Hot New Band Alert: Suckers
Suckers have been playing around Brooklyn and New York with bands like Yeasayer, MGMT, and Chairlift for over two years now, but haven’t quite broken out yet. Check out the band now – it’s only a matter of time before they blow up, too. With now-typical slurred indie vocals, guitar tones that remind me of [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: The Loom at Pianos
I recently wrote a post on how great The Loom’s music is. Tomorrow is the last date for their January Piano’s residency. The Loom’s tunes are incredibly listenable, textured creations, and their use of multiple instruments should guarantee that this is a fun show even if you’re not completely familiar with the music. I’ve included [...]

Sign The Petition To Get Swan Lake To Go On Tour!
I just saw this on Brooklyn Vegan and thought that I’d do my part to help! Apparently, there is a petition circulating to get indie rock supergroup Swan Lake to go on tour. Swan Lake is made up of Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade, Dan Bejar of Destroyer, and Carey Mercer of Frog [...]

Recommended Monday Show: Andrew Bird at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Tomorrow’s recommended show of the day is somewhat of an obvious one. Andrew Bird is playing Music Hall of Williamsburg. It’s likely that you’re familiar with his deep, wavering voice and enchanting instrumentation. His new album, Noble Beast, just came out and he’s touring to promote the cd. Until recently, you were able to stream [...]
Recommended Sunday Show??
Hi all. As always, there’s not too much going on this Sunday. I’m not very familiar with any of the bands playing, so I thought I’d write this post about The Notorious MSG. They’re, apparently, a rap group from Chinatown. A joke rap group as far as I can tell. They look absolutely ridiculous, and [...]
Review: Matt and Kim at Music Hall of Williamsburg + new album Grand + Rude Mechanical Orchestra + Pictures
___________________________ Quick Review: I can predict whether or not you’ll love or hate dance “punk” band Matt & Kim based on one small factor. Listen to any song for about thirty seconds. If Matt’s nasally voice bugs you, move on to the next band. If you like it, then there’s no reason you can’t enjoy [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: Ducktails at Cakeshop
Tomorrow’s recommended show of the day is Ducktails at Cakeshop. There are a lot of other excellent bands playing on Saturday, but this show is free and Ducktails is an exciting up-and-comer. You’ll enjoy his music, often described as tropical psychedelia, if you enjoy artists like Panda Bear, Animal Collective, or El Guincho. I’ve made [...]
Hot New Track: RichDoors by New Villager
This track has been kicking around the internet for a few days now and has even been on Pitchfork, but I can’t resist posting about New Villager. Their track RichDoors is insanely catchy. Listen to it twice and I promise you’ll be hooked. It’s pure dancy pop, with just the right amount of 80s synth [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Ponytail, These Are Powers, Pattern Is Movement at Bell House
This show at the newly-opened (and apparently very good) venue The Bell House is the highlight of a busy week. I have to warn you, if you’re more of a straight-up rock person, this show probably isn’t for you. But, it’s definitely a bill filled with some of the very best experimental rock out there [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: The Antlers, Air Waves, The Naked Hearts, MKNG FRNDZ at Cake Shop
There’s a lot going on tomorrow, but this four band line-up at Cake Shop makes for a very nice $7 show. The Antlers play quiet, shoe-gazey indie rock. They’re getting a lot of buzz and exposure right now, so I’d go see them for $7 while you still can. It’s also the record release show [...]
