Neon Gold presented performances by MNDR, Brahms, and French Horn Rebellion, followed by a DJ set by of Chiddy Bang’s Xaphoon Jones. The great line-up had a two-hour wait to get in. | |  | DJ Sean Glass with Mumford & Sons singer and multi-instrumentalist Ben Lovett, who also curates Communion Music, performances in nine cities that expose people to music they would not hear anywhere else. The first US performance is this Sunday at Brooklyn’s Public Assembly, with six bands including Alex Winston, Emil & Friends, and Marques Toliver. | | | Blondes vs. Brunettes! | | |  | Last night we also went to the Alzheimer’s Association first annual NYC Blondes vs. Brunettes kickoff at Bar 29.
