Recommended Wednesday Show: Wye Oak at Bowery Ballroom
I’ve written about Wye Oak a lot on this blog. Most recently, I posted about their new album, The Knot. It’s more excellent, noise-awash guitars, soul-deep vocals, and ridiculous one-handed drumming from this little Baltimore band that could. Or can, rather. This week’s shows are definitely skewed to Thursday and Friday, but that’s no reason [...]
Sweet (Not So New) Song: "Young Hearts Spark Fire" by Japandroids
All of the good show this week are happening on Thursday and Friday, leaving me with nothing to write about for tomorrow. You can always go see Shilpa Ray at Cake Shop, but I’ve seen her so many times in the past few months it seems to automatic to post about. Instead, I’m writing about [...]
Quick Review: Deer Tick at Prospect Park Bandshell
There’s something innately unlikable about Deer Tick. Maybe it’s the photos on their myspace page of girls in bikinis holding guns that aren’t quite tongue-and-cheek enough. Maybe it’s John McCauley’s voice. Maybe it’s because they truly don’t give a fuck about what you think of them (of course, all these could be plusses for the [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Jana Hunter at Bruar Falls
I saw Jana Hunter this year at SXSW completely by accident, waiting for Harlem to play. I was lucky I got there early, because this Baltimore songsmith melds guitar noises, vocal effects, and harmonic layers into some truly beautiful songs. Most would put her in the category of freak folk, as evidenced by the following [...]
Over-Blogged But Cool New Song: Walkabout by Atlas Sound (Bradford Cox) ft. Noah Lennox (Panda Bear)
I wasn’t going to blog about this because everyone else already has, but the brief discussion sparked in the comments section about the last Deerhunter has made me change my mind. Also the fact that it’s midnight and there’s not too much going on tomorrow except for a Portugal. The Man show at Mercury Lounge, [...]
Photos: That Ghost, Babies, The Sundelles, Lovvers, and So So Glos at Death By Audio
Death By Audio this past Saturday was another delightfully incestuous Brooklyn/Todd P/Woodsist-ish night. The exception, of course, being That Ghost from sunny California. He played with just a mic and a guitar and only for a few minutes, but I still stand by my assertion that he’s a hell of a good songwriter. Much like [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Deerhunter, No Age, and Dan Deacon at Williamsburg Waterfront
Go to the pool party tomorrow. There a million reasons not to go. It’s hot. It’s crowded. I have to do my laundry. I have to cook. I have to watch the last season of Gilmore Girls. Forget all those lame excuses (even though there was one legitimate excuse included). I’ve heard good things about [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: That Ghost, Lovvers, The Sundelles, and So So Glos at Death By Audio
I’ve very recently blogged both about Lovvers and So So Glos. I’m enthusiastic about both bands, and you should definitely make it out to this show to catch Lovvers before they go back to the UK. I’ve also heard The Sundelles are pretty good (will confirm or deny this after tomorrow). But the real reason [...]
