Recommended Wednesday Show: Pavement and Times New Viking at Central Park
What happens when a bunch of people nostalgic for 1992 try to make plans a year ahead of time? A lot of them end up flaking. Unless you’re not that interested in the Internet, you already know that this is the week of Pavement. You could have seen them Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and you can [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Thee Oh Sees, Sex Beet, Happy Birthday and Fergus & Geronimo at Santos Party House
This is really SUCH a good show. First of all, Thee Oh Sees are coming out with a brand new album that I hear is fantastic, so now is a really wonderful time to see this California band. Fergus & Geronimo are from Denton, so they’re also not around that much, though they will be [...]

Photos: La Big Vic, Oberhofer, and Total Slacker at Monster Island Basement
Friday night at Monster Island Basement unfolded panel by panel, like one of those big road maps that people don’t use now that there’s GPS, into a pretty typical busy Friday evening. Todd P was running around changing the songs, pouring whiskey, fiddling with the lights, while people trickled into the basement to watch La [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: No Age at Music Hall of Williamsburg
This Saturday night in New York, the place to be is either Music Hall of Williamsburg or Knitting Factory. In the one corner, we have Dum Dum Girls, Reading Rainbow, and Girls at Dawn. In the other, we have No Age and some electro bands. Girls At Dawn are not good live. Reading Rainbow has [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Indian Jewelry, Oberhofer, Total Slacker, and La Big Vic at Monster Island Basement
None of these bands are new here at all, and I’ve covered Oberhofer and Total Slacker many times a piece. La Big Vic is a more recent find, and are definitely an enormous reason to get to this show early if you haven’t seen them. I saw Indian Jewelry at Mercury Lounge, and their drony, [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Those Darlins’, Strange Boys, and Gentleman Jesse & His Men at Bowery Ballroom
This is the sort of show that should be sweaty and kind of gross, with lots of steel-toed boots. Those Darlins’, Strange Boys, and Gentleman Jesse & His Men all play a type of grimy, Southern garage rock. If I had to choose one characteristic that all of their music has in common, it would [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: Frankie Rose & The Outs at Glasslands
This Wednesday at Glasslands is the record release party for Frankie Rose & The Out’s new self-titled album. I’ll be brutally honest. I’ve been listening to the record all day, and it’s mostly just reverb-snoozeville. I might be wrong, it might take a few more listens to hear the inherent quiet beauty in most of [...]
Cool New Album: Sex With An X by The Vaselines
I went to see The Vaselines last May at Bowery Ballroom, and this is what I had to say about them: ”They’re simultaneously the most adorable and most totally badass band I’ve ever seen. Maybe it was the accents, but I didn’t know it was so possible to be so darned cute, even while discussing [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Nomo at Union Pool
Nomo have, apparently, been around for several years now, but I only just became acquainted with them through their excellent 2009 album, Invisible Cities. You could call the group from Michigan an Afro-Beat project, but I don’t think that quite accurately describes what they’re about. There’s too much free jazz and funk and electronic stuff [...]
Photos (for Impose): Night Manager, Mainland Fever, Web Dating, and Post Post
This show happened over a week ago, but because of labor day and everything, the pictures didn’t go up until Friday. It’s still worth talking about, though. I think all four of the bands who played are full of potential, and are definitely bands to keep an eye on. Mainland Fever is really young, and [...]
