There are few better places to spend a warm summer evening than a rooftop with friends and beers. But when you're on the roof of SPIN's Manhattan offices, those evening soirees can include something extra special, as was the case recently when Brendan Benson stopped by to perform.

Coinciding with the release of My Old, Familiar Friend, Brendan Benson's first solo album in four years, the erstwhile Raconteur took to the rooftop of SPIN's New York City offices Tuesday evening, offering a mini-batch of ebullient power-pop rockers to friends, fans, and SPIN employees.

Swedish indie-pop trio Peter Bjorn and John recently rocked SPIN's downtown Manhattan offices in the 26th installment of our SPINhouse Live concert series -- and now you can watch the band's entire performance!

They're playing sold-out shows nationwide, and just rocked Coachella's main stage, so we were quite pleased to have Swedish pop trio Peter Bjorn & John stop by SPIN's downtown Manhattan offices for an intimate, happy hour performance last night for about 150 invited guests.

Last week, SPIN's talent search winner Rantings of Eva, up-and-coming songstress Lissy Trullie, and all-out rockers …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead christened SPIN's new Manhattan office with a blow-out party performance.

Amidst the band's headlining U.S. tour this past May, Mando Diao dropped into Spin's Manhattan digs equipped to churn out spirited, electrified garage-rock ditties from the outfit's latest LP, Ode to Ochrasy. And by the animated reactions from onlookers, including fist pumps, sing alongs, and awestruck bliss, Mando Diao's sonic tidings transmitted clearly.
