Reminder: Folsom East This Sunday

Don’t forget that Folsom Street East takes places this Sunday on 28th Street in West Chelsea. Even if you’re not down with the scene, it’s hard to resist any reason to stand in the sun and drink beer with 10,000 scantily clad perverts. This year’s performers include punksters Kissy Kamikaze, dance hotties Noa Tylo and Frederick Ford, SuperNova, Trai la …

Blowoff Photo Recap

Let’s just say that this weekend’s Blowoff was out of control, off the hook, off the chain, or whatever the kids are saying these days. The venue was behind schedule in turning the room over to Mould & Morel, so by midnight the line stretched from Western Beef all the way back to Ninth Avenue. But once everybody was inside, …

Bob Mould Band At Irving Plaza

Last night I caught Bob Mould’s packed show at Irving Plaza on his tour to support his new album, District Line. I’ve seen Bob perform at least six or seven times over the last few years, and last night’s show might have been the best yet. The audience was super responsive, calling Bob back for two multi-song encores. A mini-mosh …

(Another) Blowoff Recap

I’m pretty sure Saturday’s Blowoff was the best one ever. Pretty sure. The second half of the party is a teensy little foggy to me. Stupid tequila. Stupid beer. But it wasn’t just me that got his drunk on – I got tons of great pics that I can’t use here because everybody looks so freekin’ hammered. The place was …

Saturday: Blowoff NYC

In case you haven’t noticed it in my ad column, the next NYC edition of Blowoff is this Saturday at the swanky Highline Ballroom. Man, I’m jonesing for some hot tuneage from Mssrs Mould & Morel.

HomoQuotable – Bob Mould

“I have a very small life now. Literally, this street, down ten blocks, then two streets each way, it’s a box, and that’s my whole life. Inside this box, I’m comfortable and safe. I have a room I work in at home that’s a special place to me. But the rest of D.C. is weird, because both the military and …

Another Big Blowoff

Last night’s NYC Blowoff was even better than the last one, as positive word of mouth from October’s event brought in a huge crowd, causing a waiting line outside the Highline Ballroom and lines almost as long inside at the coat check and restrooms. Congrats to Bob Mould and Rich Morel for creating what will surely be a long-running Manhattan …
