Photos: Diehard and DD/MM/YYYY at Union Hall
DD/MM/YYYY (pronounced “date month year”) was pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Spastic, exciting, not-quite-noise rock. It will never really be my thing, but these guys were well-practiced. I know that sounds like a silly thing to say, that they were tight musicians. But sometimes, with this new trend to noisily push the bounds [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: DD/MM/YYYY at Union Hall
Tuesday’s recommended show is DD/MM/YYYY at Union Hall. This band played about 1,000,000 times a SXSW, and yet I somehow managed to miss them. I don’t know all that much about them other than that they play spastic music that supposedly merits dancing- or at least jumping around a bit. I usually think of Union [...]
Great New Song: "Snookered" by Dan Deacon
This is one of those occasions on the blog where I write about something you probably already know about. By this point, most everyone knows that Dan Deacon’s new album, Bromst, is getting rave reviews. The electronic party guy has matured; his new album is darker and full of exciting texture. I always thought of Spiderman of [...]
Photos: Vampire Hands, These Are Powers, Wavves
When I mentioned I was going to Market Hotel to see Wavves, my co-worker told me, and I quote, “that place is a death trap.” Well, she’s completely correct, but it was a very fitting venue in which to experience Wavves. I hate to say anything bad about the place, mostly because Todd P, indie [...]
Recommended Saturday Show(s): Your Weekend Wavves Strategy
This weekend is all about Wavves. He’s pretty much the buzziest thing out there right now (along with POBPAH). The backlash has already hit after the Pitchfork Best New Music, but I love his album. The first track alone is such a dark, angled introduction to what I see as a an album that captures [...]

Back From SXSW
Hello again! Sorry that it’s been quite some time since I’ve blogged. I was having some technical difficulties over the past few days (aka exhaustion from SXSW) and wasn’t able to blog. I know that a week in the blogosphere is equivalent to about a millennium in normal time, but I’m officially back and blogging. SXSW [...]

SXSW: Saturday
Last day of SXSW 2009. Musically, this was by far my most productive day in Austin. I’d seen most of the bands I really wanted to see, so I was free to float around just happening upon different things that interested me. Once again, you can find my full coverage here, on BreakThru Radio’s website. [...]

SXSW: Friday
You can catch all of my coverage of my Friday SXSW experience here. Todd P’s show at Ms. Beas’s made me proud to live in Brooklyn. Love him or hate him, he put on a well-run show with some of the best bands at the festival. Titus Andronicus are just so freaking good I can [...]

SXSW: Thursday
Surprise, surprise…Blitzen Trapper is awesome. Normally I wouldn’t attempt to see a band I already know I love at a festival like this, but I missed them when they last came around New York. I had to treat myself to one of my old favorite. My best discovery of the day, though, was The Parenthetical [...]

SXSW: Wednesday
Oh my gosh. Austin is hipster Disney World: magical, yet somehow terrifying. Completely fake, yet very, very fun. It’s difficult to describe. Once again, I’m deliriously tired, but you can check out the coverage I posted over at BreakThru Radio here. There will be lots and lots more photos and videos available soon, I promise. [...]
