PHOTOS: All Points West, Days 2 and 3

By • Aug 3rd, 2009 • Category: Arts, Blog

Share/SaveThe clouds over Liberty State Park parted on Saturday for the second day of All Points West, but muddy feet were still the order of the day. The weather took a turn for the worse on Sunday, when heavy rains delayed the opening of the gates by five hours. Saturday’s bill was headed by Tool, [...]



A Deafening Silence at the City Council Caucus Meeting

By • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Blog, News, Politics

Share/SaveEditor’s note: It’s not every day an editor gets a message from his music writer saying he’s working on a writeup of a City Council caucus meeting. But, alas, these are indeed strange days in Jersey City, and I found myself in just that situation today. So, without further ado, here’s Zac Clark’s take on [...]



Live in JC: Plowing Mud Forever and No Pasaran at Groove on Grove

By • Jul 14th, 2009 • Category: Arts, Featured

Share/Save[PSGallery=5ylyan0f9] Wednesday, July 8, 2009: Admittedly, the story I’m about to tell you is bizarre and incredible. Those of you who wish to avoid being unsettled — who wish to avoid thinking — will label it fiction. Though you, the reader, may find these facts almost impossible to substantiate, that does not alter their inherent [...]



Live in JC: Not Just Boys’ Fun

By • Jul 1st, 2009 • Category: Arts, Featured

Share/Save It’s been a wild few weeks, running from show to show, meeting with bands, talking with locals and promoters. Oh, and I moved too. Needless to say, it’s been hard to just get a minute to reflect on everything. But a few weeks back I split my time up between IM Automata Chino and [...]



Live in JC: Rocking Around JC Fridays

By • Jun 11th, 2009 • Category: Arts, Featured

Share/Save I’m quite sold on the fact that the only reason weather exists is to screw up festival events and picnics. It’s definitely peak monsoon season here in Jersey City, and last Friday was no exception. So as I crossed Grove Street in the rain to start my evening of rocking through JC Fridays, I [...]



CD REVIEW: Eastern Anchors’ Self-Titled LP

By • May 29th, 2009 • Category: Arts, Blog

Share/SaveA few weeks ago Eastern Anchors sent me an early release for their upcoming eponymous debut LP. As soon as I caught up with a few blog posts I gave it a real look and dissected it. The Red Bank band, which has been around for about a year and a half, consists of Walter [...]



Live in JC: The Roadside Graves & The Press at IM Automata Chino

By • May 15th, 2009 • Category: Arts, Featured

Share/Save It’s a crooked and socially dangerous line to walk; one that metaphysically winds and dips like the Rio Grande. But here I am sitting on it, like the Border Patrol, and I’m drunk and corrupted by the power. I’m talking about the slight difference between being the guy and being that guy. As I [...]



Live in JC: Higgins & Any Day Parade Kick Off Groove on Grove ’09

By • May 8th, 2009 • Category: Arts, Blog

Share/Save I’d love to tell you the weather was lovely and the birds were out singing, that spring was in the air and it was all around beautiful out as the second season of Groove on Grove got underway. But I’ll be honest: The rain held out just long enough for Higgins and Any Day [...]
