Morningwood breaks
With all that flaying around and rock star posturing, it's no wonder that a million band members have injured themselves on-stage (hell, just go ask Dillinger Escape Plan). But Thursday night, as we prepared to hit up a Camel™-sponsored concert at Webster Hall featuring The Sounds and local faves Morningwood (remember "Nth Degree&quo...

Saturday night at the Nokia, sold-out show by emo showstoppers Say Anything. During "Belt," singer Max Bemis is joined on-stage by a number of his friends (cue the chorus of "what say you and all your friends step up to my friends in the alley tonight?"). Joining the usual opening band members, friends, hangers-on and wha...
MUSIC: The Foo Fighters play two sets (literally!)
Last night's Foo Fighters show at MSG had all the makings of a classic arena rock show...for better or worse.
The good:
* The Foos had two sets...literally. Besides the main stage, the group also set up a stage on MSG's floor, near the back. "Bet you guys thought you had lousy seats!" Dave Grohl yelled, to thunderous applause....
