Strokes Played Homecoming Gig at MSG Last Night
As the thousands of hipsters ironically packed into MSG you could feel something special would go down as NY heroes The Strokes played their first show in the garden. As the lights went out the crowd was surprised to see Elvis Costello take the stage. "April Fools motherfuckers!" he yelled and then went into a quick three song set of "Radio Radio" "Pump it Up" and "(What's so Funny about) Peace Love and Understanding" Minds were blown. After his set the headliners took the stage. The Strokes have been getting a lot of flack for phoning it in recently at their shows. This wasn't the case tonight...

The Vaccines Live from the Glasslands Review
Bands like The Vaccines are always the hardest to review. There is so much hype surrounding these guys it's ridiculous. These British rockers have already received the Arctic Monkeys treatment without even releasing an album yet. People are quick to compare them to the Ramones and the Strokes, but I don't think that's a fair comparison. If the show tonight proved anything, it was that the Vaccines are their own band and they are poised to take the music world by storm. What made them so great is the fact that they seemed to have perfected the art of what I like to call "Gloom Rock". With song titles like "Post Break Up Sex" and "A Lack of Understanding" it's hard to deny that these guys have some serious issues that they are dealing with. The songs deal with feeling alone, losing someone you cared about, and miscommunication.

Dirty Guv'nahs Live from New York Review
So the Dirty Guv'nahs from Knoxville, TN decided to come to New York and play a show. The results? A southern rock dance party in the middle of Manhattan. It was funny seeing these guys will the crowd into the show. Typically a New York crowd is very chill and almost too cool to dance. That's what the show started out like, but the Dirty Guv'nahs weren't going to have that. At one point early in the set, the lead singer James Trimble yelled something along the lines of "You better appreciate this right now! We'll be playing Madison Square Garden soon enough!" It's hard to win over a NY crowd, but the fearlessness that the Guv'nahs showed quickly won over the crowd. It was truly one of the few times that I have seen a NY crowd dance and drunkenly holler throughout the show. Near the end of the set, it was apparent in the vibe from the crowd that they didn't want the show to end. One thing was clear by the end of the show.. The Dirty Guv'nahs are a force to be reckoned with and if they keep it up, they just might be playing in Madison Square Garden one day. Check out the setlist after the jump.
