J Mascis @ Racket NYC 02/13/25
Seeing J Mascis in a small club has always felt like a privilege, but this solo acoustic set at Racket NYC carried a deeper sense of history. For me, it closed a long personal loop. I was one of the lucky few who saw—and photographed—Mascis perform his very first-ever live acoustic show at CBGB in the early ’90s, a performance that […]
The Warning @ Palladium Times Square 07/18/25
On July 18, 2025, The Warning delivered a commanding, sold-out performance at Palladium Times Square, turning the midtown venue into a tightly packed, high-energy mass of sound and movement. From the photo pit, the intensity was constant, and the connection between band and audience never wavered. The night opened strongly with Speed of Light, whose sharp, no-frills rock set […]
STAIND at Jones Beach Theatre 09/19/24
Seeing Staind at Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theatre was a little different than a typical shed show. This stage quite literally sits in the bay, with the salt air rolling in as the sun drops over Long Island. It’s a beautiful, uniquely New York setting—and on this night, it came with a twist. By […]

At Irving Plaza on Wednesday night, Filter hit the stage like they were the main attraction—and by the end of their set, you couldn’t blame anyone in the room for thinking they were.

Michael Monroe at Racket NYC – Apr 2, 2025
In a city known for devouring legends and spitting out imitators, Michael Monroereturned to New York not as a relic, but as a riot. On a spring night at Racket NYC, the iconic Finnish glam punk frontman—once the heart and soul of Hanoi Rocks—lit up the tiny Chelsea club with a performance that felt less like a concert […]
LS Dunes @ Brooklyn Paramount 10/22/24
LS Dunes took the stage at the Brooklyn Paramount on October 22, 2024, as the second band on the bill, following Spiritual Cramp and leading into headliners Rise Against. Sitting in that middle slot can be tricky, but LS Dunes came out swinging, delivering a short, sharp set that felt anything but transitional. From the first note, they played with the […]
Sammy Rae & The Friend – 11/09/24
The November 9, 2024 show by Sammy Rae & The Friends at Terminal 5 felt less like a standard concert and more like a full-scale celebration that never let up. Terminal 5, with its cavernous warehouse layout, high ceilings, and wraparound balconies, can sometimes feel cold or impersonal, but when it’s packed with the right crowd it turns into […]
