Cool New Band: Paul and the Patients
Honestly, I don’t know too much about this band. Paul and the Patients are from Brooklyn. They have an EP out. Their myspace page only has 61,000 views as of right now. One thing that I definitely know about them, though, is that when I’ve been listening to music this week, half tuning it out [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Foreign Born at Mercury Lounge
I’ve really been into Foreign Born‘s new album this week. It just sounds like summer. It sounds good. I know nothing of their live show, but I’m entranced enough by the album to recommend this show at Mercury Lounge. I really don’t like Mercury Lounge and the show is $14, but I’m betting it’s still [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: So So Glos and Team Robespierre at The Delancy
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y0PIKiHhBY&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00] Tomorrow night is the premiere of Todd P Goes To Austin, which you can probably tell from the trailer above is something you’ll either totally dig, or just be annoyed that Brooklyn hipster d-bags have made a movie about themselves. Personally, I think it looks pretty sweet. Todd P’s venue at SXSW was actually [...]
Photos: Magic Kids, Yellow Fever, Fergus and Geronimo, and The Beets at Market Hotel
Another Saturday, another show at Market Hotel. I came out primarily to see The Magic Kids, whose song “Hey Boy” has been circulating around the internets, providing toe-tapping confusion about who these Memphis, Tennessee kids are. I learned at the show that they’re also pretty much the same band as the Barbaras, whose myspace is [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: My Teenage Stride, The Drums, and Paul and the Patients at The Bell House
Finally, this week is starting to heat up. This is an intensely good lineup tomorrow night at the Bell House. I 100% plan on being there. 1. The Bell House is awesome. 2. I booked My Teenage Stride at Olde Club nearly two years ago now, and they’re one of those “little Brooklyn bands who [...]

Recommended Tuesday Show: Malajube and Previously On Lost at Mercury Lounge
I’m underwhelmed with the selection of shows tomorrow. This week is really end-heavy, so you may want to rest up now for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, etc. Even though I don’t like Mercury Lounge, though, this show ought to be pretty good. Malajube is a French-Canadian indie band that sings in French, and Previously On Lost [...]
Photos: JEFF the Brotherhood at Dead Herring and Kurt Vile at Bruar Falls
I’d like to subtitle this post, “The Tale of Two Bro Bands.” Last night I bounced from JEFF The Brotherhood‘s last-minute show at Dead Herring and Kurt Vile’s show at Bruar Falls. JTB (can I abbreviate it to that?), hailing from Nashville Tennessee, played a very solid set of drums and guitar rock. I particularly [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Oxford Collapse and The Beets at Collective Hardware
There is A LOT to do this Saturday. Siren Fest will be in full swing at Coney Island. If you don’t mind braving the heat, crowds, and bad sound, then make sure to check out Micachu and the Shapes, Bear Hands, and Japandroids, not to mention Built to Spill. Later that night, our good friend [...]
Photos: Lovvers, Ex Humans, and Darlings
I went to see Lovvers last night at Cake Shop based solely on hearing their one (difficult to pronounce on the radio) track, “AXTXTXIXTXDXE.” It starts with a wash of undulating ascending feedback, turns into a lovely British-punk influenced jingle jangle, and finishes before it hits the two minute mark. Nothing groundbreaking, sure, but I [...]
Two Summery Songs: Foreign Born's "Vacationing People" and Best Coast's "Sun Was High (So Was I)"
Two bands that have been quietly rolling around the blogosphere for awhile, two bands from Los Angeles, and two bands that are a perfect fit for the lazy days of summer. All I want to do is lay out and listen to these listlessly floating tunes, preferably on an ancient record player, whiskey lemonade in [...]
