Photos: Action Painters and XYZ Affair at Pianos
Last night, I was happy my way to make my over to Pianos for an Oh My Rockness sponsored show. OMR is probably my favorite website; I use it at least once a day and have a very high regard for their taste. I was also excited to see that Pianos had replaced their outdated [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Suckers at Bowery Ballroom
Two bands that I’ve given lots of love to recently? At the Bowery Ballroom? Suckers and Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Tuesday’s show of the day, enough said. MP3: “Everything WIth You” – The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
There and Back Again #6: The Band's Music From Big Pink
I’ve been attempting to write this There and Back Again for several weeks now. I’d never heard the album before, but since I decided to write about it, I’ve listened to Music From Big Pink about a zillion times. I’ve read up on all the folklore behind The Band, how this album was recorded written [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Crystal Antlers at The Bell House
I’ve given Crystal Stilts some love on this blog recently, but here’s a Crystal band I like even more- Crystal Antlers. They have a brand-new album out (the album art for it is pictured above; i really dig it for some reason), that unfortunately I haven’t heard yet. Check out the link to this cool [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Times New Viking, Woods, and Blank Dogs at Market Hotel
If this isn’t one of the most stacked Sunday shows I’ve seen in awhile then, well, I’ll eat my foot. But it is, so I won’t have to. You’ve got one very established lo-fi band and two of the buzziest bands on the scene. I saw Times New Viking open for Deerhunter last year, and [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Real Estate and Luke Temple at Santos Party House
Since I first posted about Real Estate awhile back, they’ve played a bazillion shows and are now at the tip of everyone’s lips. Their laid-back brand of lo-fi is the perfect antitdote to all of this punkier Wavves nonsense, and will provide the perfect soundtrack to your indie rock summer. Luke Temple is the man [...]
Photos: These United States and Papercuts at The Bell House
I don’t know if I say it enough, but the owners of Union Hall have done a fine job with the Bell House. It’s a truly special space and I think everyone knows it. Every band I’ve seen play there without fail says how nice everyone there has been to them and what a cool [...]
Sweet New Video: Ponytail's "Celebrate the Body Electric"
I’ve been slacking the past few days, but hopefully this video will make up for it. Ponytail has really grown on me in the past year, especially after their SXSW set at Ms. Bea’s. Not only are they excellent musicians, but I can attest to the fact that they are excellent people, as well. This [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Angel Deradoorian at Cake Shop
Sure St. Vincent and Loney Dear are both playing New York tomorrow night. But why not get more bang for your buck and go to Angel Deradoorian‘s cd release show at Cake Shop? You might know her from Dirty Projectors (who just rocked Radio City Music Hall with David Byrne, as I said below), but [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Dark Was the Night at Radio City Music Hall
So this is a pretty last minute post (my weekend consisted of going from NYC to NJ to Philly for band practice, back to NJ to visit my nephew, back to NYC for way too much dancing last night, and now finally Brooklyn again- I didn’t have a spare minute to post until now), but [...]
