A few weeks back, singer songwriter Nicole Atkins took us on a tour of her town Asbury NJ...introducing us to the boardwalk, Bruce Springsteen's Stone Pony, and even a kooky vintage shop that had pretty much any nickknack you can imagine (and which inspired is to play dress-up in kimonos and top-hats for the camera). Meanwhile, I prodded her with questions of her childhood and music- while the ...
Remember a while back I did a post on Nicole Atkins, the native NJ singer-songwriter gem, with the stunning, deep voice and wicked sense of humor? And you moggers responded how she's 'fantastic', 'nice and hot' and one of you wants to work with her (fperdomo I am talking to you).Well- Nicole Atkins has officially joined MOG- so do the Mog honors, check out her site, and give her a warm hello~!...
--- - |- I'm not sure why it has taken me over two weeks to post this review but here it is. (Actually, I do know why. The musical Altar Boyz - which I've been musically directing and playing keyboards for - opened this weekend and have been crazy busy with that.) But here I am, reviewing Nicole Atkins because frankly it was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. It was also the coldest ...

When I saw that Nicole Atkins & The Sea were doing a free outdoor concert at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, NY on the 17th of June - I just had to go - right? I mean - come on! This was a Nicole Atkins show. And the Sea. She (and they) are amazing and I try never to miss any shows she does in New York, if at all possible. So I called up my friend "Qtie" and we headed on down to this park j...
I've been into the music of Nicole Atkins & The Sea for a while now.In October of 2007 I witnessed the much advertised and anticipated appearance of Nicole Atkins & The Sea at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY. Prior to the announcement of this tour, I wasn't aware of who she or this band was – however, I soon discovered that I did have bit of a clue as I had already seen the American Express commercia.

This morning Matablog set forth some details on the second solo effort from Porn maestro A.C. Newman. The follow-up to 2004's revisit-worthy, pop-lovely The Slow Wonder is slated for an early '09 release and will feature Superchunk's Jon Wurster along with fellow indie rock choir mates Nicole Atkins and Mates Of State. (Phil Palazzo gets a recording credit for the Brooklyn sessions.) The first ...
Have you guys ever heard of Nicole Atkins? The first time I met her was in a dingy basement backstage of Mercury Lounge in NYC...she was chilling with my friends Dax Riggs and one of us bummed a cigarette from one another and bitched how bad we wanted to quit. (We both since have- save a couple drunken nights) Since then, we've become friends and she's quite a charmer and fire sparker- born, ba...
