I seem to have fallen down on entries related to local music and arts stuff.

Last Friday, my old friends Gloryhound (if you were here a couple of years ago you may remember the weekly setlists from their show at Tribeca) released an EP on Friday. There was a show at the Seahorse to celebrate and there was a large and lively crowd--just like old ( Read more... )

I dunno if anyone except bands uses MySpace these days, but for bands it is a mighty useful site.

Just got directed to this interview with Gloryhound, on the music blog East Coast Noise. (Print interview.)

The music here's good, though.
