DigiFest NYC 2014!

With Midnight Red!
DigiFest was last weekend but I figured I'd still write a post about it! Aside from all the craziness, it was so much fun! I attended DigiFest with a press pass (covering for Popstar! Magazine) and that really saved me a lot of trouble. I got to hang behind the stages, near the tour buses, so it was a lot easier to have access to all these people! I got to chat with some of the rising YouTube/Vine stars and they were so much fun to hang out with! It's really so mind-blowing to see how crazy fans go for these people! It was a day of some serious fan-girling LOL! Of course, I had to snag a couple of selfies with all of them!


I ran into some of the O2L boys near their tour buses! They were all super sweet! P.S the boys have a poster in the latest issue of Popstar! Magazine so make sure you pick up a copy!

Chatted with these beauties, Rebecca Black & Lisa Cimmorelli!


Got to chat with Vine stars Nash Grier, Carter Reynolds & Cameron Dallas for a few minutes! They're super sweet and gave such an awesome interview. Nash & Cam even have a spread in an upcoming issue!



Andrea Russett & I!
With SDK's Jonah Green!

M o t h e r - Live At The Mercury Lounge!



Penn & I after the show!
 To be honest, I can't remember what life was BEFORE listening to M o t h e r. They've got such a cool vibe going on and their songs are SO good. The lead singer, Penn Badgley, may look familiar to you.. That's because he's Dan Humphrey a.k.a lonely boy from Gossip Girl! Even though it's awesome to see Dan Humphrey in the flesh, Penn has come such a long way from his Gossip Girl days. Now, he's kicking some serious ass in the music biz. The band premiered the lyric video to their first single, 'Easy' on Nylon Mag's website. (I'll include that down below.) The vocals and the instrumentals in this song make you happy that you're even alive to listen to it. Is that too much? Anyways, the band killed it during their set at the Mercury Lounge (6/5/14)!  I'm definitely looking forward to the band's return to the city, I'll for sure be attending other shows! I got the chance to meet him after the show and he was just as sweet as I expected him to be! P.S as I was leaving the crowd that night, I bumped into Shameless' Jeremy Allen White! Gotta love NYC, right?! Take a look at some of the videos I recorded from the show that night!




Here's the lyric video for 'Easy' : (Buy the single here!)




Oh, and here's my pic with Jeremy just in case you wanted to see it!

Alex & Sierra: Live At The NY Seaport!

Where do I even begin? This talented duo is the epitome of true musicianship! Ya'll may or may not already know this but I'm currently an editorial intern at Popstar! Magazine so I got the chance to sit down and talk to these two before their New York hangout! It was such a blast to hear them talk about their new single, Scarecrow, and hear the influences behind their upcoming debut album. These two are seriously the sweetest people in the music biz - I kid you not! I think I spent around ten minutes with them and I already felt like I was one of their best friends! P.S they're probably one of the most good looking couples I've ever been around. I mean, really, I've been in love with THEIR love since their X Factor audition! But no worries, I think I managed to keep my cool during the interview! ;) I'm currently editing the interview video (I'll be posting it on Popstar!'s YouTube channel) but I'll try to update this post with the video as soon as I possibly can for you guys! Until then, I've uploaded some fun videos of their performance so check it out! Stay tuned for more information on their upcoming album!


SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE: I've created a new Instagram account (@vcsconcerts) just for the sole purpose of posting concert videos/photos! YAY! I still update my personal account (@xonessa) with concert videos but a lot of my followers don't seem to appreciate me flooding their IG feed with videos of Alex & Sierra, Fifth Harmony, etc. LOL! So, if you're a fan of all things music (I'm sure you are since you're reading this blog!), then feel free to follow me there! I'll be posting tons of pics and videos from whatever concert I'm at. Here's some clips I took from A&S' performance!

 
The full-length version of each song is up on my YouTube channel!

Have you seen the lyric video for their single, "Scarecrow"?! It's so adorable!

The actual music video has already been shot will be coming out by the end of the month! Here's some sneak pic photos from the set:


Thanks for the love, A&S!
