Recommended Sunday Show: Bruce Springsteen at Super Bowl XLIII
I’ve seen Bruce a couple of times at more intimate venues, so I’m a bit tentative to recommend this show. The Super Bowl is a fairly big venue for Bruce, and it might lose some of the hushed, personal feel that his shows at normal stadiums bring to the table. Usually it’s pretty fun to [...]
The Welcome Wagon at Southpaw
I know, I know. I said I was going to get the hang of the photo thing. I actually brought my camera to see the Welcome Wagon at Southpaw last night. Unfortunately, I left the memory card in my computer. A rookie mistake. It won’t happen again. Hopefully, this iphone photo will suffice. It’s a [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Loney Dear at Sound Fix Records AND Union Hall
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0O8E0uTWYs&hl=en&fs=1] As always, there’s a whole lot going on this Saturday. The Thermals, The So So Glos, The Muggabears, Takka Takka, Sharon Van Etten, and Telepathe are all playing shows. However, I have to recommend one of Loney Dear’s shows. Loney Dear is a Swedish singer-songwriter who is opening for Andrew Bird on his upcoming [...]
Exciting New Song: Sunlight by Harlem Shakes
Harlem Shakes have been kicking around Brooklyn for a couple years now (Swatties, you might remember seeing them at Olde Club in 2006, I believe), but it finally might be their year. Their EP came out in 2007, and now their first full length, Technicolor Health, is due out in March. There’s a lot of [...]
Recommended Friday Show: BROOKLYN VS. BALTIMORE!!!!!!!!
These days, everyone is saying that Baltimore is the new old Williamsburg: broken down, not-yet-gentrified, and chock-full of bands and artists. Dan Deacon decided to put that to the test and rounded up his merry band of Baltimorians (is that right?) to have an all-out indie rock smackdown with Brooklyn. For Baltimore, the line-up is [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: N.A.S.A. at Le Poisson Rouge
N.A.S.A. for free! N.A.S.A. for free! N.A.S.A., which stands for North America South America, is a collaboration between two veteran DJs and producers Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon. After meeting at a party in Brazil and discovering a mutual love of latin rhythms, they decided to get everyone they’ve ever met to do songs [...]
Pictures: The Loom at Pianos
I figure I’ve written enough about them already (I obviously liked the show), but here are some photos from The Loom’s show at Pianos last night.
Hot New Artist: Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele
I first heard of/saw Dent May back in October during CMJ. It was during the Paw Tracks (Animal Collective’s label) showcase at Le Poisson Rouge. By the time Dent May came on I had listened to about four band’s worth of experimental, nosiy static, and was starting to lose steam quickly. All of a [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: The Depreciation Guild, Bodega Girls at Fontana's
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtuTTOkjU8U&hl=en&fs=1] Tomorrow night KaiserCartel, The Depreciation Guild, and Bodega Girls are playing a show at Fontana’s in Brooklyn. I’m a little confused because KaiserCartel is listed as playing this show all over the internet, including my favorite show listing site, Oh My Rockness, but their myspace says that they’ll be in Arizona tomorrow. What am [...]
Album Review: Heartless Bastards' The Mountain
__________________________ Quick Review: Do you like classic rock? Do you like women who kick serious rock and roll butt? Think of the Heartless Bastards‘ label mates The Black Keys with fewer guitar solos. Though the album, which comes out February 3rd, isn’t too innovative, it’s worth checking out if you’re into classic-rocky rock. __________________________ [...]
