  • Ian and Chad at The Standard Hotel

    Ian and Chad is the new name for what used to be known as Ian Axel (which always featured Chad Vaccarino). Last night they headlined a show at The Standard Hotel (formerly known as The Cooper Square Hotel). They announced it as their first show of 2012. If you accept the notion of […]

  • Ian and Chad in a Secret Show at Rockwood Music Hall

    What happens when Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino drop their last names? Awesomeness! It’s not quite official, but it’s not embargoed either, but the artist formerly known as Ian Axel will soon be known as Ian and Chad. Click that link to see how Ian describes the name change. Basically, it more accurately […]

  • Happy Ending Music and Reading Series at Joe’s Pub

    Since the remodel, we seem to be racking up the frequent flyer miles at Joe’s Pub. We were back there again last night for something different than our usual fare. The Happy Ending Music and Reading Series is founded, curated, hosted and produced by Amanda Stern. It’s been going on for a while […]

  • Rock Talk with Ian Axel at Feinstein’s Hosted by Phil Lipof

    Another Monday, another excruciatingly difficult choice of shows to see. There were four can’t miss ones all going on at the same time. This week’s calculus was radically different than last, but after crunching the numbers, we ended up selecting the same group of performers. Ian Axel appeared on Rock Talk, hosted by […]

  • Ian Axel at Cooper Square Hotel

    This is CMJ week in NYC. Think of it as our SXSW (since I’ve never to been to the real SXSW, I won’t compare them). That means that there are a ton of choices to see amazing music all day and night, for 7+ days. That makes it even more difficult than it […]

  • Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2

    Last night was Bess Rogers CD Release Party for Out of the Ocean. It was a three-hour, three-act show. I’m going to post about each act separately. Ian Axel was the middle act. He started playing seconds after Allie Moss walked off the stage. For people that know Ian’s music, it was obvious […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at Jammin Java

    Another night, another stop on the Intergalactic Tour of the Universe and Beyond Tour. It wasn’t originally meant to be, but when the Universe (and Beyond!) wants something, it makes it happen. Two years ago, Richmond CenterStage opened with a big gala celebration. I covered one of the nights. Last night was a […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at a House Concert

    Last night was our third time in four days seeing Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss perform (no big deal, don’t be too jealous). The last two shows were part of the Intergalactic Tour of the Universe and Beyond Tour. All three shows were unique because the venues were so different, as […]

  • Ian Axel, Bess Rogers and Allie Moss at The Falcon

    We love surprising musicians by showing up in places they’d never expect us. It’s way more fun when the venue is new to us and everything we read makes us think it will be a favorite, instantly. Such was the case last night. Having just seen Ian Axel the night before (Tuesday) at […]

  • Ian Axel at Bowery Ballroom

    Continuing with the pattern started in my last post about The Spring Standards, I am separating this one out from the other two sets at last night’s Bowery Ballroom show. Ian Axel co-headlined Bowery Ballroom on May 24th, 2011 with The Spring Standards. Last night he co-headlined with Rosi Golan. Since that night, […]
