The Ten Best Concerts in New York This Weekend, 4/12/13

These 10 concerts were chosen "Best of Weekend" by a robot made of melted down vinyl copies of Black Sabbath's Paranoid and the guts of old tube amplifiers. Make it happy. Go out into that good night.

Suffocation (and a Guy with a Chainsaw) - Saint Vitus - 4/5/13

Better Than: It's hard to think of something that this wouldn't be better than. This was one of the wildest shows I've seen at Saint Vitus. It seemed telling that the venue had moved all the tables out of the bar, presumably to make more space for mayhem. See also: The Best Metal Shows in NYC This ... More >>

What the Not Jay and Ye Members of Roc-A-Fella Records Have Been Up To

Tonight Gramercy Theater is hosting a Roc-A-Fella Records reunion concert. (Although, ummm, considering the notable absences, it seems maybe unauthorized.) It's been just over eight years since Jay-Z and Dame Dash split, ending one of the most influential and dominant labels in rap. While the long-r ... More >>

Could Napalm Death Make Music If the World Was A Perfect Place?

The world according to Napalm Death is a terrible place where terrible people do terrible things; the methods those in power create and implement to increase injustice and suffering always improve, but everything else just gets worse. This seems like it would make remaining focused impossible, but N ... More >>

Don't Miss These Bands At CMJ

CMJ: So many shows (about 1,300), so little time (5 days). Poring through the schedule, separating the wheat from the chaff--and sorry, there's lots of chaff every year--and figuring out a plan of attack is time-consuming and headache-inducing. So to help you out a tiny bit, we've picked out 10 acts ... More >>

2 Chainz, Asher Roth, Ace Hood, Vado, and Gunplay Gramercy Theatre Tuesday, February 21 Better than: Clicking through the 50 best hip-hop jumpsuits.

Insane Clown Posse Are Headlining Hammerstein Ballroom on October 25

Don't be alarmed if you wear an ICP shirt to Union Pool and I punch you in the face. Seems like a long time since a certain widely maligned, fundamentally ludicrous horrorcore duo and their earnestly intentioned family of facepainted, hatchet-swinging outcast fans were actually reviled. Now, they'r ... More >>

Live: Pusha T And Ryan Leslie Win Some And Lose Some

FlashFWD Awards featuring Pusha T and Ryan Leslie Gramercy Theater June 8, 2011 Better than: Watching two sets by Ryan Leslie.

Live: Machine Gun Kelly Throws Himself A Homecoming Of Sorts At The Gramercy Theater

Machine Gun Kelly Gramercy Theater Sunday, May 22 Better than: Going to the gym. Machine Gun Kelly onstage is like a Nintendo character, if someone kept pressing the B button.

Tonight! Evanescence, Sean Kingston, and Buraka Som Sistema

Still the jam, right It seems ludicrous that Evanescence has not yet appeared on a Twilight soundtrack, but there's two sequels to go, and Amy Lee's grandiosely maudlin goth-pop monolith seems to be revving up again after several lifetimes' worth of intra-band calamity. They're at the Grand Ballro ... More >>

Tonight! Go See "Fela!" Or Rest Up For CMJ

Pretty light evening tonight. If you're the sort who'd be into seeing Soulfly at Blender Theater at Gramercy, we suspect you already know about it.

Week in Review: There's Only One Viable Avant-Garde Art Form Nowadays, And It's Called Indie Rock

Sam Horine​In the week a Brooklyn indie-rock band either did or didn't kick a puppy in Prospect Park (sweat-soaked August news cycle, we see you), we amused ourselves making Rick Ross "Yo Mamma" jokes and watching rap panic take New York as 50 Cent did, and then didn't, shoot your grandmother. ...

A Michael Jackson Joke Already!

My, things happen so quickly around here!
