  • Flashing Back with La Force (4/12 at UT w/ Caroline Rose)

    Since the return of live music, we’ve gotten to know La Force – the solo project of Montreal-based singer/songwriter Ariel Engle, best known as a vocalist for Broken Social Scene (Her husband, Andrew Whiteman, has been with the Canadian indie rock collective since 2001.) – quite well.  La Force’s...
  • Esther Rose: “I’m just trying not to do anything that I’ve ever done before.” (Tonight at MilkBoy)

    This April Americana singer/songwriter Esther Rose dropped her fourth studio LP, Safe to Run, courtesy of New West Records, home to PHILTHY phriends Aaron Lee Tasjan, Caroline Rose, and Emily Nenni, among others.  The album – whose title track features Hurray For The Riff Raff – was written over...
  • Catching Up with mmeadows (6/21 at JB’s w/ Bayonne)

    “We are currently 974 miles into the tour, driving out to the first show in Denver,” jokes Cole Kamen-Green during a recent phone chat, while looking at his odometer.  Cole is one-half of experimental pop duo mmeadows, alongside partner (musical and life) Kristin Slipp.  Cole is an in-demand instrumentalist,...
  • Caroline Rose at Union Transfer

    Caroline Rose has been a favorite musician of mine for a few years after I first heard their third album, LONER. Their synthy and punchy instrumentals alongside their funny, sardonic, and sometimes heartbreakingly honest lyrics have always inspired me. But their most recent album release, The Art of Forgetting,...

    “Izzy, I’m so excited for the light show!” says indie pop singer/songwriter Caroline Rose, who embarks on their biggest headlining tour yet at the end of this month, which includes an April 11th stop at Union Transfer.  I first met Caroline Rose in January of 2014, when they had...
  • Aaron Lee Tasjan: “A little too weird?” (11/9 at WCL, for WXPN members)

    “I had the greatest thing in the world that could ever happen to me happen.  Elton John somehow came across my new record and called me up and asked if he could play piano on my next record,” Aaron Lee Tasjan tells me, laughing, after asking him if he’s...
  • Flashing Back to 2014 with Caroline Rose (Friday at Underground Arts)

    I’m sure readers of the site have seen that we recently flashed back to 2014 with Slothrust, back when we first met the alt rock band who was still playing house shows and DIY spaces, before going on to headline mega-venue Union Transfer and sell out numerous shows at...
  • Another Side of Caroline Rose (Pun Intended)

    Caroline Rose has been a dear friend of ours (and mine, personally) for quite a few years now… However, for the majority of our friendship, she was known for Americana balladry and roots rocking, which normally placed her at World Café Live.  However, about a year ago I got...
