What seemed to be an intimate setting at the Musical Hall of Williamsburg was quickly bursting with bodies once VHS Collection took the stage. Fans packed into the hall for Brooklyn’s very own VHS Collection. With their homecoming, the NYC natives found themselves back where it all started, and the energy could be felt throughout […]
Concerts where you go in knowing little about what the crowd or music will be like is one of my favorite ways to find new music. Some of my new favorite artists have come from opening acts I knew nothing about. For me, I knew very little about CHON before seeing them in Detroit last […]
