Look Out for Kid Chocolate
One of the more satisfying moments in booking concerts is watching an opener surpass your own expectations and engage an audience on first listen. Last weekend, Kid Chocolate did just that. Though their influences are obvious (I’m looking at you, Vampire Weekend), Kid Chocolate has a unique sound and a great live show.

Which is just as cool as playing real instruments, and musical talent isn’t a prerequisite. Check out photos of the winners – RISD students Molly and [...]

A Bundle of Weezer News

The World
In other news, Weezer just announced that Rivers Cuomo is doing much [...]
