I am the Avalanche
Saves the Day
Bayside
I was eagerly anticipating watching Bayside perform with Saves the day & I am the Avalanche at Irving Plaza last week. Their new album, Killing Time, has been blaring through my headphones since I downloaded it. (Really) A few friends also happened to be going to the show which made it 10x better. Saves the Day put on a great show and it seemed like they played a lot of older music meshed with new to keep the crowd singing along. The highlight for me was watching Vinnie Caruana of I am the Avalanche perform, which never dissapoints. I recently saw him play an acoustic set at Angels & Kings, and I will say that he was slightly less drunk at Irving Plaza and even more amazing on the Irving stage. I think it was worth the 5 year wait for their album's release, but Vinnie please don't make us wait another 5 years for your follow up. Bayside killed it of course and kept me singing along through their set.
On to Saturday night ... the girls and I hopped on the L to the Williamsburg Music Hall for a fun high school throwback music night to see Cartel and Hot Rod Circuit. The venue was super nice, with a downstairs bar/lounge and an intimate vibe upstairs. I definitely will be back to catch a show and hangout in WB.
