Rock N Roll Hotel Show Cancelled
To our friends in and around DC, We regret to announce that the Rock N Roll Hotel show has been called off, as it would appear that the east coast is already in for a bit of a rocker. The storm’s timing is as bad as it could be, and safety is very important to [...] Read more »
WordXWord
Darlingside on the opening night of the WordXWord Fesitval in Pittsfield, MA. Read reviews of the evening (which began with performances from the fantastic spoken-word poets Taylor Mali and Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo) here, here and here.
Performance Review from the Berkshire Eagle
The big find this year seemed to be young Northampton quintet Darlingside, who offered a meaty, musically literate dose of rock-tinged pop […] the material was meaty enough to incorporate pop hooks while carrying some ambitious musical heft.

This creature is, in fact, a wrist brace, which Auyon has been wearing most of the time, but especially when playing violin/mandolin or trimming the occasional hedge. Last summer, [...] Read more »
The Ugly Truckling
Readers, be at ease; I have returned safely once again from the just-barely-escapable clutches of the harrowing Turnpike that is New Jersey’s. I am deeply touched, readers, by the numerous inquests I have received with regards to my personal health and safety — some of them impressively dogmatic as to my rights and ethical entitlements [...] Read more »
A Summerish Mixtape
Typically, when someone makes a “summer mixtape,” it’s especially upbeat and…well, summery sounding. But the thing is, sometimes it’s summer and you just need a little bleakness mixed in with the surf and sunburn. So here’s what I’m listening to– summery or no, seasonal appropriateness be damned: Listen at 8tracks.com 1. Cults– “Abducted“ 2. The [...] Read more »
