Last week, we gave major props to the Disco Biscuits for tapping quite an eclectic group of opener for their upcoming Bisco Inferno celebration at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. So, perhaps it should come as little of a surprise that the Philadelphia rockers went inanely insanely awesome for their annual outdoor music festival, aka Camp [...]
Glasvegas: the name looks good on a marquee. I immediately think, “Vegas, baby, Vegas!” and then, This is going to be fun. Three nights ago at Webster Hall, a dreary Monday felt like a Saturday as Glasvegas unleashed their brand of rousing rock on a packed house. New York crowds are famously shitty. I say [...]
