Huma Rojo This Thursday at Transit

Let’s face it, girls that can truly shred onstage are one of those things that just kicks ass. Just take Joan Jett, Go-Go’s and Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth). Not for any chauvinistic reason–we are an equal opportunity rock fan. Just because, even today, you simply don’t see it enough in…

Miami’s techno heads are hardly out of options tonight with internationally renowned DJ/producers Simon Baker and Todd Bodine in tow at Grass and the Electric Pickle, respectively.

Q&A With Cage, Playing at Revolution on Saturday

No one would ever accuse Chris Palko, the New York rapper who goes by Cage, of coming across as warm and cuddly. From the beginning of his career on the circuit, he’s mined his own set of personal traumas for musical gold. He’s long discussed his fucked up childhood to…

N.O.R.E.

When rapper Noreaga turned into N.O.R.E. earlier this decade, it was worrisome. Longtime fans adored him as half of the killer Queens duo Capone-N-Noreaga, which in the mid-to-late-’90s helped take back New York’s crown as the seat of real street rap. In the face of adversity from West Coast gangstas…

The Slackers
