Nick & Knight Album Release Party at Highline Ballroom 9/3!

2 Comments

We’re less than 2 weeks away from the release of Nick & Knight’s album, and what better way to celebrate than with an album release party at one of our favorite NYC venues, Highline Ballroom?   The party (not clear if they’ll be performing or not since any concert with Nick Carter and Jordan Knight is a PARTY) will be on Wednesday, September 3rd.

Nick & Knight’s self titled album will be released on September 2nd.  You can pre-order on iTunes now!  Watch the video for their single “One More Time” below.

Tickets and VIP Packages go on sale this Saturday, August 23rd at 10AM at NickAndKnight.com.

The Strypes USA Tour Dates & “4 Track Mind” EP Out Now!

Leave a comment

Let’s be real:  When you hear the phrase “teenage band from the UK,” you probably cringe.  If that’s the case, you haven’t heard of The Strypes yet, one of our favorite new artists.  The Strypes have a sound way beyond their years, drawing influences from The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals.  It’s hard to believe they are all under 18 years old.  Their debut album, “Snapshot,” is available on iTunes now, and they just released the “4 Track Mind” EP in the US today.  Listen to their track “Hard To Say No” below.

We unfortunately missed their sold-out album release show in NYC last March, which Rolling Stone raved about.  Since the talented quartet hail from the Ireland, we weren’t sure when we’d get a chance to see them again.   Lucky for us (and you) they are back in the US this week for a string of shows, including stops at the 9:30 Club and Music Hall of Williamsburg.

Check out the dates below and don’t miss your chance to see them!

Pre-Order Heffron Drive’s Debut Album “Happy Mistakes” Out September 9th!

Leave a comment

Heffron Drive announced that their debut album, “Happy Mistakes,” will be released on September 9th!  The album was a long time coming, as band mates Kendall Schmidt and Dustin Belt have been making music together since 2008.  They put the project on hold so Kendall could join a little group named Big Time Rush, but now Heffron Drive is back in full swing.   We love that they had a fan design the album art.  Listen to their latest single, “Parallel” below!

We’re looking forward to finally getting studio versions of “One Track Mind” and “The Art of Moving On,” which we’ve only ever heard performed live!   Check out the full tracklisting, for the regular and deluxe albums, below.

1. Happy Mistakes
2. Parallel
3. Division of the Heart
4. Had to Be Panama
5. Nicotine

Austin Mahone Tour Mockumentary

Leave a comment

We love when our favorite artists team up and go on tour together.  This summer, Austin Mahone invited The Vamps and Shawn Mendes as his opening acts for his tour, which kicked off in Texas last month.  But Austin soon realized his tourmates maybe weren’t quite who he thought they were.  Being on tour together means lots of quality time, and he got to know the “real” Brad, Connor, Tristan, James and Shawn.  What do we mean?  Watch the tour mockumentary below!

Check out all of Austin’s upcoming tour dates here!  Don’t miss your chance to see these borks in person.

New York Mets Summer ’14 Concert Series: Boyz II Men and Austin Mahone!

2 Comments

We try to go to a couple of baseball games each summer.  And what better time to go than when the team is hosting a post-game concert?   The New York Mets have a tradition of summer concerts, which in previous years have included Third Eye Blind and 50 Cent.  But we are extra excited about this year’s lineup, as it includes some of our faves:  90s boy band Boyz II Men, and the one man boy band Austin Mahone!

Any ticket to the game will get you admission to the post-game show, and in the past artists have played near-full sets (around 10 songs).    Visit the Met’s website for more info.
