It’s just before midnight on Wednesday, and The Fray frontman Isaac Slade approaches the stage at the Bob Woodruff Foundation benefit at B.B. King Blues Club in New York.
“Congratulations, the New York Yankees have won the World Series,” he says.
Slades then sets his MacBook down on the piano in front of him and dives into a song, while broadcasting victory clips of the win on his laptop for the audience.
The Fray’s set was part of Woodruff’s benefit to support injured war veterans and their families – planned by Bloc Group philanthropist Matthew Isaacs and attended by celebrity guests like Wilmer Valderrama and DJ Grandmaster Flash (bottom photo).
The Fray played a 10-song set that included hits “Over My Head (Cable Car),” “How To Save a Life,” “She,” and “You Found Me,” but also included one unexpected jam – a Kris Allen-esque cover of Kanye West‘s “Heartless.”
Check out the fantastic cover, and Slade’s Yankees broadcast, below.

It’s not every day you walk into a club and find The Roots drummer Questlove at the DJ booth.
So you can imagine our excitement when we saw him at New York hotspot Kiss and Fly Wednesday night!
Questlove DJed rare jams until the wee hours of the morning – spinning everything from Cam’ron to Ray Charles to Maroon5.
He completely surpassed the unexpected!!
Making the night possible were Bloc Group marketing guru Matthew Isaacs, 22 Events impresario Madi Lager and DJ Dimitry.
Great night, all!

Indie rock duo The Kills have plenty to celebrate these days.
Oh yeah, and Hince’s off-and-on girlfriend, Kate Moss, is also a fan.
So you can imagine the excitement when the pair showed up at The Annex in New York Saturday night for an after-party following their Webster Hall performance!
The twosome earned visits from celebrity fans like Winona Ryder, Jessica Stam, Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung, while event impresarios Alejandro Torio and Bloc Group’s Matthew Isaacs had guests dancing and partying all night.
The Kills still have a handful of U.S. dates coming up this month, so be sure to pick up your tickets!!
It’s a show not to be missed!
