HRC special note: I NEVER take three days to produce a review….I’ve had a fever something awful.

NIN Fans Go to modwheelmood @ elbo room, 6/10/09

Last time I saw Alessandro Cortini, he was throwing a keyboard over my head at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, at the last NIN LITS show. I had just found out that he was leaving the band, and I was sad. I recently completed my NIN/JA tour, and going to see Ally with some of [...]

Dark Dance Pop w/ IAMX @ Slim's, 6/9/09

Last night, IAMX brought dark and dangerous pop music to Slim’s. It soothed my soul. It was a circus pants and heels kind of evening- I knew that Chris Corner would bring his deranged bell boy ensemble, so I felt compelled to match it. It was my second night in a row at Slim’s, but [...]

San Francisco Loves Patrick Wolf and Living Things @ Slim's, 6/8/09

I forgot this was a Nylon sponsored show. This means: up and coming music, young kids, fashion that must be so bad it’s good to someone, and, at this particular show, some of the most beautiful androgynous people I’ve ever seen. Living Things, from St. Louis, hit the stage shortly after my arrival. The lead [...]

NIN/JA Tour Diary 9: Perspective & The Highlight Reel

There had to be nine of these. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined everything that would happen to me over the course of six NIN/JA shows. They were highly anticipated, with expectations through the roof, and I was still blown away. I made new friends, crossed about five things off my bucket [...]

NIN/JA Tour Diary 8: Last in Holmdel, 6/6/09

It was to be the final show. I slept like a baby in Philly, woke up late, and it was at this point we realized that we would need a place to get ready before the show tonight. So we decided to go back to Christine’s place in Brooklyn before going on to Holmdel. The [...]

NIN/JA Tour Diary 7: Closer in Camden, 6/5/09

I took a red eye flight to Atlanta, and then to Philly for the Camden show. I wasn’t able to sleep, but it really wouldn’t be a NIN/JA show if I wasn’t tired. One of my best friends, Christine, met me at our hotel in Philly, and soon we were on our way to the [...]

Shhhh…Mayhem and Cephalic Carnage are on Stage @ DNA Lounge, 6/3/09

I debated about whether or not I wanted to go to this show up until the last minute. It’s not the kind of music I listen to, but rather I like to go to these shows every once in a while for the energy and feeling of impending danger. However, my last outing to see [...]
