AFTER THE JUMP FEST 2008

2008-06-26T09:24:00.000-07:00

Every year, NYC's music blogger coalition After the Jump calls on all of its resources to put together a giant music festival on the first day of summer. This year, The Musebox was proud to promote and be a part of After the Jump Fest 2008.

This year's festival turned out to be tremendous success, an amazing day filled with music, free ice cream, and fun in the sun. Referred to by Brooklyn Radio as a “proverbial spice cabinet,” After the Jump Fest 2008, the effort 20 New York City music bloggers to help new bands gain exposure, featured a multitude of bands at their best. Among the performers were Health, Titus Andronicus, and The Musebox’s own Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears.

After the Jump Fest 2008 was able to raise more than $3,000 for Donors Choose and Education Through Music, charities that provide New York City schools with funding and programming.

Spin Magazine
"After the Jump Fest Invades Brooklyn: Pela, the Forms, Ponytail, and many more hit the streets on summer's boiling solstice and stir a welcomed commotion."

Brooklyn Radio
"At the end of the night, I felt like I had seen 16 different shows in one day, but somehow they all possessed a certain cohesion that I can't explain. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life, and After the Jump Fest was the proverbial spice cabinet."

Baeble Music
"All in all the festival was a fantastic success; a multitude of bands got exposure, and tons of fans came out to enjoy music on the streets and inside MHOW"

Tokyo Police Club - #1 most blogged about band!

2008-05-14T07:48:00.000-07:00

It's time to break out the champagne, as Tokyo Police Club just hit #1 on elbo.ws blog charts! These guys have definitely found the magical formula for sparking blog attention, releasing new songs, videos, remixes, and more just about every week! As our friends over at Stereogum put it best in their recent post,

"TPC are masterminding the duration of their blog buzz in powerful ways so take notes, young bands. Start with a remarkable EP. Follow that with another. Then put out a video for practically every track, including one that predicts the apocalypse is coming next year. Record a fairly enjoyable debut album. Make sure to give away a free MP3. Use big words. Release a "remix one week, chase that with a proper video the next. Umm, duh?"

Check out all the new goodies below!

In A Cave mp3
Juno mp3

"Tessellate" music video

The MuseBox Monthly on Brooklyn Vegan

2008-03-20T12:17:00.000-07:00

RSVP NOW kids, Here's what Brooklyn Vegan had to say about The MuseBox Monthly, happening TONIGHT!!!

"Musebox is holding their monthly at 205 featuring Pink Skull, James F!@$%^ Friedman and Johnny Cocco, and it's $5 at the door or free if you RSVP now at http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifrsvp@themusebox.net. While Pink Skull is just deejaying, and not doing one of their energetic live performances, the band's diverse influences, numerous side projects, and recent remixes should provide the makings of a good set." - Brooklyn Vegan

read the full article here:

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2008/03/the_week_in_dan_34.html

Oh, and let's not forget myopenbar.com:

Pink Skull played a Myopenbar/Finger on the Pulse party at Glasslands a few months ago. Now they're headlining a gig (DJ set only) for music marketing company the Musebox. Expect: bullshit giveaways (clothes and condoms), free booze, and DJ sets by James F!@$%^ Friedman and Johnny Cocco.

As I spent an hour in the Greenpoint post office line today, trying desperately to block out the incessant cries of five babies, I thought, condoms are so cheap! And sometimes they're free, too -- maybe those giveaways aren't such bullshit after all.

Paramore Loves Edison Glass!

2008-02-29T08:17:00.000-08:00

If you haven't heard the name Paramore recently, you're either way old or dead. The band first popped up during the credits for MTV's bevy of reality shows, getting key exposure to their ideal audience every half hour on the dot. Now the band is like totally the biggest thing on Earth. So, we were pretty excited to hear that Paramore drummer Zac Farro chose Edison Glass as "Paramore's Tip for 2008" in a recent conversation with UK outlet Rocklouder. Check out Zac's full stamp of approval for Edison Glass HERE
