Award Winner 2005

Description

Webster Hall has existed for over a century, but this landmarked, three-story venue is not stuck in tradition: It caters to every possible form of nightlife that's popped up in the city since the venue was created. For club-hounds, weekly staples include campy dance party The Awesome '80s Prom and rave Circus. For concertgoers, main-stage booking is handled by indie-rock-and-beyond warlords Bowery Presents. With a disco ball crowning its center, Webster's 2,500-capacity Grand Ballroom was recently called "the best stage in New York City" by none other than Prince. And if it's good enough for him...

2005 | Best Defeat of Clear Channel

Not that there's anything wrong with overpriced tickets, $5 waters, and Hootie & the Blowfish reunion tours, but when Michael Swier and the Bowery Presents took over concert booking for WEBSTER HALL last August (the first show was Sonic Youth), for a second I thought the rock scene here was on the up again. Then the Bravery played there, then Bright Eyes, then the Decemberists. But hey, so did LCD--I'll take the bad with the better. More »

Awolnation

By RAYMOND CUMMINGS | Wed, May 09, 2012

Awolnation singer/songwriter Aaron Bruno cobbles together modern-rock tunes that are candy pop, hard as nails, and cathedral-huge: Aggro refrains choke on wafting choruses and kitchen-sink post-Beck song suites, but somehow it still all feels righ... More »
Mark Lanegan Band

By Kory Grow | Wed, May 02, 2012

All musicians aspire to create a mood with just a few notes, but few have succeeded quite like Mark Lanegan. Ever since his days with pre-grunge firebrands Screaming Trees (“Nearly Lost You”), his craggily voice need only hum and all the music aro... More »
SOUL SURVIVOR

By Mikael Wood | Wed, April 11, 2012

Michigan native Mayer Hawthorne executes his throwback r&b with so much period precision that a casual observer might assume the stuff was rescued from the vaults at motown. Listen closely, though, and Hawthorne starts distinguishing himself: "Fro... More »
Needtobreathe

By Mikael Wood | Wed, April 11, 2012

Something like the midpoint between Kings of Leon and the Civil Wars, these South Carolina folk-rock dudes spent much of last year opening arena shows for Taylor Swift. Now they’re out on their own, trying to turn famous-friend buzz into a real-de... More »
NEVER SAY NEVER

By Nick Murray | Wed, April 11, 2012

Esperanza Spalding's large ensemble r&b/soul/jazz fusion isn't the most offensive music out there, but that didn't protect her from the fury of a thousand teenagers scorned when she beat out Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist award at the 2011 ... More »
