CMJ: Tuesday Night's Recommended Show
This isn’t the kind of little CMJ show where you go and discover a bunch of great little gems that you’ve never heard of before. This is one of those CMJ shows where you all you can think is, “Wow, a bill this weirdly awesome would never happen otherwise.” Here We Go Magic, Titus Andronicus, [...]
CMJ: Tuesday's Recommended Day Party
If you’re any kind of music enthusiast who lives in New York, you’re probably aware that tomorrow is the start of CMJ, New York’s very own miniature SXSW. The conference/festival is really more for music industry types than fans, but just because you don’t have a ridiculously expensive CMJ badge doesn’t mean that you can’t [...]

Recommended Monday Show: Fool's Gold at Knitting Factory Brooklyn
One more day before CMJ madness. There’s tons of bands flooding into town for the festival (marathon), so this Monday is heavy on great non-New York bands. I’d definitely recommend catching Los Angeles’ Fool’s Gold before you need a CMJ badge to get in to see them. They’re yet another group that uses non-American musical [...]
Photos: Sunset Rubdown and New Villager at Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom
The Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom was so different than the basement of the Unitarian Church in Philadelphia. It’s hard to believe that the band I saw in 2006 filled up almost entire ballroom, not just with people, but with an incredibly grand sound that’s evolved so far since Snake’s Got A Leg. Krug has taken [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Dirty Projectors at The Bell House
With bands rolling into town for CMJ next week (more on that later), there is an overwhelming number of things going on. Personally, I will be watching Sunset Rubdown at Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom. But I also wish I were watching Air Waves and Beach Fossils at Market Hotel. And going to the Dinosaur Feathers [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Titus Andronicus, So So Glos, Groom at Knitting Factory Brooklyn
I’ve extolled the virtues of these bands so many times now that I’m almost sick of blogging about them. Except I’m not. Because I love these bands. The So So Glos/Titus pairing was probably one of the best tours this year, and this will be your last of many chances to see it. Plus, I [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: No Age and Woods at Le Poisson Rouge
This is going to be a fantastic show. No Age just released a great, tight new EP as a follow-up to last year’s Nouns. Their walls of organized noise will surely be looked upon as a huge influence for this year’s lo-fi renaissance when 2009 starts to become historicized. I caught the two-some at SXSW, [...]
Photos: Golden Triangle and Thee Oh Sees at The Bell House
I got to the Bell House too late last night to see the Fresh & Onlys, which I was pretty disappointed about. The other two bands, however, certainly made up for it. I was surprised when Golden Triangle took to the stage. A guitarist to the left, and bass player and another guitarist to the [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Ponytail at The Bell House
Man, The Bell House is killing it this weekend. Thee Oh Sees last night (mediocre photos from which I am going to post directly after this) and Ponytail tonight! I’ve posted about Ponytail a lot, but they’re an experimental (don’t worry, they’re totally accessible) rock band, with soaring guitar lines, lots of pedals creating different [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Thee Oh Sees, Golden Triangle, The Fresh & Onlys at The Bell House
Look at that photo. Doesn’t everyone look like they’re having so much fun? It’s Friday! I know you want to have fun, too. There are 26 indie rock shows going on in New York this Friday. 26!!!! (Though I suppose that is technically counting Bruce Springsteen, so maybe make that 25.) I’m recommending this show [...]
