Best Coast  suffering from the sophomore jinx,? I must quietly demure. The Only Place is as depressing as a bad cold on a summer afternoon. Awash in the Pacific ocean, it struggles to lift its head off the coach and the melodies gain extra strength from the effort I can't wait to hear them perform it on stage this Tuesday at T5.

Monday – Frank SInatra Jr – The Town Hall – SInatra sings Sinatra… any questions?

Wednesday – Girl In A Coma – Bowery Ballroom – What better band to enjoy a heatwave with?

Thursday –  Marsha Ambrosius – Gramercy Theater – A fine r&b gal we don't hear enough from playing a terrific venue we don't get to often enough.

Friday – American Nightmare – Or is that Give up the ghost? Hard hard hardcore 

Saturday – Vans Warped Tour – Gets to Long Island

Sunday – B.O.B. – Highline – His secret show?
