Samantha Moore went to see Clinic on Thursday and wrote a review:

I had never heard Clinic’s music up until last night. I had heard of them many times, in magazines, on blogs, on the street. But I had never heard a clear definition of their sound. Some people (ahem, ohmyrockness) says they sound like a “post-OK Computer Radiohead”. This means almost nothing to me mostly because Kid A and Hail to the Thief are not records I listen to very often (please don’t shoot me). Others (ahem Pitchfork) calls them “recombinant rock”….uh….okay. So I really didn’t know what to expect when I turned up at Music Hall (by myself because all of my friends are in the midst of finals….something I somehow miraculously avoided).

Both Samantha Moore and I went to see The Verve perform at the WaMu Theater at MSG on two different nights. With ten years between us and two very different reference points, it seemed like a great opportunity for both of us to give our views on the Verve’s triumphant NYC comeback. The first in 10 years!

Almack’s Dance Hall contributor, Samantha Moore, got her mind blown at the Crystal Castles show the other night. Thankfully, she was still able to turn in this review:

I wasn’t planning on going to see Crystal Castles last night. In my head I was telling myself that I had to work at 8 am, and I had school after that, and I had gotten 2 hours of sleep the night before. But being the NME slave that I am and being the NME darlings that they are, I just. couldn’t. help it. I had only heard a few of their songs before, but their live show was supposed to be incredible, so I couldn’t resist the urge to find out what the hype was all about.

My friend Samantha Moore went to the Hives last night and I thought she could take a stab at writing about it since she kinda flipped her shit over how great the show was. Read her and see the pics after the jump.
