Younger Brother – Vaccine Review

By Groovin Grecs at April 17, 2011 | 8:11 pm | 0 Comment

For any die hard Younger Brother fan, this album may come as a bit of a shock. After releasing their debut A Flock of Bleeps in 2003, and follow-up  The Last Days of Gravity in 2007 to critical raves, YB set everyone's expectations extremely high. Listening to the progression of the albums left me wondering if Younger Brother's evolution had just begun towards a more...

The Rise of Westcott Nation

By Groovin Grecs at November 4, 2010 | 12:02 pm | 0 Comment

The upstate New York music scene is one that flourishes all summer long, with multiple scenic outdoor events and festivals. As the beautiful weather begins to fade, the amount of available venues that bring in the acts we want to see does as well. Unfortunately, only a handful exist throughout the central and upstate New York areas. In Syracuse, however, a venue called more...

As fall is fast approaching, it seemed like a great idea to get out to one more festival before the nice weather subsides. The festival I chose was appropriately called the Sterling Stage "Last Daze of Summer," located in Sterling, New York. I wasn't sure what to expect, but right from the get go this festival offered a great low key, intimate vibe. With a total more...

By Groovin Grecs at August 30, 2010 | 11:15 pm | 0 Comment

There is always some kind of special aura that follows a tour closer, and on this slightly chilly, but comfortable summer night the expectations for Phish were extremely high. They had been formed long before this throwdown on the south shore of Long Island. Just a few minutes before entering the venue, I was told to look at the absolutely stunning and beautiful orange more...

Phish @ Jones Beach “Fluff Came To New York”

By Groovin Grecs at August 30, 2010 | 10:17 am | 0 Comment

“FLUFF CAME TO NEW YORK” I walked into the Jones Beach parking lot around 4 PM, and immediately felt the special buzz that only follows Phish shows.  They had begun their summer tour on June 11 in Illinois and were closing out the run with a two-night stand at Jones Beach. As the fans filed into the Jones Beach Amphitheatre a little after 8 o’clock, the buzz more...
