The creation of Bumble and Bumble stylists, Massimo DiCicco and Dawn Bruckner (aka Roni), Salon Firefly offers a downtown experience in upscale Larchmont, right here in Westchester.
I happen to be good friends with Massimo and when they opened their doors over a year ago, we threw a little placeholder page up for them but I knew it was only a matter of time before he realized he needed a real website.
I'm happy to say, the new site is up and running.
The site is cool, clean and it clearly ain't cheap, which is a good reflection of his business.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood and you're looking for a new look, stop in and tell him Artgig sent you.

Have I ever mentioned that Chris Tarry may be the most prolific artist I know?
The dude is like a tasmanian devil of creativity–just this whirlwind of music and thoughts and writing and um...creative stuff.
So we just expanded his site (yeah, we actually en-widened it) to make room for some new features like his writing (as in fiction - found in "Writings") and a Message Board to get a little one-on-one with the man himself.
And let me take this opportunity to congratulate Chris on the release of a new live album, Live at The Birds Eye, recorded in Switzerland - available now as a download exclusively on his website!

Our Australian correspondent, Lis, saw Coldplay in Sydney over the weekend.
Here's what she had to say:
It was awesome - Chris Martin has a very genuine, almost childish enthusiasm - very contagious. I wouldn't say their show was the cutting edge of live performance (lots of lights, some confetti, a bunch of balloons - the usual) but he certainly has a way of involving everyone - as if you were personally invited. There's only 4 of them - they don't even really fill up a stage. And Coldplay is Coldplay - great tunes, excellent performances, and uniquely Coldplay. So it was great.
The warm up bands were no-one - one group from Sydney, I think, and one from the Catskills (they were actually boasting about being from the Catskills - I guess they figured everyone would think it was some kind of major music destination). Bu neither of them had a vocalist - weird. They ended up sounding like each other. Most of the audience didn't show until Coldplay was announced.
