Our friend Doug, aka DJ Shakeyface, is doing his monthly Rock the Beat party this Friday. Live set, 2 live PAs and yours truly filling in the blanks. I’m excited to unleash a lot of great new stuff I’ve been sitting on, and since I don’t get to play too many strictly electronic gigs, I’ll [...]

Back in the early days of Scissorkick, we posted a short video showing the guitar/beatbox/singing exploits of our friend Mike B, The Invisible Man. Since that time, Mike has put together a great new album and assembled an eclectic lineup for its release party tomorrow in Brooklyn. Make sure you get yourself out there if [...]

As far as live bands are concerned, The Cinematic Orchestra have few equals. Of course many will argue for the virtuosity of more traditional jazz performers, but because J. Swinscoe and company do things a bit differently, they have significantly more appeal to jazz fans who may not be the most hardcore enthusiasts. Last Wednesday, [...]

Big apologies for not posting but the day job is getting the best of me right now. But good shit has been piling up and I have a large stack of some incredible music, first and foremost some new stuff from one of our favorites Joe Beats (aka Joey Beats), of Non-Prophets fame and currently [...]

I am thrilled to announce the second installment of what I hope continues an annual celebration of 21st century music: Scissorsound. Last year, we packed our favorite Brooklyn spot, Studio BPM, as Kudu, 33Hz and Matters & Dunaway absolutely killed it on stage. It was, although just for a single night, a celebration of all [...]

For music lovers, we often can pinpoint a particular person or moment that set off the chain of events leading to obsession. One such point in my life was a semester overseas in ‘96 to London, where I met some equally insane maniacs who also loved weed, beer and music as much as I. Before [...]

The same spot, the same ugly faces behind the deck, and the same eclectic mix of old, new and unreleased tunes. We obviously don’t like change and if it ain’t broke why fix it.
You’ve gotten these emails before, so I’ll spare the details. But tonight’s special guests — the No Selector Crew — do the [...]

Alright, so it’s taken a while to get back to reality, and although I said I’d post about the Touch & Go 25th Anniversary all week, I think I will condense it to 3 days, since the event itself was held over 3 unforgettable days. For those of you not in the loop, Touch & [...]

I am currently still in Chicago until Wednesday and am probably too giddy over what transpired over the last 3 days to objectively report on The Touch & Go Records 25th Anniversary Party that just went down. Saw about 18 of the 25 acts over 3 days at the Hideout on Wabansia. Will post plenty [...]
