Video from this past Thursday’s Sondre Lerche show at Bowery. New song, “I Guess It’s Gonna Rain Tonight”:

My computer power cord snapped this morning, so unfortunately my videos are held hostage at the moment, but last night’s Sondre Lerche show at Bowery Ballroom was charming as per usual. Hopefully a photo will do for now:

Sondre tested out four new songs he’s been working on, including “Heartbeat Radio,” and the “world premiere” of [...]

One of my favorite things about the TriBeCa Film Festival is that it’s a relatively low-key event. Basically the only time I remember it’s going on is when I see people walking around with those big stupid purplish badges slung around their necks as if to say, “No, I don’t know how to blend in, [...]

Ever since he scampered onto the screen as Mr. Tumnus in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, James McAvoy has been on my shortlist of most favorite movie star crushes. Sorry, but I’m a sucker for pale, blue-eyed Scottish boys. Throw in the fact that he’s wee (James is only 5′7″) AND has [...]

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing Sondre Lerche at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ, for the last show of his month-long tour promoting the Dan In Real Life soundtrack.
Got home a little late (and fell asleep watching the latest Dexter online), so more thoughts/pictures later.

Hooray!

I was so thrilled when I heard that Sondre Lerche was coming out with a new album in October. I was even more thrilled when I heard that the album was actually the soundtrack for a major motion picture by Peter Hedges (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape) called Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carrell and [...]

Yesterday night I went to go see one of my favorite musicians, Sondre Lerche, do a gig at New York City’s Webster Hall. Sondre was performing in support of his new album, Phantom Punch, on Astralwerks Records.
It was thrilling to see Sondre playing such a large space to the totally devoted crowd. His fanbase is [...]

Check out Sondre Lerche’s brand spankin’ new website, and his video for “Say It All”, the single off his upcoming new album, Phantom Punch. In it, Sondre plays a virtual reality karaoke game. He chooses to be a 42-year-old male singing in his living room. Different strokes for different folks, I guess…

He’s also got a [...]
