More Fog. More Lasers. More Ham. Less Sleep: New York’s...
When I hear the word “crew” used to describe a group of musicians, my first instinct is that the reason for the crew is to make up for some lacking in the crew members. For New York’s Trouble & Bass, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

If I had thought that activity would be an indication of the excitement level for the rest of the night’s activities, I suppose I would have stayed there. I knew what was up though. Youth Brigade was coming to town that night and also screening their documentary Let Them Know, which is a history of Youth Brigade and BYO Records. … read more
