Where were all of New York's cool kids Tuesday night ...Shiny Toy Guns ' secret show of course

NBC New York hosted an incredible event featuring a killer performance by the band, and an exhibit of their truly unique album art. Upon arriv al, I immediately recognized the outrageous Manhattan-based fashion duo The Blonds who have been chosen to costume Britney Spears for the visual incarnation that is her Circus tour . I then made my way over to the bar where I was greeted with a free Stella (have to love open bar music industry events). Around 11pm, the band took the stage and played for over an hour...blowing everyones ears off with incredible music & amazing light show.Make sure to check this experience out on the road & at their several SXSW shows.

Coming back with a vengence

Coming back with a vengence…Blue October release their hard hitting new single “Dirt Room”. Dark in meaning, this song is all about fighting back and pushing forward...and for Blue October that means quickly pushing their way up the chart to Top15 (in four weeks) on the Alternative Chart.

The official NCIS soundtrack will also be featuring a song from their new release entitled “Kangaroo city”, which is suiting since it inspired the storyline of an upcoming episode .
