Be Back September 1st

Hi everyone.  I’ve been slacking lately, squeezing in various end of summer activities and seeing friends off before they leave for the great unknown (grad school).  Rather than feel guilty every day for not posting about all the great music that’s happening, I’m just going to take a break until September 1st.  I’ll be back [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: The Beets, Airwaves, Easter Vomit, and Rifle Recoil

Yes, yes, yes we all know that we love The Beets and Airwaves and Easter Vomit (Rifle Recoil is new to me, their MySpace page reveals some extremely eclectic, extremely quirky, possibly cool jams).  But this show is important because it’s a benefit for Austin’s Yellow Fever.  Lead singer, Jennifer Moore, accidentally tried to bring a [...]

Photos (for Impose): Ty Segall, Royal Baths, and The So So Glos at Cake Shop

I can’t remember the last time I smiled as much at a show.  I walked down to Cake Shop after a dinner with friends near St. Marks.  We walked out of the restaurant and felt like we were stepping onto a set of a movie about New York.  Summer does that to the city- everyone [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Cults at Knitting Factory

Honestly, if I were you, I’d go see Ty Segall again at Death By Audio on Friday.  Royal Baths are playing with him again, which is a good thing, along with Babies- also a good thing.  More on Ty Segall and Royal Baths tomorrow, though.  If you haven’t seen Cults yet, their Knitting Factory show [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Ty Segall, Royal Baths, So So Glos, and Weekends at Cake Shop

Hello again!  After a short break, I’m officially posting again.  Things are going to look a little weird for the next few days, then they’re going to change incrementally for a little bit, then everything will look really great- way better than before.  The only downside to this newer, better look for New York Rockmarket [...]

Blog Updates

Hi All.  I’m doing some maintenance on the blog, which is why it looks weird right now, and the last few posts are missing.  I’m going to take a few days to make everything right, and eventually the blog will be back with a newer, cooler look!

Photos (for Impose): Sonic Youth, Grass Widow, and Talk Normal at Prospect Park

Oh Sonic Youth.  Right up there with George Clooney, they are the poster children for aging gracefully.  How many other bands can you think of that play seriously kick-ass live shows, actually make meaningful music contributions, and were one of the most influential bands of all time some twenty-five years ago?  The guitar gods rocked [...]

Recommended Monday Show: Wavves, The Smith Westerns, and Total Slacker at Bowery Ballroom

Wavves hater or not, you have to admit that his new album, King of the Beach, is at least a lot of fun.  Personally, I think it’s more than that.  I might even say it’s a perfect slacker anthem album, and it will be on repeat in my apartment until the weather stops making me [...]

Recommended Sunday Show: St. Vincent, tUnE-YaRds, and Basia Bulat at Summerstage (Free!)

Someone saved all the amazing free shows for the end of the summer.  Three awesome women will be performing this afternoon, making this a don’t-miss Central Park show.  St. Vincent, of course, is the fabulous songstress behind last year’s Actor.  She’s also got great taste in music videos.  tUnE-YaRds also came out with one of [...]
