Recommended Thursday Show: Beach Fossils, Woven Bones, and The Beets at Bruar Falls
This show should feel like coming home. I haven’t done a Recommended show post in several days, but that’s because I didn’t really feel like there was anything worth your time. My Sunday at Northside led me from one disappointing musical moment to another (so many bad bands!), that I fell into a bit of [...]
Photos (for Impose): Northside Part II
I always have really high hopes for Northside, and I always end up wussing out. After a very fun Thursday evening (see yesterday’s post), I was planning on an ambitious Friday night for Northside’s busiest day. I ended up just hanging out in South Brooklyn with my friends, which is, you know, a good thing [...]

Photos: Northside Part I
Wavves. Wavves, Wavves, Wavves, Wavves, Wavves. Are you really dating Best Coast or is it all just a publicity stunt? Why exactly did you sign to Mountain Dew Records? And are you flat-ironing your hair now? It kind of looks like you are. So many questions. One resounding answer. A pretty sweet rock and roll [...]
Recommended Friday Shows: Northside Festival Mania
I couldn’t choose one show to recommend for Friday. You couldn’t possibly only go to one show tomorrow night. Northside has packed Williamsburg with an absurd amount of good bands this Friday, and I’m going to give you a run down of all the ones I think are worth dropping by. First and foremost, Famous [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Wavves, Cloud Nothings, and Dom at The Knitting Factory
Northside Festival has begun! What does this mean? So. Many. Shows. If you’d like to see a lot of music this weekend, it’s definitely worth it to get a $50 badge. If you’re just looking to go to one, well, it’s probably best to just get tickets for that show. Unless, however, you want to [...]
Photos (for Impose): Indian Jewelry, Effi Briest, and Total Slacker at Mercury Lounge
I never understood why epilepsy was triggered by strobe lights until last night. Indian Jewelry shut off the lights at Mercury Lounge and turned on two very high-powered strobes. It was dark, it was moody, and it was difficult to look at them directly, though when you did it was pretty cool. I think that’s [...]
Photos: Rachael Ray's Block Party at The Bell House
Dear Rachael Ray: When I first heard that you were doing one of your SXSW parties in Brooklyn, I’ll admit, I was pretty dubious. The Bell House is within walking distance from my house, so I figured I’d at least go and check it out, grab some free food, and hear Freelance Whales. I hope [...]
Photos: Woodsman, Velvet Davenport, and Wild Nothing at Monster Island Basement
It was hot. Monster Island Basement was packed for this show, and every body that trickled into the venue seemed to bring another degree of heat and humidity to the buzzing crowd. When Woodsman played first, the air was bearable, but by the time Wild Nothing took to the stage you could feel the entire [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Eddy Current Suppression Ring at Death By Audio
I can’t believe I’ve never written anything about this band before. There’s a lot of good stuff going on Saturday: Frog Eyes and Beach Fossils at Mercury Lounge, Darlings and Oberhofer at Crest Hardware, and don’t discount Reigning Sound at South Paw. But Australian rockers Eddy Current Suppression Ring win out. They got really big [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Ducktails, Wild Nothing, Velvet Davenport, and Woodsman at Monster Island Basement
Brace yourselves. New York City is packing an entire season’s worth of music into the next week. There are at least five different totally worthy shows this Friday night, eight more on Saturday, and starting next Thursday, a ridiculously exciting Northside Festival weekend. Was the lineup this good or extensive last year? I certainly don’t [...]
