Paste Party Pix...Shore Fire Clients & More at Mag Bash

Paste Magazine threw a party last night at the Knitting Factory in NYC to celebrate their March issue, featuring our own Norah Jones on the cover. Jay Farrar & Son Volt were the marquee surprise guest....they kept to searing rockers and they've never sounded better, with a set that featured mostly material from their last album 'Okemah and the Melody of Riot' and their upcoming March 6 release 'The Search,' plus a mind-blowing, rock star white -lighted encore of the Stones' Satanic Majesties space/psych "2000 Light Years From Home." Other Shore Fire clients in the house were upcoming "4 to Watch" subject Ryan Shaw, the begging/pleading New York soul singer who'd just played a packed showcase a few blocks uptown, and past "4 to Watch" pick Megan Hickey of The Last Town Chorus.

Here's a few photos from the evening:
