Double Dagger/Mirrors and Wires/Math the Band at...
After a week of doing grown-up work in the real world, I figured a Double Dagger show at Shea Stadium BK would be a good way to ease back into being a useless kid for a while.

But not only was it bearable, the 70-minute collaboration between three of the most dynamic percussionists out there flew by. It barely felt like any time had passed when Robyn Schulkowsky softly mentioned to Joey Baron, fellow curator of this month’s calendar at the...

New Oblivians song!
I guess part of the deal when people do that free Scion Garage show thing is they put out a 7-inch with Vice Records. So, the Oblivians have recorded a split with Andre Ethier, and it’s right here:
