Syria + SUNY Purchase = Omar Souleyman @ Fall Fest

Here....Omar Souleyman
There...See His Show!
Where...Syria and the World


This past weekend, SUNY Purchase's Stoodent Center went in a frenzy over the most unique and feel good pop music. Syrian Pop-star Omar Souleyman played to the entire school, who in return cheered, danced and squeezed all together into an audience of hot mess. Souleman had a keyboardist lay down the beats with a two-tier keyboard setup. It was one of the gretest shows I have ever seen. BTW, I endlessly tried doing the shoulder dance featured in the video below. No one could figure it out haha.

Sing to Every Song. - Followup to Foals

Foals 10/1/10 w/ Esben and the Witch The show went great! I feel bad for those of you who did not come out and enjoy a little British invasion @ the Bowery Ballroom.
The concert opened with Esben and the Witch, who played a solid set. I never heard them before, but now I will have to download some of their stuff. To me they were a perfect compliment to the Foals. Not so much "math" rock for this group but more of The XX and Crystal Castles mix.
Check Em Out! --> Esben and the Witch
The Foals played non-stop and had me singing to every single song. They played everything I could have hoped for. Each song building and being more epic than the last. They even had a killer Encore!
