Quiet Company in Williamsburg

Image
'Quiet Company' performed at the Knitting Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Sunday March 24. This band wasn't the only one entertaining the audience that night, there were three other bands playing: Prawn, Gates and Caravela. It was obvious the bigger part of the audience traveled to Williamsburg to see the Austin based band 'Quiet Company', since there was great interaction between the band and the audience. The band made sure their fans sang along every word and danced to their indie-alternative songs. This made their performance more alive than their last New York City gig. It's clear the band has been on tour for a long period of time since the band was better prepared and the songs were better rehearsed. This could have something to do with their SXSW performance a couple weeks ago. Also, the band has a new album coming up, due next month!

Milow @ Rockwood Music Hall NYC

Belgian sensation 'Milow' alias Jonathan Vandenbroeck performed at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City last night. With only 50 attendees it was a total different scene than 'Milow' concerts in Europe, selling out a venue 3 nights in a row. 'Milow' moved to Los Angeles, California to promote his career in the U.S. where he's not a superstar but just one of the many musician trying to sell their music.  He promoted his music with old- as well as new songs. The old songs the audience knew by heart and sang along as loud as they could. The first one was his 2007 break-through hit single "You Don't Know", followed by his cover of Justin Timberlake and 50Cent "Ayo Technology". He did not mimic 50Cent by rapping but transformed the song into a up-tempo acoustic piece. If you're eager to find out how this sounds, here's the link: http://bit.ly/14CRXc2 Milow already proved to Europe he has a lot in store, now it'
