Celebrating the return of live music with Small Black @ the Echoplex on 08.20.21
Well, shit ... it's about fucking time. I honestly had no idea how much I've missed live music until I attended my first show in something like 17 months. It feels like a lifetime has gone by. Last Friday, I had the chance to catch East Coast chillwave act Small Black at the Echoplex in …

I caught this one on the way home from work, stuck in traffic, head in the clouds, thinking about taking a run on the beach, and what to eat for dinner. None of that has much to do with anything related to Sterling Grove's sexy smooth groove "La Vigie" … except for maybe my mindset. …
