Maxwell's
Hoboken, NJ
Maxwell's is one of the few places in North Jersey that is a great place to catch a show. The crowd is quite young and it has a downtown, big-city vibe. We caught a bite and a couple of beers before seeing Phantagram and this is what we had:
Nachos. They were rather disappointing (skimpy on cheese and flavor).
Cheeseburger with fries. DJKung did not have much to say about it.
On a positive note, we do like the beer selection here.
And so we next met up with Ozzie Wan and The Faschiester to catch Phantogram. The performance space at Maxwell's is intimate, maybe fits less than a hundred people. The sound system is pretty good. Here's a short clip of Phantagram:
We greatly enjoyed the show... it was quite well produced despite being a two-member band (guitar, keyboards). Nice graphics too. Their big sound and mesmerizing rhythms were well-received.
