Buzz Status for NYC Bands
Just move here? Attending NYU? Considering an apartment in Williamsburg but nervous about the neighborhood? Coolfer has a guide to help people just like you know if you're somewhere cool or not:
- Not Much Buzz - If the band is doing a showcase at Arlene's Grocery or Sin-e and there are a lot of younger A&R reps hanging out in the back of the club, it doesn't mean anything. Showcases are a dime a dozen.
- Definite Buzz - You see any one of the Strokes pressing the flesh at the Mercury Lounge. Or somebody from Interpol. Those guys are always ahead of the curve.
- The Buzz Is Over - By the time the NY Times writes about it, you can rest assured the buzz is old news.
