Upcoming Shows: Marina V, Jump Into The Gospel & More


New York area friends and folks in general, it's time for another upcoming shows alert.

Saturday, September 11, A Million Years will be at The Studio at Webster Hall. Doors are at 8PM and tix are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

Monday, September 13, Russian songbird Marina V will be in New York! She'll be on the LES at Rockwood Music Hall. It's a FREE gig so you have no excuses not to swing by, say hi to her and her musical partner Nick (they're just the sweetest) and hear some good music. Get there early, she goes on at 6PM.

Shwa and The Good Times are spending every Tuesday in September at Rockwood Music Hall. If you missed them this Tuesday, then be sure to catch them next week, September 14. They go on at 8PM. And, another, no excuses gig, it's FREE! They have one of the worlds catchiest songs, "Penultimate Dance" and a song that stayed on repeat for a good while "Sandy Don't Worry."

Monday's are a good night to check out music. September 20, New York's Jump Into The Gospel (pictured) will be at Mercury Lounge. It's 10 at 10 ... $10 at 10PM. Check them out. They won me over when I happened to catch them back in February.

Also on Monday, September 20, Sharon Little will be on the LES as well. She'll be at Rockwood Music Hall on Stage 2. She's on early, 7:30PM and it'll cost you $10. I became a fan of her music when I came across her first album on Amie Street a couple of years ago. Her EP, First Cut is available on her official website but will be released the following day, 9/21 via digital outlets. It's a sneak peek of her upcoming second album Paper Doll which will be released early next year.

Need something to do Tuesday, September 21? Well, head on over to Mercury Lounge and catch Red Wanting Blue. They're on at 8:30PM and it'll cost you $10. They put on a hell of a live show. Buy your tickets now, I think they sold out the last time they were there. You don't want to get left at the door looking all sad eyed and pitiful because you couldn't get in.

Check with venues as times can be subject to change.

Photo Review: Shwa Losben At Mercury Lounge 5/20 + Video


Shwa Losben and The Good Times: May
20 @ Mercury Lounge, New York, NY


Shwa Losben has a new album, Good Times, Good Times, that came out earlier this month. What does one do when one releases a new record? You have a party to celebrate. That's just what they did. Now, I confess, I'd never heard of Shwa Losben before I walked into Mercury Lounge Thursday night. Now that I've witnessed the band, I have two songs stuck in my head, "Sandy Don't Worry" and the highly infectious "Penultimate Dance." The former song, has been on repeat and the latter song, there's something about it that reminds me of "White Wedding" ... yeah, what? Don't look at me all funny like that, y'all know I'm prone to questionable comparisons. At any rate it has a killer disco beat and it's sure to inspire way more off beat dancing than necessary. Being a guitar fan, I'm diggin' the guitar player, y'all cool with that? Check out some photos from their set and a video of "Everything Fell Into Place."
