Amon Amarth @ Irving Plaza Kevin Rincon May 21, 2010 Concerts NEW YORK, NY—As a soon-to-be college grad I’ve been having severe withdrawal from loud noises. The never-ending shushing in libraries and even in my own house from roommates with papers and projects has left me...
Cold War Kids @ Music Hall Of Williamsburg Kevin Rincon February 15, 2010 Concerts BROOKLYN, NY—It took me longer than the average Cold War Kids fan to catch on. Back in 2007, I saw them open for Muse at Madison Square Garden. I don’t know if they got lost in the size of it all, but they la...
The Killers @ PNC Bank Arts Center Kevin Rincon October 8, 2009 Concerts HOLMDEL, NJ—Walking to a venue most people would feel excited to get a chance to hear some good live music, or at least that’s what they’re paying for. Some get there early; others make it just in time to see ...
Mudvayne @ The Webster Kevin Rincon April 8, 2009 Concerts HARTFORD, CT—You kind of know you’re watching a show in Connecticut when an hour and a half after doors open the line to get in has barely moved. The Webster is a bit deceiving; I was expecting a Knitting Factory-sized place, maybe enough for 100 or so people, which had me wondering how bad Mudvayne did on record sales their last album out. Luckily they didn’t do too badly.
In Flames / Gojira @ Terminal 5 Kevin Rincon January 13, 2009 Concerts NEW YORK, NY—Walking past retail stores with every inch of window space conquered by red and green I was starting to feel the excitement as I got closer to the venue. It had been years since the last time I sa...
Projekt Revolution @ PNC Bank Arts Center Kevin Rincon August 20, 2008 Concerts HOLMDEL, NJ—Any doubts of how Projekt Revolution would turn out were probably surrounded around the line-up. It’s hard to set up a tour with such a variety of different bands, especially when their musical styl...
Eisley @ Maxwell’s Kevin Rincon June 4, 2008 Concerts HOBOKEN, NJ – The excitement of going to Maxwell’s for the first time made me forget about how horrible parking is in Hoboken. Despite my attempts at avoiding the parking garage, I was left with no choice. ...
Devildriver / Napalm Death @ BB Kings Kevin Rincon April 23, 2008 Concerts NEW YORK, NY—No matter how many times I see a show in NYC, I still can’t get over how good a turnout metal gets. Walking down to Times Square you see the typical tourists and the millions of people that are th...
Editors / Hot Hot Heat / Louis XIV @ Electric Factory Kevin Rincon February 20, 2008 Concerts PHILADELPHIA, PA—I’ve been lucky enough to see shows at plenty of venues in NYC, but never in Philly. When I think of Philly I think of two spots, Trocadero and Electric Factory. Considering I didn’t know the ...
Killswitch Engage / Lamb Of God @ Hammerstein Ballroom Kevin Rincon December 26, 2007 Concerts NEW YORK, NY—Tickets can sometimes be hard to sell, but tickets with big name metal acts like Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God and DevilDriver, well those tickets become easier to sell. Easy enough to sell out in...
