Recommended Thursday Show: Garotas Suecas, Golden Triangle, and Total Slacker at The Knitting Factory
This Thursday is just one of those days where there are too many bands playing. First of all, there’s the up and coming buzz bands. Twin Sister seem to have completely blown up just in the last few days, and they will play at Glasslands with Holiday Shores. And Golden Girls, who have been creeping [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: The Soft Pack and Nodzzz at Maxwell's
There’s always plenty of good shows happening at Maxwell’s, but I rarely recommend them because it’s pretty hard to get back from there at night if you don’t have a car. And most New Yorkers I know don’t have access to a car. However, this is one of those shows that warrants the little extra [...]
Photos: City Center, Drawlings, and Love of Everything at Death By Audio
Shows at Death By Audio are always the most fun. Even when I’m alone on a rainy Monday, I don’t feel out of place just plopping down on one of the couches and reading a book in between sets. Of course, seeing quality bands always makes for a good night, no matter what the circumstances. [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Micachu & The Shapes and Tanlines at Le Poisson Rouge
Micachu and the Shapes are one of my faves here at NYRM. Their album, Jewellery, was the #1 favorite album of 2009, and I saw them play last year at Littlefield. And I still think that they’re one of the most innovative bands out there right now. If you’ve never seen their live show, I’d [...]
Photos: Love Is All at The Knitting Factory
Love Is All did not have the level of energy I was hoping they would at the Knitting Factory last night. To be fair, neither did I. A cold rainy, Sunday night left me feeling tired and ill, despite the fact that I’d been looking forward to this show all weekend. I got hassled at [...]
Recommended Monday Show (and Cool New MP3): City Center at Death By Audio
(photo by Amber Fellows) The last time I wrote about City Center was back in September, when I caught them at Cake Shop and thoroughly enjoyed their mix of loops, noise, and pop sensibility. As I said then, Fred Thomas is an excellent songwriter, and this new track that’s been circulating around the Internet is [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Love Is All, Beach Fossils, and The Beets at The Knitting Factory
Love Is All, from Sweden, just released a brand new happenin’ album. It’s called Two Thousand and Ten Injuries, and it’s all over the place in the very best way. Punk bass lines morph into sparse, chanting, joyous melodies and vocal riffs. It’s really cool stuff, and I hear they put on a very energetic [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Rooftop Vigilantes and Reading Rainbow at Cake Shop
Just got an e-mail from the band, who informed me that they couldn’t make it to New York in the end. Major bummer! Still, enjoy the tracks below, and if you’re looking for something else to do, I’d recommend Knight School at Buar Falls. The last and only time I’ve seen Rooftop Vigilantes was at [...]
SXSW 2010: Top Ten Favorite Performances
There’s so much going on at sxsw that it’s impossible to see even a sliver of what the week has to offer. That’s why doing a top ten performances of the week list is sort of silly. On the other hand, I saw some excellent new bands that I’d like to draw a little extra [...]
SXSW 2010: A Few Extra Photos
I had a few extra photos from SXSW. I thought I’d simply post them here, in no particular order. Plus, a few MP3s below. SXSW 2010: MP3: “Perverted Girl” – Happy Birthday MP3: “California Shakedown” – Pearl Harbor
