A place where legends have graced the stage, continuing our search for
L3gaci’s new and old our train stopped at Terminal 5. Only a short distance from Columbus circle, located in midtown Manhattan. Terminal 5 has been hosting a stage for performers to come for many years. Hosting parties as well we came on a night to see three bands put on a show, Paperroute, Lights and Owl City.
With three floors, over 5 bars, many couches to sit on, and many spaces to dance this club offers it all to enjoy a good show. Never knowing what is to happen, we arrive an hour early for the show, milling about trying to find a good spot to watch the show exploring all three floors, we run into none other than Kelly Cutrone and Whitney Porter. Porter, featured on the tv show ‘The Hills’ and now having her own show ‘The City’, in addition also designing her own fashion line. Cutrone, working for People’s Revolution, was featured on “The Hills” and currently makes cameos on “The City”. She has her own show, “Kell on Earth” and the author of the novel, now on the best time seller list, “If You Have to Cry, Go Outside”. 
Only able to photograph with Kelly Cutrone, we got to talk to her for a few moments. Still freshly excited about her book she’s eager to see what else is out there, and encouraged us on the process of making our own L3gaci. Traveling a lot she sees culture all around her, one can Follow her on her Facebook page or on twitter @peoplesrev to see her own L3gaci.
After our brief encounter we made our way back down to the main floor, already crowed with eager fans to watch the night’s performance, we found a place near the sound booth to take snap shots of our experience. Paperroute was the first to make it to the stage. One of my personal favorite bands, hails from Nashville, Tennessee. Already going on tour with Paramore and She Wants Revenge, not to mention many shows around their hometown, even making it to Maxwell’s Bar and restaurant in Hoboken, they’re a new L3gaci to keep one’s eye on. Formed only a few short years ago in 2004 as an Indie Rock band creating a sound like no other. Making its way to be featured as one of the “10 artist to watch in 2010” via shred news, they have been making head lines. Pressing to headline their own tour after a second major album release coming up this year or early 2011 stated via twitter @paperroute. Always moving the crowd, in a way having their lyrics captivate your body to bring you into the music, they always put on a show. Whether using drums, programming, harmonicas, or one of the many musical instruments they have on the stage they always evoke their own feelings into the performance. Off the stage they are just as charismatic as their music, always willing to sign posters, cds, or ticket stubs, and taking pictures with many of the bands. Lageegee has met and spoken with the bands a few times. Each time just as interesting as the rest they always give a moment for their fans. They are paving their own way to a L3gaci of their own.

Lights, was the next band to open up the show. Coming from Canada, is Valerie Anne Poxleitner performing electro pop has been making waves on the music scene for a few years now. Writing music since she was eleven however only starting with Sony/Atv music publishing in 2008, just like Paperroute being one of Shred News’s ’10 Artists to Watch in 201o’. Performing all over Canada, the United States and United Kingdom, she made it to Warp tour and SXSW last year. Taking the stage head on or moving around with piano around her neck, she put on a show. Having Kelly Cutrone and Whitney Porter out to see her, everyone was moving to her music. Almost seeming as it belong in the Eighty’s, Terminal Five kept giving us artist to make us dance. Turley she is making a L3gaci of her own.
Finally the main event hit the stage, with dimmed lights an owl came out onto the stage to perform. Followed by a violinist, cellist, two key board players, drummer, and a lead guitarist/vocalist this band has it all. Seeming in a short time to gain a monumental fame. Only in 2009 releasing a hit single all over the air waves known as Fire Flies, this band is now headling its own tours in 2010. Gaining popularity virally in 2007 and signing with Universal Republic they gained a L3gaci in a blink. Still fresh onto the music scene, one can see why they are so captivating. With a stage presence like no other, utilizing every inch to have their own dance party on stage. By the end, the entire crowd was chanting “One more Song’ . Seeming to have command of many years, this young band is well on its way to its own musical L3gaci.
The lights finally rising on the stage, Leaving us to exit with the rest of the crowd. We stopped a moment at the merch table and met with Paperroute. Taking some pictures, we left the dance hall. With years of history, this night showed us new, fresh talent on the music scene. All with the hopes of making their own L3gaci and meeting characters already distinguished, we left with high hopes and walked way from this L3gaci, hoping to see a show soon again.
