My guitar is on fire

It’s too hot to hold

It’s burning my fingers

I wish it were cold

Priceless.

PSRS PARIS FINAL CONCER 2012 PICS!

Ed Alcock, one of our PSRS PARIS Dads, also happens to be a professional photographer and snapped some amazing photos from our first final concert in Paris in January. All the bands did a phenomenal job and the 100+ crowd was hungry for more. Lucky for them, we’ll be taking the stage again at the end of this semester.

End Of An Era

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:42:00 -0500

PSRS was very sad to hear that Southpaw, one of Brooklyn’s premiere rock clubs, was closing its doors for good. Mikey and the crew at Southpaw hosted two of our final concerts for PSRS and we had a blast. Gentrification can be a drag. Check out a video below of one of our bands playing the stage in 2009. RIP!

The Grammys sure have lost their edge in the last few years, but Dave Grohl cut through all the politics and sales figures and addressed what making music is all about. And we love him for it. Maybe he’d like to teach at PSRS? Go Dave!

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:28:17 -0500

After a hugely successful final show at Rockwood Stage 2, our Brooklyn students entered the studio to record their original songs from this past semester. The Bunker Studio, a new 3,000 sq ft. recording studio in Williamsburg, was an amazing host for the day. Co-owner Aaron Nevezie was at the helm, giving our students a lesson in how the studio works and getting them to play some great takes. The kids nailed it like pros!

All these songs will soon be available to download from our Bandcamp page and all proceeds of the sale will benefit a local music charity. More info will surely come on that soon!
