Recommended Wednesday Show: White Rabbits at Mercury Lounge
This is the first of two Mercury Lounge shows that White Rabbits will play this week. Indie rock darlings of 2007/8, White Rabbits haven’t used their considerable buzz from the last year and a half to their advantage. Instead, they retreated into the bowels of Brooklyn and we haven’t heard a peep from them since [...]
Photos/Review: Titus Andronicus and Los Campesinos! at Bowery Ballroom
When I review shows, I like to be right up front. I think you can best understand the heart of a live performance when you’re pressed against the stage with the weight of the entire audience bearing down on your ribcage. You get a clear view of what’s happening on-stage, from pedals and guitar-playing to [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: School of Seven Bells and Fujiya and Miyagi at Le Poisson Rouge
To be perfectly honest, I could take or leave Fujiya and Miyagi right now. I thought their new album was fine (although that “vanilla, strawberry, knickerbocker glory” line always gets stuck in my head). I’m sure they’ll put on a good live performance, but this is a can’t-miss show because of School of Seven Bells. [...]
Recommended Monday Show: These Are Powers at Other Music
I don’t have much time for a post right now- I’m trying to get out the door to Bowery Ballroom. I figured I should throw up a post about tomorrow’s shows since I’ll probably be getting back home to my computer after midnight. Since it’s a Monday, there’s not too much going on. If I [...]
Pictures/Review: Phil and the Osophers, Shilpa Ray, and Harlem Shakes at Southpaw
Last night’s show at Southpaw was a delightful way to spend Valentine’s day evening. Ticketweb said it was sold out, but they were definitely selling tickets at the door. Either way, it was a packed room half filled with Shilpa fans and half filled with Harlem Shakes fans. I honestly didn’t realize Harlem Shakes were [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Titus Andronicus and Los Campesinos! at Bowery Ballroom
This show at Bowery Ballroom is definitely a can’t-miss bill. New Jersey garage rockers Titus Andronicus put on one helluva rock ‘n roll show, I hear. Dancing, moshing, and craziness will be had. I love this band; they get back to basics- loud, fun, and youthful. Check out these lyrics: “There’ll be no more cigarettes/No [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Four Shows For Four Dates
I kind of like Valentine’s Day. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had a date for Valentine’s Day, but I like the fact that everyone gives each other cards. Plus, it’s a good excuse to eat cookies with pink frosting. It’s an a-okay day by me. Sometimes I think those, “Where To Take Your Date” [...]
Pictures: Beachniks, Rooftop Vigilantes, and caUSE co-MOTION! at Cake Shop
Last night I decided to wander out into the blustery Lower East Side after giving Rooftop Vigilantes’ Myspace page a cursory listen at work. I thought there was something there, enough to get me out to Cake Shop late on a Thursday evening. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but boy was I [...]
Album Review: Vetiver's Tight Knit
I’m not going to do a quick review for this because I don’t necessarily have all that much to say about the album. Tight Knit isn’t complicated. For a band that’s known as an important part of the New Weird America movement and has collaborated with Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, this album is fabulously [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Lexie Mountain Boys at The Stone
Lexie Mountain Boys are not for the faint of heart. They’re difficult to describe precisely, but imagine the following scenario. Think of that obnoxious all-girls a’cappella group from college, probably named something like “Nothing But Treble” or “Chord On Blue.” Then, imagine that everything that sucks about this group becomes AWESOME. Lexie Mountain Boys are [...]
