Photos: German Measles, City Center, and Desolation Wilderness at Cake Shop
Tonight was a sleepy Sunday night out in the LES, but Cake Shop was moderately full for a night of solid, diverse bands. After a late start and what seemed like (and later sounded like) some sound issues, German Measles took the stage. I really like this band’s songs, and I’d seen them before in [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Wild Beasts at Union Pool
There’s a whole bunch of shows going on Friday, but I’m recommending this one because Wild Beasts is super buzzy right now, and this is their last New York tour date before they head back home to the UK. They just got Best New Music, so the show is certain to be a who’s-who of [...]

Listen to the anthemic “Be My Girl” below. Titus and The [...]
