Lenny Kravitz @ Terminal 5 - 8/31/11

I’ve somehow gone my entire concert-going life without seeing Lenny Kravitz live in any setting, club or festival. A mob gathered outside of Terminal 5 for the Samsung sponsored event (many of them with old magazines featuring the singer), showing that Lenny can still pull them in. Still clad in shades, he ran through a career spanning 11-song set, including an extended jazz version of...

Peelander and Peewonder-Z @ Death By Audio ...

The last time I saw Peelander-Z, they were hanging off rails at South Street Seaport. This celebration at Death By Audio didn’t have that, or human bowling, but yet again, they put on a completely different show. Peelander’s “sisters” Peewonder-Z were the real highlights of the show.

Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players @ Death By...

Rachel’s a lot more grown up, but Jason still nervously banters in between songs and Tina still silently mans the projector.

MNDR @ Public Assembly 8/11/11

Amanda Warner shed her glasses to perform at the GLMR KLLS Fall Bash tonight at Public Assembly in Williamsburg.

Planned Parenthood Benefit with Best Coast and...

Apparently the whole thing was the brainchild of Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino and raised a good deal of money to help the cause. Those Darlins played in support of its new release Screws Get Loose. Pictures below!

Kanye West @ MoMA’s Party In The Garden 5/10/11

Wow. That’s the only word I can use to describe the party that went down at MoMA’s annual fundraiser. Over an hour of hits in a (somewhat) intimate setting. And an appearance from that friend of Kanye’s. Jay something. Amazing.
