Memorial Day weekend is only a little more than a week away -- meaning it's time to head out east for sun, sand, and the surf. What better way to set the mood than with the perfect playlist on your road trip (or train or Jitney ride) out there? Check out these 10 recently released tracks that will put in the summer mood (and put you ahead of the rest of the music nerds) this summer.

Summer is coming to an end, but the parties are just heating up! You know you have made it safely into after hours when there are few things going on around you... More»

This summer was an epic fail as far as concerts go (and that's putting it mildly) and now that the weekend is looming closer, we can't help but think of all the things we were looking forward to at the Music To Know (MTK) festival... but then we started thinking about all the things we weren't looking forward to. So here it is, what we will and most definitely will not miss about the MTK music festival. More»

Wait a second, did we miss something? When The Vaccines played their set at Escape to New York they got into a fight at the end and security came out. Apparently, the lead singer strangled the guitarist with a bra someone threw on stage, and then the guitarist ran into him twice. The lead singer put his elbow up and caught him in the face twice. Next, the guitarist ran and jumped into the drum kit, and as he got up pushed the drummer super hard. Was this staged? Was it for real? Any ideas? Lets us know! We want the deets! [Photo via]

We know music festivals are all about dressing up like a looney toon and dancing around in mounds of mud. However, we saw some things at Escape To New York that may even surprise the most well versed festival goer... More»

Hamptonites hotly anticipated how the battle of the festivals would turn out this summer -- and, unfortunately, a battle didn't even get to happen. Finding out the disappointing news that the Music To Know festival (which was scheduled for this upcoming weekend) was cancelled around 4pm on Saturday because of low ticket sales was a bummer enough, but then, when the Escape to New York festival cancelled it's last day due to inclement weather, we were ready to pull our hair out. So what happened here? With the Hamptons being known as a hubbub for artists and creative minds, why couldn't these musical festivals survive out east?

Armed with poppy melodies and a band uniform of denim and button downs, The Postelles are doing their best to bring back tradition to rock 'n' roll. With noted influences such as Buddy Holly and Amy Winehouse, the band is on a mission to stay away from the electronic sounds commonly heard today, and go back to the early days of doo wop and rock. The boys, Daniel Balk (lead vocals), Billy Cadden (drums), David Dargahi (lead guitar), and John Speyer (bass guitar), grew up in Manhattan, and decided to form a band in high school (Billy had to be recruited from a rival band). Soon the band was booking shows at the Bowery Electric and even catching the attention of Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes... More»

Wowzas! The line up for Music To Know just keeps growing. We mentioned how Royal wedding singer Ellie Goulding was added to the highly anticipated event, and with just over a week until the festival, the line-up may be getting the Hollywood royal touch with the addition of (drum roll please) Gwyneth Paltrow!

We have kept you in the loop with everything from the changing line-up to the high end pop up shopping experience that will be happening at East Hampton's Music To Know festival. With the festival just weeks away, all the excitement has been met with some caution from residents surrounding the area out of fear that Music To Know may bring along too much chaos. More»

On Friday, local legend Nancy Atlas strummed her guitar with her band at Navy Beach in Montauk. The sun was shining, the weather was hot, but the view was killer and the music was pure summer -- evoking that sensation of relaxed mellow-ness that everyone loves about Montauk.

Saturday night, Deer Tick played a free live show at The Backyard of Solé East resort as a preview to the MTK festival happening in August. As a huge fan of the band, I'm aware of their usual debauchery on stage (lead singer John McCauley once ate a flower I threw on stage). But this time, the band shook up the crowd of East Enders (which included the Olsen twin's kid sister Lizzie) with a little nudity. More»
