Hoboken resident Marcus Robson, and other area DJ’s in the Underground House / EDM scene have formed a collective called “Industry Standard,” and have a gig at Carpe Diem (14th & Grand) this Friday.
See below to see what Marcus has to say about it!
“We are a small group of keen local music enthusiasts who have had many knock backs from bar owners over the years when we have tried to do something similar.
Joe Jones at Carpe Diem has been fantastic supporting what we are trying to do, and the venue is great for creating an intimate, underground atmosphere.
We are doing our second night at Carpe Diem this Friday. Come and check it out!”
Here’s a sample of the kind of music they might play:
It goes from 9pm to 3am – and there is NO cover. See more at http://industrystandardevents.tumblr.com/
A very special concert experience for music lovers comes to the stage at the wonderfully intimate Right Angle Art Gallery, located at 1108 Washington Street in Hoboken, NJ.
Tonight at 7pm, the acclaimed “Argentine guitar master” Francisco “Pancho” Navarro will perform in concert a selection of original and classic Latin American compositions plus a taste of Argentine tango in its purest essence.
Francisco was born in 1944 in La Consulta, a township in Mendoza, Argentina’s wine state. He trained as a classical guitarist, but his abilities extend beyond playing the guitar, as he is a consummate arranger and singer. Over time, he brought his guitar all over South America and Mexico. In Mexico City, he performed with highly acclaimed artists, such as Armando Mansanero, Bebu Silvetti, Cristian Castro, Vicente Fernandez, Lucha Villa, Cuco Sanchez, Miguel Acevez Mejia, Maria de Lourdes, Guadalope Pineda, Rosita Quintana, Veronica Castro and Hugo Jordan.
For reservations call the Right Angle Art Gallery at 201-942-9220.
There almost wasn’t a concert at all tonight, as Pedro Javier González was originally scheduled, but had to cancel. Nice that Pablo from Right Angle came through anyway!
Here’s a bonus video for you to enjoy regardless if Pedro couldn’t show up!
Hoboken NJHoboken resident David Laubach started a band called Koala Force two years ago – and is excited to share some upcoming tour dates with readers.
David said “One of the unique things about our band is that we each have our own distinct influences. For example, the drummer grew up listening to punk and hip-hop, the bassist is really into hardcore and metal, one guitarist grew up in Seattle and only likes indie bands, and the other can play every Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry song ever written.
When we put those different backgrounds together, we end up just trying to find a common ground where we all agree that something sounds good. As a band who has been together for almost two years and played just two live shows, having a good time playing the music for ourselves is the most important part about making it. If it wasn’t fun, we wouldn’t do it. We may not be the best at playing our instruments or writing love songs and we’re probably only the second best-looking band in the US right now, but we have more fun playing music together than any other band in the world. Last year, someone reviewing the Hoboken Music Awards nominees wrote that “Hoboken isn’t just about boys with loud guitars anymore.”
Well, we are those boys with the loud guitars.“
Here’s a few tracks you can listen to (along with a video below):
