Recommended Saturday Show: DOM, The Smith Westerns, Total Slacker, YellowFever, and Sweet Bulbs at Station 171

Personally, I like to spend my Saturday Halloween nights at house parties with friends, not riding any trains where people in scary masks with fake weapons give me anxiety attacks.  BUT, this show almost, ALMOST makes me reconsider.  And I really hate riding the subway with people in scary masks holding fake weapons.  All five [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Halloween Cover Band Show at Death By Audio

I actually only know two of the bands on this bill (Boogie Boarder and The Pygmy Shrews), but I suspect that some of the other bands are actually bands we all know and love under different names (Freudian Slit, for instance).  The best thing about this show, is that it’s a pre-Halloween cover show, and [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Titus Andronicus and The So So Glos at Bar Matchless

Woah!  There’s TWO amazing free shows tomorrow night.  The first and foremost is Titus Andronicus and So So Glos at Bar Matchless.  Bar Matchless is TINY.  Really, really tiny.  You have to RSVP through Facebook.  I don’t use Facebook anymore so I can’t really tell, but I think the RSVP might be full.  But it’s [...]

Recommended Wednesday Show: The Babies, Sewn Leather, YellowFever, Narwhalz, Double Downs at Showpaper Gallery

Have you been to the Showpaper 42nd Street Gallery yet?  No?  Well, it’s official- mid-town has become so uncool it’s finally cool again.  Todd P and Experimental Gameplay Project teamed up to make an interactive video arcade gallery in Mid-town.  I haven’t been yet, but reports all say that it’s pretty cool.  You should definitely [...]

Photos (for Impose): CMJ Days 4 + 5

Friday and Saturday of CMJ I got sick.  Really, really sick.  I mean, not really sick, but sick enough that I tried to go to shows past 8 o’clock but fell asleep on my feet and didn’t talk to anyone because my throat hurt too badly.  That’s why I don’t really have any photos or [...]

Recommended Tuesday Show: Japandroids, A Place To Bury Strangers, Dustin Wong, and Grooms at Death By Audio

Rested up from CMJ yet?  Great!  That’s good.  Because this is one of those “holy crap” kind of shows.  I would have recommended this show just for Grooms and Dustin Wong.  But A Place To Bury Strangers?  Japandroids?? At Death By Audio?  I thought I’d only ever get to see Japandroids again somewhere like Bowery [...]

Recommended Saturday Show: CMJ Day #5

Okay.  It’s the end of CMJ.  You’ve already seen four nights and four days of bands.  Actually, I guess you probably haven’t.  But still, at this point, CMJ isn’t large enough where you will find a line-up where you haven’t seen at least a few of the bands.  That’s why I’m going to recommend two [...]

Photos (for Impose): CMJ Day 3

As I mentioned yesterday (or very early this morning, as the case may be), CMJ Thursday was JAM PACKED.  I got to spend the day taking pictures at the Impose/Pop Jew party, and those will be up on Monday most likely.  After leaving The Woods, I decided that I was going to take it slow [...]

Recommended Friday Show: CMJ Day #4

It’s time to face facts.  You have some tough choices to make during the day on Friday.  First of all, there’s some great NYRM-approved bands playing at Cake Shop.  Rooftop Vigilantes, Your Youth, and Yellow Ostrich.  If that were a show during normal times, it would in and of itself be a can’t-miss.  I’m pretty [...]

Photos (for Impose): CMJ Day 2

Oh my goodness.  Now that I’ve just gotten home from day 3 of CMJ, day 2 seems like ages ago.  I can hardly remember what happened.  Actually, there was some pretty good stuff, and you can check out my visual record of it over at Impose right here.  I started the day off at Chocolate [...]
