Photos (for Impose): Jacuzzi Boys, K Holes, Xray Eyeballs, and Shingles at Cake Shop
More photos! Like I said, I’ve been pretty behind this week with my posts, but this should just about catch us up. It began as a quiet Sunday evening in the basement of Cake Shop. I walked in to Shingles’ set, a meandering three piece producing sloppy, angular, college rock. I have absolutely no idea [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Wild Nothing and Neon Indian at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Let me get one thing straight here. I’m not recommending this show for Neon Indian. His live show, really, is pretty boring. Sure, it’s dancey and people like it, but the music has no soul! No soul! I’ll admit, “Should Have Taken Acid With You” is a pretty sweet song, though. And his guitarist is [...]
Photos (for Impose): Golden Girls, Conversion Party, and Radical Dads at Glasslands
I’m a bit behind this week; this show happened last Thursday. For this, I apologize. Luckily though, I hope that my lateness will be made up by the fact that all three of these bands are ones to take note of. Let’s start with some ambiance, shall we? It was Thursday night at Glasslands, thankfully [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Dan Deacon at Red Hook Park (Free!)
It’s so easy to recommend a Dan Deacon show. It’s difficult to imagine at this point that there’s too many people who haven’t seen Deacon at some time or another, too many people who can’t identify with the person-to-person interaction that his live set brings. It seems as if every time he plays a different [...]
Photos: JEFF the Brotherhood at Death By Audio
Last time I saw JEFF the Brotherhood was back in February at Death By Audio. Maybe it was my imagination, but I felt like I was standing in the same exact spot next to the same exact people as that night in February. All of the circumstances of the evening seemed precisely the same, especially [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Jacuzzi Boys and Xray Eyeballs at Cake Shop
Jacuzzi Boys are from Miami, so they won’t be around NYC all that often. They play a really grungy type of rock and roll, and I hear their live show is pretty good. They’re playing with Xray Eyeballs, a Golden Triangle variation, who are also one of the most excellent punk acts dominating Brooklyn right [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Pocahaunted and Prince Rama at Glasslands
Pocahaunted. Originally a duo with Bethany of Best Coast and Amanda Brown, Bethany dropped out when everyone was all saying, “Oh my god, they’re like, these two women who are making drone music, isn’t that special and quaint?” And then Bethany said, “Eff that,” so she left to do Best Coast and Brown continued to [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Quintron, JEFF the Brotherhood, and Golden Triangle at Death By Audio
If you feel like partying and possibly getting your bones crushed, then Death By Audio is the place to be this Friday night. The last time I saw JEFF the Brotherhood at DBAo I nearly broke my camera to pieces, and that was in the dead cold of winter. Imagine how packed and fun it’s [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Conversion Party, Golden Girls, and Radical Dads at Glasslands
Golden Girls sure had some good timing on that name. With certain recent oldies but goodies getting massive play on shows like Saturday Night Live, it definitely can’t hurt to have such an apropos moniker. The last time they played a stretch of shows in the city (they’re from Massachusetts), they caused a definite stir [...]
Awesome New Album: Melted by Ty Segall
There’s been plenty of talk on NYRM about Ty Segall. I’ve had a lot of admiration for the San Franciscan rocker for quite some time, digging a lot of his scuzzy garage songs, though not particularly blown away by him at SXSW. I liked Lemons last year, but it didn’t make my end of year [...]
