Forged in the summer of 2012, Long Island’s Bears & Motorcycles began with three members: Dillon Mealey, Jeff Alvarado, and Brendan McGrath. The trio started writing raw, unpolished blues-rock in the backyard of a long island suburb in the heat of that summer. What soon would develop into heart wrenching anthems and fiery hooks had begun to take shape.

Within a few months two new members were added to complete the lineup. Professionally trained jazz/blues keys player Will Mahlan and the promising young drummer Jonathan Brick. With sounds drawing from the influences of the acid-washed, blues driven rock of the ’60s and ’70s and the catchy fervor of newer band from the 2000s and beyond this sound is something you can’t quite put your finger on.

Bears and Motorcycles won The Break Contest two weeks ago at the Encore Event Center in New Jersey and GameChanger is featuring the band’s music in a video game that will be released in early 2014.

More than 100 artists boasting a wide variety of musical styles (from alternative, rock, folk, pop, Americana, reggae, blues, jazz, bluegrass, to flamenco, rap, hip-hop, country, metal, and more), will be performing for free in the spirit of sharing original music with audiences and fellow musicians at this weekend’s event.

In its third year of production, the festival has cultivated an atmosphere of goodwill promoting local charities, connecting local New York “island” musicians with those from as far away as Vermont and California.  Music lovers and performers alike are drawn to the beautiful oceanside playground of Montauk to promote and share art.

1. Follow the coolest guy in the universe: Commander Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield on Twitter) arrived at the International Space Station in December for a 5-month tour of duty and ever since he’s talked Star Wars with William Shatner, dropped the puck for the Maple Leafs, performed with the Barenaked Ladies and chatted up the Queen of England—all from space, where the Canadian astronaut gets to see sunrise and sunset 16 times per day. No big deal. It’s just another day. He also dressed up for St. Patrick’s Day, showed how hard it is to do things like add salt and pepper to food, while sharing fantastic photos he takes daily from space. Follow this guy. He’s awesome, which means when you retweet him, you’ll be awesome, too.

2. Ride The Run: The latest addition to Splish Splash will debut Memorial Day weekend, and it’s the first-ever water ride in New York State featuring new generation hydromagnetic technology. Bootlegger’s Run will take a four-person raft through a series of drops, including one from nearly five stories high, while powerful electromagnetic fields propel the steel-bottomed rafts uphill, just like a roller coaster. “Imagine a cross between a whitewater raft ride and a roller coaster,” says Mike Bengtson, Splish Splash general manager. “Bootlegger’s Run is like a roller coaster that races on water instead of rails.” Sign us up!

3. Download Vine: Now, instead of telling your Facebook friends and Twitter followers what you ate for breakfast and sharing pictures of your bagel on Instagram, you can video yourself taking your first bite for the world to see. Vine lets you take 6-second looping videos using your phone that are easily shared through social media. So, whether you’re polishing off a bagel or filming a family of geese crossing the street, this will probably be your new addiction.

4. Meet Steve Schirripa: You probably know Schirripa as Bobby “Bacala” from HBO’s The Sopranos, but these days the Brooklyn-born actor, comedian and Goomba series author has bridged the gap from TV crime to real-world crime. Schirripa hosted two seasons of the Investigation Discovery series, Nothing Personal, and is now hosting Karma’s a B*tch! on the same network. Schirripa will sign copies of his latest book, Big Daddy’s Rules, on May 22 at Roslyn’s Bryant Library, on May 23 at the Book Revue in Huntington and on May 29 at Port Washington Public Library.

5. Drink Long Island Craft Beer: Uniting local breweries, restaurants, retailers and bars with beer enthusiasts, the 2013 annual Long Island Craft Beer Week will be a 10-day Island-wide celebration of beer, the making of beer, and the enjoyment of beer.  From May 10-19, local retailers and restaurants team up with their favorite breweries to host special events—pairings, tap takeovers, special menus, meet the brewer nights, and more—showing the local beer enthusiasts why they love craft beer. Visit www.longislandcraftbeerweek.com for a full rundown of events.

6. Read Murder on Long Island: A 19th Century Tale of Tragedy & Revenge: In 1854, James Wickham was a wealthy Cutchogue farmer with a large estate. He and his wife were later murdered by an ex-employee with an axe. The man was captured, and on Dec. 15, 1854, he became one of the last people to be hanged in Suffolk County. Written by the Southold Historical Society, this book documenting the murders can be purchased through the Southold Historical Society or Amazon.com.

7. Youtube How Animals Eat Their Food: So, two guys sit down at a table and start to eat their salads, when one asks, “Want to see how animals eat their food?” You can probably guess what happens next, so we won’t spoil the rest for you, but the flamingo and rhinoceros win, hands down.

8. Get Pixelated 8-Bit Glasses: For the old-school gamers out there who want to rock the kind of shades Super Mario would have in his hay day, hold on to your Atari stick. These sunglasses (Amazon, $9.99) laugh in the face of rounded edges and look pretty surreal in the 3-D world.

9. Check Out The Hot Baby Names for 2013: There are a ton of Johns and Marys already so maybe you’re looking for something a little different for your kids. What about Severine or Phaedra? Thor? Mingus? Are you cringing yet? Well, check out the rest of the list on Nameberry.com.

10. Celebrate Memorial Day! Pin on your poppies, slap on that red, white and blue, and fire up the grill!

But the first real commercial head-turning moment from English electropop singer-songwriter and DJ Little Boots’ second LP is the buzzing groovy disco-pop team-up with NYC heavy-hitters The Knocks, “Headphones” is an inspired loopy, sample-laden crossover. With remixes from house and garage producer Todd Edwards, French dance royalty Dimitri and pop-chanteuse Ronika, Little Boots is dominating the dance-pop scene.

Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo
A unique brand of ballet, dancing a fine line between high art and high camp, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo is a company of dancers performing the full range of the ballet and modern dance repertoire. Men dance all the parts—swans, sylphs, water sprites, romantic princesses, and angst-ridden Victorian ladies. The “Trocks” comedy is achieved by incorporating and exaggerating the foibles, accidents, and underlying incongruities of serious dance. Staller Center, Stony Brook University, Nicolls Road, Stony Brook. May 11

History of Bank Robbery
The first bank robbery in the United States occurred in Philadelphia in 1798. By the mid-19th century, bank robbers in urban areas became more and more sophisticated, cracking safes with precision tools and sometimes resorting to explosives. A race between the robbers and the safe manufacturers, similar to current technological battles with hackers, went on for years. Presented by Wilbur Miller, professor of history at Stony Brook University, this chronicle of bank robbery will highlight famous robbers and efforts to bring them to justice, from the Philadelphia criminals to Willie Sutton through the present day. Sachem Public Library, 150 Holbrook Rd., Holbrook. May 13

Beth Hart
In the late ’90s, Beth Hart garnered mainstream popularity after “LA Song (Out of This Town),” aired during the final season of Beverly Hills, 90210. Hart soon lost everything—her label, tours, TV appearances—while battling drug and alchohol addiction. It’s taken her about a decade to get back on her feet, but she’s done it. Earlier this year, at the Kennedy Center Honors, Beth Hart delivered the most riveting performance of the evening with Jeff Beck when they paid tribute to blues legend Buddy Guy. Beth’s rendition of “I’d Rather Go Blind” marked her first U.S. TV appearance in more than a decade. She blew everyone away, and her performance was received with a rare non-honoree standing ovation. With Christine Santelli. City Winery, 155 Varick St., Manhattan. May 13, 16 & 17

Paramore
Hammerstein Ballroom, 311 W. 34th St., Manhattan. May 16

Joe Bonamassa

Besides his solo work, Bonamassa has kept himself busy with the formation of the band Black Country Communion, featuring Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Billy Idol). Just in the past year, Bonamassa has put out two records and a DVD, and started a world tour. “I never get tired of it,” Bonamassa tells the Press. “I enjoy it, I’ve been doing this for 20 years at this point. It’s been a blessing and a real privilege.” Beacon Theatre, 2124 Broadway, Manhattan. May 16, 17 & 18

Floating chandeliers illuminate the plush VIP tables and state-of-the-art LED paneling, lasers and pyrotechnics bring each unique stage design to life.

The Punk Goes Acoustic Tour: Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) & Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls)
Glen Matlock has made indelible contributions to music as the original bass player with The Sex Pistols, formed the underrated Rich Kids, worked with a variety of artists ranging from Iggy Pop to fellow original School of ’76 Brit Punk Rockers, The Damned. Building on the Rolling Stones’ dirty rock & roll, Mick Jagger’s androgyny, girl group pop, the glam rock of David Bowie and T. Rex, and the Stooges’ anarchic noise, the New York Dolls created a new form of hard rock that presaged both punk rock and heavy metal. Their drug-fueled, shambolic performances influenced a generation of musicians in New York and London, who all went on to form punk bands. Tonight the duo comes together for a special acoustic set. City Winery, 155 Varick St., Manhattan. 212-608-0555. www.citywinery.com. April 1

The Bouncing Souls
For the past 25 years The Bouncing Souls have covered all territories, examined all subject matter and charged through explosive punk rock songs that reflect on almost everything. But now the New Jersey group will explore a new frontier: Space. The band’s new album, Comet, their ninth full-length studio release, showcases the fact that even after a quarter of a century the musicians can still find new artistic and musical ground. After a few late-night tour conversations about the 2012 end of the world prophecies, the band members penned a song called “Comet,” a track that grappled with the idea of living life to the fullest no matter when life might cease to continue. That track evolved into the disc’s title and cover art. With I Am the Avalanche, Mind Over Matter & Timeshares. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. April 4

I Had

I Had
Artist Jeremy Zierau blends street art influences with a fine art presentation, creating objects that lack purpose. The purpose of non-purpose is to create arbitrary conversations between the viewer and the object, to develop discernment in their approach to conceptualism, and art in a broader context. The works presented raise questions about the validity of art in today’s society, and also attempt to invalidate the idea that “anyone can be an artist.” Ripe Art Gallery, 67A Broadway, Greenlawn. www.ripeartgal.com. Opening reception: April 6 On display: Through May 4

Pop punkers All Time Low team up with Pierce the Veil for The Spring Fever Tour 2013. ATL’s latest album, Don’t Panic, debuted at No.6 on the Billboard Top 200. “With this record, a big part of the process was finding what made our band special on each of our past records,” says singer/guitarist Alex Gaskarth. “This time around, rather than taking influence from anything we were listening to at the time—or anything we want to touch on generationally—the goal was to make an album that we felt reflected the best aspects of our previous releases.” With Mayday Parade & You Me At Six.
