Recommended Friday Show: WAVVES, Woods, Blank Dogs, Nodzzz, and Gary War at Market Hotel
This is one of those “but all the cool kids are going to be there” kind of shows. WAVVES is the type of band that would probably get made fun of on Hipster Runoff, but despite the (over) hype, he’s pretty darn good. WAVVES is from California and plays incredibly lo-fi, buzzy surf rock that [...]
Exciting New Song/Band: Hot Panda
Hot Panda have been around for a little over two years now, but I’m willing to bet that after this SXSW they’re going to gain some serious buzz. Listen to them now so you can say you knew them when! Their first full-length album, Volcano…Bloody Volcano, comes out February 10th on Mint Records. One of [...]
New York Rockmarket Now On Twitter
I am NOT PLEASED about this, but I finally caved and made a Twitter account. If you’d prefer to get your hot-new-band/song alerts and show recommendations in 140 words-or-less postings, then please add me! The name is NYRockmarket. I will also post more frequently on Twitter about what I happen to be listening to at [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: Beirut at Music Hall of Williamsburg
It’s unfair of me to make this the recommended show. It’s been sold out for weeks. Some people might have suggested the Passion Pit show at Bowery Ballroom instead, but I think Beirut is so good it’s not unreasonable to shell out some serious dough to see Zach Condon. He’s doing three shows in New [...]
Album Review: Bishop Allen's Grrr…
_________________________ Quick Review: Bishop Allen’s new album (dropping on March 3rd 10th) is FUN FUN FUN (but still has substance)! It’s overwhelmingly happy (which might be a bad thing), and takes so many twists and turns, all of which somehow manage to be upbeat. I wish that it was coming out this summer, because it’s [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Wildbirds & Peacedrums
I posted about Lykke Li yesterday, but it seems fair to do a separate post on her tourmates, Wildbirds & Peacedrums. They’re a husband-wife duo (Another one?! What’s up with all these people in love making music together?) from Sweden, and they’re pretty darn cool. I’ve heard amazing reviews from their recent UK tour, so [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Lykke Li at Webster Hall
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdZLiORITBg&hl=en&fs=1] I’m recommending this show partly because it gives me an excuse to post this amazing video for “Tonight.” Lykke Li is a Swedish pop songstress who came out with some of the catchiest songs of 2008. I’ve included an MP3 below of her tune, “I’m Good, I’m Gone.” If you can listen to it [...]
