theater.Continue reading

CONCERT REVIEW: Baroness – Dawn of Ouroborus Live at The Meadows, Brooklyn
I love that every couple of years. Baroness does a small venue tour, it feels more connected to their base, and there is nothing better than seeing one of your favorite bands in an intimate room, singing along with a packed crowd. If you were a fan of early Baroness, this was your tour to see them play both Red and Blue Album (both released on Release Records) front to back. Many songs and interludes have never been performed live before.

FESTIVAL REVIEW: Roadburn Festival 2024 Part 1 – Various Venues
Full disclosure there is in no way I can present an unbiased opinion about Roadburn. This is my seventh straight year and I’m gifted a much greater amount of privilege than the average attendee. I’ve earned lifelong friendships. It’s become more than just a music festival for me. It’s a second home for five days out of every year. I’m allowed to work alongside other extremely talented and hard-working photographers and for a limited time at the beginning of every set I’m granted the best spot in the house. For me music is my safe space vs photography which is my special interest.Continue reading
CONCERT REVIEW: ZOMBI – Overcalc Live at TV Eye
What an amazing show, so much so I was talking about it days later covering a fest. It was a simple one on a Wednesday night at TV Eye in Ridgewood Queens, with only two bands but Zombi played for a solid chunk of time that still left me wanting more. Continue reading
