Recommended Wednesday Show: St. Vincent and Pattern Is Movement at Webster Hall
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW9NYX6JZA&hl=en&fs=1] Sure, there’s been a ridiculous rash of solo female artists trying to sound like Kate Bush recently. But St. Vincent’s new album, Actor, is a cut above the rest. You can check out the first single and totally weird video above. Pattern Is Movement is also playing. I caught them earlier this year at [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Ear Pwr, Adventure, and Anamanaguchi at Death By Audio
Tuesday is the night of 8-bit. Not familiar? 8-bit is an emerging type of music that is created from using video game noises, old hand-held video game devices, and other historical kinds of synthesizers. And Tuesday at Death By Audio is going to be chock full of this! I just wrote a post on Ear [...]
Photos (Sorta) and Amazing New Song: Cymbals Eat Guitars at Rooftop Films Opening
I’m very late with this post (the event was on Friday), but I think you’ll see it was worth the delay. I didn’t bring my camera to the first night of the Rooftop Films series because I thought I should take a night off. Sometimes I wonder if my friends don’t get a little embarrassed [...]
Photos: Woods and The Vaselines at Bowery Ballroom
The Vaselines are a Scottish band that formed in 1986, the year I was born. I admit I’m not terribly well-versed in what happened between now and then; I found out about the show from another music blog. Regardless, I am very glad that 23 years later I was able to go to the Bowery [...]
Hot New Band Alert: Ear Pwr
I would usually shy away from doing a post about a band like this. They’re a Baltimore electro outfit, and I tend to be wary of music that relies mostly on button-pushing. But Ear Pwr‘s brand new album, Super Animal Brothers III (out on Carpark Tuesday) proves my prejudices wrong and shows that when something’s good, [...]

Photos: Pretty & Nice and Middle Distance Runner at Union Hall
This show seems like so long ago now. I just got back home from Cymbals Eat Guitars at the Rooftop Films opening, which was one of the nicest evenings I’ve ever had in NYC. I’ll post on that tomorrow, but for now, a few quick notes on Thursday’s Union Hall show. I wasn’t expecting too [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Danielson at Mercury Lounge
There is SO MUCH going on this Friday. Personally, I’ll be going to see Cymbals Eat Guitars at the Rooftop Films opening night. Another good bet will be Swedish popsters Liechtenstein at Don Hill’s (dance party!). But really, how can I not recommend Danielson at Mercury Lounge? The gospel/folk weirdo doesn’t play too often, and [...]
Photos: Wild Yaks, Drink Up Buttercup, and Shilpa Ray at Pianos
Last night’s show at Pianos was a lot of fun. Three very quality bands, and an enthusiastic, large crowd. I enjoyed Wild Yaks quite a bit. Frontman Zack Davis Rob Bryn (is that right?) is definitely an entertainer. His physical appearance is sloppy and endearing- the crooked glasses, the suspenders- and so is his stage manner. When [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Pretty & Nice at Union Hall
I just got home from the Drink Up/Shilpa Ray show (I’ll have the photos up tomorrow), so I am tiiired. But before I go to bed, I did want to quickly post about this show at Union Hall tomorrow. Pretty & Nice played the BreakThru Radio showcase at SXSW. Not only were they all both [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: A Dead Tie!!
I think this is the first time this has ever happened, but I’m at complete deadlock for Wednesday’s recommended show. You’d honestly have a great time at either of these shows, and it’s a shame that they’re both on the same night. You can catch Wye Oak and Sharon Van Etten at Mercury Lounge. But [...]
