2012 Coachella Day 2: Dragonette, Azealia Banks, The Big Pink, Feist, The Shins, Miike Snow

Posted on April 16, 2012 by CenterOrch

Lesson learned at this year’s Coachella: get out there early.  Sure,easier to act on when its 70 degree weather versus 100, but it’s a travesty about the music you miss when you come out late.  I got to the fairgrounds at 1 p.m. Saturday to see my beloved Dragonette.  Context:  on the Monday before Coachella [...]

Hanging Out With Top Bananas: Dragonette at Brooklyn Bowl

Posted on April 26, 2010 by CenterOrch

How my heart has grown for the Canadian/British electro-pop group Dragonette.  They’re the little pop band that could, can and will go all the way.  It’s Sunday night at the super-chic Brooklyn Bowl, and I’m lucky to meet up with singer-songwriter Martina Sorbara, bassist and producer Dan Kurtz (also Martina’s husband) and drummer Joel Stouffer [...]
