Photos: LCD Soundsystem and Fall On Your Sword at Webster Hall
Nobody doesn’t like LCD Soundsystem. At least I’ve never heard someone say that. At the very worst, they might not know who LCD Soundsystem is until you remind them, “They’re that band that has all those songs that you hear at parties and in bars, you know, like ‘All My Friends.’” ”Oh yeah, I know [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Ra Ra Riot and Plants & Animals at Union Hall
I’ll admit- I’m not the biggest Ra Ra Riot fan. While I wouldn’t normally put on their orchestral rock to listen to on a day to day basis, they sure are a pretty act to see live. They really play together, and have the whole build-and-swell thing down really well. Every once in awhile, it’s [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Dinosaur Feathers and Shark? at Union Hall
I love Dinosaur Feathers. They have a bouncy, Ruby Suns-esque sound and killer, totally effective vocal harmonies. I’ve been listening to their new album Fantasy Memorial all the time lately. You should go see them this Saturday at Union Hall. Shark? is also playing, whose rough-but-easy strummy tunes are also worth checking out. MP3: “Teenage [...]
Recommended Friday Show: tUnE-YaRds, Twin Sister, Xiu Xiu, and Zola Jesus at Bowery Ballroom
What a star-studded Friday night. On an evening of about six good concerts, this one at Bowery Ballroom is the place to be. First of all, Twin Sister’s 80s pop tinged music is making a huge splash right now, so this is the time to go see them. tUnE-YaRds was on the tip of everyone’s [...]
Photos (for Impose): Best Coast, Babies, and Bitters at The Knitting Factory
If you would like to see some photos from the most alliterative show in recent memory, you should head on over to Impose and check out a few that I took. It was a really good show, but it was so unbearably hot that my brain was a little fried by the time Best Coast [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: High Places at Shea Stadium
I listened to High Places’ 2008 self-titled album along with that Fuck Buttons album pretty obsessively. Two bands that are a good example of electronic music done right. Creative and not plastic, sounds steeped in the future that still help me relate to the here and now, High Places have something special about them. They’re [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: So Cow, Babies, Sunday Times, and The Surprisers at Death By Audio
I don’t mean to blog about Babies and So Cow quite so much, but this is definitely the best show going on tomorrow. I’ve already made my extreme adoration for those two groups quite clear (just got home, in fact, from seeing Babies at Knitting Factory – photos soon at Impose), so I’ll focus on [...]
Photos (for Impose): Blank Dogs, Wetdog, and Wild Nothing at Glasslands
Never have I ever been so tired at a show before. I had been a little sick the night before and didn’t sleep much. As a result I literally could not keep my eyes open for Blank Dogs, so I unfortunately have absolutely no review of his set. However, you can go check out a [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Best Coast, Bitters, and Babies at The Knitting Factory
I took a little blogcation the past two weeks, as typically happens after events like SXSW, coupled with things like Easter and mothers’ birthdays and good friends leaving New York. But we’re back! Tomorrow’s recommended show seems like it was booked with alliteration in mind. I haven’t blogged about Best Coast much recently on [...]
