Rock n ROFL

Man in Gray gave a powerful performance at Pianos last night (June 18, 2008). It was the NYC band's second-to-last show ever, and their penchant for noise was a nice contrast to the more listener-friendly sounds of the Futureheads who came on after them...

I didn't make it to the Bowery Ballroom show two nights ago, so last night's more intimate show at Pianos was the first time I had seen The Futureheads live in a while...

I really couldn't be happier with how awesome the comedy portions of the Brooklyn Vegan and Klaus Kinski Present Rock 'n ROFL shows at Pianos have been going...

well sorta.... I thought that The War on Drugs' performance at our Rock n ROFL party at Pianos earlier this month was pretty good, but I'm reserving judgement until I ACTUALLY see The War on Drugs live because, for whatever reason, they only played as a two-piece that night and I'm not even sure that the second guy is nor...

As a person who gets pretty agitated when a schedule starts to fall apart before my very eyes, the fact that the Channel 101 show was running 45 minutes behind schedule had me wound pretty tight...

My comedy dream came true last night at Pianos (May 5, 2008). Klaus and I hosted our third music & comedy show called Rock n ROFL. The early show (the Channel 101 thing) ran way late, so we had to start an hour later than we thought we could start...
