| The
NY PRESS hosted it's first ever "Rock Off" on Monday,
November 13th. Day Glow, The GoStation, Locksley, and Hepburn
all played sets, competing for the title of best unsigned
band. While the opening set by Day Glow was less than impressive,
The GoStation and Locksley followed with exceptional performances.
The GoStation shoegazed the crowd with a sound reminiscent
of classic Stone Roses and Oasis, while Locksley's '60s melodies
won over the judges (later being named winner of the battle
of bands). Hepburn pretty much turned in a cookie-cutter modern
rock performance with occasional flashes of something unique.
After Locksley was named best unsigned band, the small crowd
that remained was lucky enough to see headliner, The Picture
prove why their one of NYC's best kept secrets. See
the flyer I designed for the event here. |
