All Types of Kinds – Bowery on the LES of NYC – Monday March 5th, 2018

Monday March 5th, 2018

There are countless thousands of bands performing around the world seeking fame, fortune and everything that goes with it. Every once in a while though, you run into a group who does it simply because The Music Matters. This blogger witnessed that first hand last evening on the #LES of #NYC.

Due to a scheduling #snafu at a mainstream nightclub we traveled downtown from #Pleasantville too late to see #AllTypesofKinds perform. The band had never met us, did not know of our blogging, or even our name. Only that we had traveled a distance to see them. At their absolute insistence, they #tooktothestreets and performed an impromptu set which delighted not only this blogger, but attracted the attention of folks passing by as well.

For those not in the know, #ATOK is a 4 piece multi-talented group who’s roots expand all over the NYC area.Their mix of Alternative/Folk and Hip Hop is unique. The band is harmony rich, with flowing melody. They are certainly fine tunesmiths as well. They will perform as a full on #rockband or as a stripped down #acousticact. Their catalog of original material is extensive. Festival and tour promoters take notice as these folks (as proven last night) can certainly entertain any audience any time, anywhere

Please follow this outstanding combo live, on social media and always remember #themusicmatters

Fabled Hoboken music venue Maxwell’s to close…..again….

Fabled Hoboken music venue Maxwell’s to close…..again….

This blogger feels the challenge with the “New Maxwell’s” was the disparaging remarks the owners made about the music. Had they respected the history of the fabled back room and concentrated on making the front the best restaurant possible, they could have retained it’s mystique as well as provided a future for The Hoboken Sound

There are three elements of music.#melody,#harmony,#rhythm. So when folks get together to start a rock band they put it together with vocals, guitar, drums, cello…Stop! Cello? What’s that doing here? Electric Light Orchestrafans as well as Jeff Lynne will certainly tell you that’s nothing new however, it’s role in the happenstance formed #thehappyfits is quite unique. The Happy Fits are Luke Davis ( vocals,drums), Ross Monteith ( vocals,guitar), and Calvin Langman (vocals, cello). Starting in the Summer of 2016 to raise money for local charities while they were planning college, music in their life had other ideas. When their tune “While You Fade Away” exploded on Spotify gave them recognition, they had no choice but to go #fullthrottle with the combo.. First brought to the attention of The Music Matters by curator/promoter Pamnation who suggested (ok demanded) we view their performance this past week on Paste Music & Daytrotter live in studio feed. Astonished, we had to head into #NYC last night to see them as they were performing their first #reddoorsessions show at #kgbbar on W4th st.

The house was packed, and the entire audience seemed to know not just the lyrics but the clap and stomp routine to follow as we all rollicked through the 45 minute set. This blogger had the chance to meet and greet with all the members before and after the show. They were quite engaging to speak with and of course made us so #happy we had #fits. We look forward to watching this young band grow and wish them much #success. Please feel free to #comment and of course #follow them on social media, #share with friends too!
