Recommended Saturday Show: Dinowalrus and Boogie Boarder at Party Expo
I”m not recommending this show so much for the bands. I mean, Dinowalrus and Boogie Boarder are great. I’m a big fan of Boogie Boarder’s art rock and I haven’t talked about them for awhile on here, so it’s all well and good that I’m writing about them now. But I’m mostly recommending this show [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Twin Sister at Rooftop Films
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10UE3O8s24&hl=en_US&fs=1&] Tonight is the kick-off of Rooftop Film’s Summer Series. The theme is short films, and the band is Twin Sister. I went to last year’s opening (same theme with Cymbals Eat Guitars) and it was one of the best nights I’ve ever had in New York. Twin Sister couldn’t be hotter right now, and [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Cults and The Sundelles (and Sleigh Bells) at Ridgewood Temple
Cults. If you haven’t heard their song, “Go Outside,” then it’s definitely worth a listen. It’s delectably infectious, and has been making its way around the Internet like swine flu for the past few months, which is why I haven’t posted it previous to this occasion. Bloggers seem to really be going wild over this [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Alex Bleeker & The Freaks and Big Troubles at Cake Shop
I’m visiting a friend in Columbus, Ohio until Saturday (what up Done Waiting!), so blogging will probably be brief until then. However, I can barely contain my love for Alex Bleeker & The Freaks. They’re the best band to sound like The Band since The Band, plus it’s fun to see Real Estate change up [...]
Recommended Thursday: Local Natives and Suckers at Bowery Ballroom
Honestly, Local Natives don’t excite me all that much on record. But live? Gorgeous, gorgeous vocal harmonies. I remember being blown away by their singing during CMJ at tiny Pianos, and I can only imagine how beautifully they’ll fill up Bowery Ballroom. Suckers have sounded good recently, too. Their IAMSOUND show during CMJ was running [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Growing and Drink Up Buttercup at Brooklyn Bowl
Free, free, free! I am loving all of these free shows. And this is only the beginning. Drink Up Buttercup, longtime NYRM faves, have a brand new album out, Born And Thrown On A Hook. It’s the fully realized form of all their songs that been floating around for awhile now, and it’s very good. [...]
Cool New Festival: Mountain Man Fest
Mountain Man Fest is a brand new DIY festival slated to take place on Saturday, July 24th in upstate New York, right near Skidmore- about a three hour drive from the city. Some of NYRM’s favorite bands will be on the bill including Islands, Real Estate, Woods, Pill Wonder, Family Portrait, Julian Lynch, Cults, and [...]
