Save The Date: After The Jump, June 21


In a few short months, it will be Summer and that means the second annual After the Jump Fest! Bigger, better with even more acts and surprise guests, this year the festival takes place along side the city wide music event, Make Music New York (which itself is a part of the worldwide music phenomenon that takes place in 300 cities in 108 countries) on the first day of Summer, June 21st.

After the Jump Fest is the effort of 20 New York City music bloggers whose goal is to help new artists gain exposure while raising money for struggling school music programs. This year, After the Jump is teaming up with The Music Hall of Williamsburg and Galapagos Art Space for a festival stretching from noon until last call. In the next few months, After the Jump blogs will be making more announcements about the festival including new artists and pre-parties. Stay tuned and in the mean time, check out AftertheJumpFest.com for information on our past events and mark your calendars! It's going to be a doozy.

after the jump!

I'm back! And more busy than ever. Oy, it never ends, right? Well one of these days I'll say I'll blog every day and actually mean it, although with the way my life is going these days I'm not sure when that will happen. But, of course, I'll try my best to keep you posted.

London was wonderful and Pat survived the whole going to another country thingy. I always feel like I need a vacation after a vacation. It would be nice to have a couple days to do absolutely nothing. I didn't realize how much I missed my mom's cooking, so that was a definite plus. I wish I could get out there to see them more than I do, but again -- time is never on my side.



But of course, I cannot let another day go by without letting you know all the details about the After The Jump Festival that is going down this Saturday, August 25 at Studio B in Brooklyn. It's been a busy couple months for a group of 22 of New York's bloggers and it's all coming down to Saturday night. Underrated favorites and my good friends Jukebox The Ghost and Ra Ra Riot will be playing the FREE daytime show, along with a slew of other great bands, so come on down. And stay late for the dance party. It's totally worth your $12 (which all goes to a good cause.)
