Photos: The Soft Pack at Cake Shop
A free show at Cake Shop with a midlevel band is clearly the recipe to an exciting night out. I arrived at Cake Shop very early, at nine, content to eat a cupcake and read my book for a few hours (probably what I would have been doing at home anyways). Turns out, the people [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: JEFF the Brotherhood and Screaming Females at Bowery Ballroom
The recommended show if we can make it out of our apartments, that is. Is it really going to snow that much? Who knows. If you CAN get around tomorrow night, though, I would choose this JTB and Screaming Females show. Nothing new for this blog, but I’ve been listening to JTB’s Heavy Days on [...]
Photos (for Impose): Atlas Sound and Memory Tapes at the Bell House
The good people over at Impose have put up some photos from the Atlas Sound show at the Bell House. While I’m ready to chuck Memory Tapes into the half-full bin of cool-but-a-bit-emotionally-boring glo-fi (or whatever) acts, I’ve never felt more strongly that Bradford Cox is a mad-scientist-genius-circus-freak walking around amongst the rest of us [...]
Photos: Big Troubles, Twin Sister, Pigeons, Run DMT, and Alice Cohen at The Studio at Webster Hall
There’s a lot of ways to say what I’m going to say about the show last night, but I’d like to frame it around Webster Hall. There’s really no way around it. Alice Cohen, Run DMT, and Pigeons did not put on successful shows yesterday. Run DMT started off the evening as a solo act. [...]
Recommended Friday Show (and Good New Album): The Soft Pack at Cake Shop
There are an unbelievable amount of shows going on tomorrow night. From Neon Indian, Beach Fossils, and Adventure at Market Hotel to Those Darlins and the So So Glos at Bowery Ballroom and a whole mess more. It’s a good thing there’s a lot of options, too, because otherwise this Soft Pack show at Cake [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Big Troubles and Twin Sister at The Studio at Webster Hall
It’s very late and I’ve posted about both of these bands recently, so let’s consider this a post about Chocolate Bobka (link to the right). This show tomorrow is curated by Chocolate Bobka, and I personally think he has the most exciting up-and-coming music blog right now. The guy’s taste is impeccable (though sometimes runs [...]
Photos: Blair and Oberhofer at Pianos
When Blair (both the name of the band and the name of the singer/songwriter) took to the stage last night at Pianos, an overwhelming sense of familiarity seeped into the room. I knew I knew her from somewhere, but couldn’t quite place her. Did my band play with their band some time? Had I seen [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Atlas Sound and Memory Tapes at The Bell House
I get a little giddy every time I think about Bradford Cox. He’s such a genius-character figure. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that the guy’s got a very unique perspective going on that he can apparently always translate into music. Like a mature, developed novelist, Cox really has a distinct voice, and [...]
Photos (for Impose): Team Robespierre, Total Slacker, Easter Vomit, and Truman Peyote at Don Pedro
This was one of those shows where I felt instantly transported back to my days at Olde Club. Good bands playing short sets, and a PBR in between each. A great way to spend a Thursday night. I FINALLY got to see Team Robespierre, which was good, though a bit weary as I definitely needed [...]

Recommended Tuesday Show: Oberhofer and Blair
Sorry for lack of weekend posting. Things were busy and then there just weren’t really any shows going on today to write about. Tomorrow go check out Oberhofer at Pianos. I’m not totally sold on his slightly-lo-fi guitar rock, but I’m pretty intrigued by the tracks up on his MySpace (and the one I posted [...]
