Some bands just draw a good natured crowd, and Minus The Bear is one of them. At any given time in a crowd of 1,200, there were less than 5 phones in the air - folks were snapping quick “I was there” shots or 10 seconds of video, but no one was forced to watch an entire song through someone else’s phone. Personal space was respected, and people were polite when moving about. You could feel the gratitude and joy from the audience and the band for the 90 minutes we got to spend together celebrating some of our favorite music. And to get to see them in one of my favorite “small venues” that I’ve been going to for 30+ years was icing on the cake.
It’s a longer train back home than it was when I was living on this island, but at least my new route takes me through Grand Central Terminal. I remember the first time my Mom took me there as a child, and there’s an echo of that first moment of wonder in every return visit. I wish we could still make spaces like this.

Live Gig Review: Kerry King @ Irving Plaza - 2/07/25

This is a great billing to see if you're looking for an overarching great night of metal mania before this tour ends next week.

Tonight: definitely should be in bed, but lucked out with ticket lottery and so no way I was missing Jack White at Irving Plaza on a Monday night. White is a legit rock god, absolutely crushing it. Scintillating even from the back of the very-packed room. Pretty good one for #2025.50 (!).

Watching @ChrisetteM at #Irvingplaza singing Epiphany!

Tonight: it's a "feeling old" night. At Irving Plaza, a venue I used to come to quite regularly way back when - first saw music here almost 30 years ago! - but it's been 8 years since the last time. And I'm here for the Go! Team who are celebrating the 20th of their (awesome) debut album. Such an awesome and fun band with a rather unique, ebullient, high-energy sound. Great way to kick off the weekend...
