Blind Benny - 08/10 - Brooklyn Bowl, NYC
Formerly Jade <3, newly dubbed Blind Benny opened for The Cool Kids at Brooklyn Bowl last week. They’ve got a flower-child feel that I love. The band released their new EP, The Lucid, today. Check it out! :: )
Ciara - Malibu Rum Station Invasion Tour - 08/04 - Beekmans Beer Garden - South Street Seaport, NYC
Last night, the Malibu Rum Station Invasion Tour made its way to New York City’s South Street Seaport. I expected this event to be similar to Bacardi’s Like It Live: chock full of theatrics and free alcohol. While Malibu gifted attendants with an amazing fireworks display and served up cocktails gratis at several bar stations around the venue, the Station Invasion fell short of Like it Live in one important area: organization. This was the most disorganized event I have attended all summer. Getting in was a nightmare, what with the incredibly rude staffers, and the show began well after the scheduled 10pm start time. Luckily, once Ciara hit the stage, I was able to forgive the error of Malibu’s ways.
Opening with her hit single “Get Up,” Ciara brought a dynamic energy that kept the crowd excited from beginning to end. Although she isn’t a vocal powerhouse live - the set featured extra breathy renditions of hit songs like “Promise” and “Ride”- Ciara danced with a fierceness reminiscent of Velvet Rope Janet Jackson. We raised our hands, danced along, and chanted “Love, Sex, Magic!” at her command. All in all, she gave us everything we expected and made the Station Invasion tour well worth attending.
Can you imagine if someone in the world ACTUALLY looked like that?
