Creative Digital Music’s 5 Year Anniversary Party: Zuzuka Poderosa, David Last, & Ganucheau
Friday, December 11th, 2009

Last week I attended the music geek party of the season.  Ganucheau’s set was a super trippy ride that soothed the soul.  A perfect intro to the baile funk beats that Zuzuka Poderosa followed with backed by DJ David Last.
She’s got another party tonight at Le Poisson Rouge that is sure to be epic.  Come [...]

Zuzuka Poderosa + DJ Supervixen
Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I don’t speak Portuguese which makes it slightly difficult to write a review on these two Brazilian bombshell musicians.  That and the fact that I am in no way a music journalist.  But I’ve seen the crowds these two bring out in their respective urban audiences that span across two hemispheres.  Zuzuka, who happens to [...]

Fefe Dobson Is Back, Baby
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Fefe is back and this time around with a sharper edge.  Between her leather pants and multiple chains, she’s clearly got “rocker chick” in her blood.  Check out the photo shoot and interview we did over at Honeymag — it’s doubtful you’ll be disappointed.  These fotos were taken at her performance at Mercury Lounge.  The [...]

Day 3 of All Points West: Lykke Li, Coldplay, & MGMT
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

First of all, I just have to say that I’m glad I was warned about the mud.  After 3 days of people tramping around the soggy park the place was destroyed, but my handy rain boots kept me (mostly) clean and dry.  I was not one of the brave souls to really get dirty — [...]

ER Lands in the ER (c/o Honeymag)
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Basically these dope girls got NO PROMO for their debut album.  Tsk tsk to the PR gurus.  Check out the full story on Honeymag.com (and more media to come throughout the week).
Any any rate, this is quite possibly my favorite project that I have worked on to date.  Naughty pin up girls?  Ohhhhh yes.

Gretchen Parlato @ 55 Bar
Monday, May 18th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago a friend of a friend invited me to photograph the lovely and talented (pitch-perfect voice that flows like water) Gretchen Parlato at 55 bar in the west village.  Now the last time I visited this bar I was in college and therefore drunk.  At the time I had no idea [...]

Kelley Bostwick: Rockstar in the Making
Thursday, December 25th, 2008

Yesterday morning my cousin, Kelley, and I did a shoot out in the snow with her guitar.  She’s one of the hosts for a radio show at her school and needed some photos to submit for the next semester.  It was a quick and easy shoot since the girl is gorgeous and, once she started [...]

A $1200 Lesson: Learning to Practice What I Preach
Thursday, August 28th, 2008

A while ago I read this book.  Now I’m reading this book which has led me to listen to this song on repeat (as I will so often do when I need something to really sink in).  And if you head on over to the Wikipedia page for that song and scroll down to Legacy, [...]

Ebony Bones
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

This was the opening act for Yo La Tengo at the last McCarren Park Pool Party of the summer.  They were certainly entertaining to watch, but the sound coming out of the speakers wasn’t too good and it was hard to understand what exactly was going on.  But they definitely had some good drum beats.  [...]

As the summer ends, the Brooklynites listen.
Monday, August 25th, 2008

Yesterday I went to the last McCarren Park Pool Party of the summer.  The first two bands were a little strange, but Yo La Tengo pretty much rocked my world (as a first time listener).  You can definitely tell a professional band from amateur by the quality of sound that comes out of the mikes.  [...]
