Photos: Sisters, Grooms, and Weekends at Dead Herring
Last Saturday, Sisters had their record release show at Dead Herring. I was incredibly pumped, as Darlings and Grooms were playing with them, and so were Weekends, who I’d never managed to actually catch live before. My friend and I walked into the cozy apartment as Darlings were finishing up their set. Too bad, but [...]
Photos: Yellow Ostrich at Glasslands
Take note now. Start listening to Yellow Ostrich. I posted his song “Yellow Ostrich” last April, but last night (Tuesday) was his very first ever New York City show, and I believe his first show with a drummer. He manipulates loop petals and rhythms into beautiful pop builds that are surprisingly unlike your typical loop [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Belle & Sebastian at Williamsburg Waterfront
I normally try not to do this, but I will say first off that this show is going to run you $50 if you buy your tickets from Ticketcrapster. Yes. That’s a lot of money for one show. But you’re getting some good perks for what you pay for. It’ll be one of the few [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Best Coast, Male Bonding, and Small Black at Bowery Ballroom
This show is happening twice this week, once at Bowery and once at MHOW, with Alex Bleeker & The Freaks instead of Small Black. Of course, this means I think you should really go to the Thursday show, but I bet both will be very fun. Some of Bethany’s recent tweets revealed that she’s been [...]
Recommended Monday Show: Beach Fossils, Grass Widow, and Oberhofer at Old Firehouse
There’s nothing we haven’t already covered in this show, but it’s definitely the most intriguing thing going down this Monday. Although, I suppose the first part of that sentence isn’t actually true. A band called Ovens is actually playing, which turns out to be a really difficult band to Google. Anyone have a MySpace link [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Sisters, Weekends, Grooms, and Darlings at Dead Herring
This Sisters’ record release show at Dead Herring is going to be bompin. Sisters, Weekends, Groom, and Darlings? Right? RIGHT?! Such a great lineup in such a great space! The perfect Saturday night. MP3: “Glue” – Sisters
Photos (for Impose): PAVEMENT
On Wednesday night, along with a lot of other soaking wet people, I saw Pavement in the rain. This was basically the best thing ever. For me, Pavement was one of those bands in high school that absolutely made me love music. I don’t have the capacity to be critical at the moment. To me, [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Garotas Suecas, The Babies, Sundelles, and Holger at Cake Shop
The Babies are having a really busy week! All the better for us. This time around, they’re supporting Garotas Suecas. The last time Brazilians Garotas Suecas came around, they played Knitting Factory. This time, they’re playing Cake Shop, which I think will be a much more fun place to see them. Smaller, clubbier…funner. They must [...]
Photos: Thee Oh Sees, Sex Beet, Happy Birthday, and Fergus & Geronimo at Santos Party House
John Dwyer does not fool around. His years and years-long career as a punk of all sorts gives him an unerring feel of authenticity and an unbeatable stage presence. Plus, the songs are outstanding. Hard and fast and relentless, just like rock music was always supposed to be. Thee Oh Sees’ performance was the decided [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Christmas Island, Alex Bleeker & The Freaks, Big Troubles, The Babies, and Family Trees at Glasslands
If you’re not going to one of the big shows, like Pavement or LCD or one of the Merzbow shows this Thursday, you basically have two options. Glasslands or Shea Stadium. Glasslands eeked its way out as our recommended show of the day. While Shea Stadium boasts Juan Wauters, Easter Vomit, and German Measles (plus [...]
