together pangea + the high curbs

Last weekend, I took the massive trip (30 minute drive from my house) down to Baltimore City to see one of my favorite bands ever. I've been catching Together Pangea's headlining shows in the DMV for close to 10 years now, moving from Metro Gallery in 2017 to Baltimore SoundStage in 2026, and everywhere in-between. On a co-headlining tour with The Red Pears and The High Curbs as the show's opener, all three California based bands put on an unforgettable performance. Take a lo

Following the release of his third album, Chasing The Chimera, and returning for the first time in a handful of years, it seems he’s more than glad to be back. The setlist was packed with new fan favorites, like lead single “How To Live” and “Small Town Joan of Arc,” off his latest album. He pointed out the origin of “Ghost in the Uniform” being that of a Covid-era si

NEW COLOSSUS RECAP

GALLERY, WORDS, AND PLAYLIST BY MADDIE BARKOCY New Colossus 2025 took place from March 4-9 in NYC across 12 Lower East Side venues and featured nearly 200 artists. During those six days, I was the closest I’ll ever be to being in multiple places at one time. I managed to hop between seven venues, listen to sets by 49 artists, and drink more frozen margarita/deli coffee power combos than were ever intended for consumption. And somehow I’m still having severe FOMO over the set

Daniel Seavey in Boston

Daniel Seavey brought his Second Wind tour to Boston, MA at Big Night Live. Seavey was speechless at the crowd’s energy, belting every lyric back to him. This was his biggest audience till date and fans flew from LA to see him. One of the favorite parts of the show is when he uses a loop pedal to perform a song he has never heard before. For the Boston show it was “She will be Loved” by Maroon 5. It is clear that Seavey is only getting started and to catch him on tour, click

Last week in Fort Lauderdale, I got the chance to photograph Mannequin Pussy at one of my favorite South Florida venues. This was my third time seeing the band and their energy and stage presence never do disappoint. The first time I caught them live was a few years ago in an intimate venue in Miami (Gramps, another one of my favorite South Florida spots). It is truly a pleasure to watch this band grow and play larger venues and various festivals. I am happy they again made
