I guess it’s no secret that I love Nightmare of You. I hadn’t been able to see any of their shows on The Bang Tour with Edison Glass, so I trekked all the way to Long Island to see the bands play at Temple Beth-Am. It’s very weird to me to go to Shul on a Saturday and not for services… but I guess stranger things have happened.

I’m still working on a good name for this sort of thing, but my editor, the lovely Dan K, thinks it’d be a good idea if I posted a new video each week that chronicles 24-36 hours of my life in a bite sized chunk.

My friend Christian Siriano invited me to go to Las Vegas with him, his boyfriend Brad Walsh and Geneva Simms. Xtian was judging the Miss USA contest and hosting a party at Tao, and a bunch of his friends from all over the country joined us. It was totally fun and this video is 36 hours of fun rolled into a bite sized video. The song that plays is called “Bang” by Nightmare of You.

Thank you so much to HQProductions

When we saw that Le Loup was playing at Union Hall, we knew that our friend Joe McCaffrey, from Nightmare of You, would be at the show. So we asked him to review the show for us! Here’s Joe’s Review:

Disclaimer*** This is a completely biased review. I hardly ever go
to shows unless I am either already a fan of the music or am somehow
affiliated with the organization. It is a very rare occasion such as
this that I find myself writing about the experience. I haven’t
payed respect to the exigencies of objective writing since college
and I don’t plan on rekindling that relationship anytime soon. With
that said…

A year or two ago I saw Lily Allen get on stage at the Hiro Ballroom for her first ever New York City performance. How I got those tickets is beyond me, but I was there! It was like her coronation into our American hearts, and her debutant ball all in one. Last night’s Duffy performance wasn’t much different.

The teeny tiny 19-year-old soulful singer took the stage like a woman twice her stature and twice her age. Confidence spewing out and looking like she walked out of a photoshoot from the 60s (or at least a photoshoot doubling as Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth). She should be called Duffy Springfield.

So, tonight is pretty crazy in NYC. Here’s what’s going on:

I’m going to the Duffy show and then jumping on the L and heading to see Nightmare of You and Ash!

Yay St. Patrick’s Day
