I spent last Sunday with a few very talented bands. The Mosers being one (interview of lead singer Mikey here), Night Riots, and the very talented band of Young Rising Sons. Heard of them? Probably. They have a few good hits out like ‘High’ and ‘Fucked-Up’, which when used in the same sentence can often describe my Saturday night. They also went out on tour with 1975 last year, where famously Taylor Swift was seen cheering on then boyfriend Matt Healy at our own Terminal 5. Slay Taylor, slay.

Now something you might not know about the guys, they hail from Red Bank NJ. I’ve said this before but Farley roots are there, so of course I had to see what they were about. I was not disappointed. Lead singer Andy, though not from NJ (I forgive you), has a great voice and the band is solid (they’ve known each other for a long time- so it makes sense). Before their set, YRS came on stage when The Mosers played “Friend” and you could tell as soon as Andy hit the stage- high pitched squeeks erupted from the crowd. The fans love him and you could tell he loved them as well.

The guys played an awesome set all around but a few favorites of mine were ‘Turnin”, “American Renegade”, and “Coming Home”. What a fun show. Constant dancing, people everywhere screaming the lyrics, and Julian and Dylan killing it in front of me on the guitar.

YRS played ‘Somebody’ acoustically, which is one of my favorite things in the world. They invited both Night Riots and The Mosers to sing along for this one, and it was glorious. At the back end of the tour and probably ready to kill each other- these three bands came together, shared one stage, and looked out to a beaming crowd. It was a magical moment. YRS ended the set with ‘Fucked-Up’ and Andy jumping on the speaker.

Trying to get an interview nailed down with the guys on what is next for YRS. Stay tuned my friends.

We’re back with free tickets to Brooklyn Bowl and I couldn’t be more excited about this show. We’ve got Chrome Canyon, Computer Magic, Avan Lava & Chateau Marmont throwing it down. The timing could not be better. Honestly, Chrome Canyon’s work reminds me a lot of the latest Daft Punk album. He’ll be melting faces Giorgio Moroder style this Friday June 14th and we’ve got two free passes right here.

If you’re not familiar with Chrome Canyon, you should be: “The solo project of Morgan Z, his formative music memories were beamed in through the living room TV set — Vangelis’ Blade Runner score, Wendy Carlos via Tron, Giorgio Moroder’s work on Cat People. He spent his youth on the outskirts of southern California’s San Fernando Valley. His folks had him on piano by 6.”

You had me at Giorgio.
