Recommended Tuesday Show: Smith Westerns, Ducktails, and The Sundelles at Glasslands
Smith Westerns received Best New Music on Pitchfork today, and with this sold-out show tonight at Glasslands, it feels like they’ve finally arrived as a permanent part of today’s national music landscape. It’s about time. The first time I posted about them was in October of 2009, and they’d even been around awhile by that [...]
Photos: NYRM 2nd Anniversary Show at Shea Stadium
Saturday night saw this blog’s 2nd anniversary show at Shea Stadium. All the bands were great, Prince Rama were killer DJs who were nice enough to stay until 3AM and keep everyone dancing the whole time. I had a really wonderful time, and I hope everyone else who came did, too. I want to say [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: NEW YORK ROCKMARKET’S 2ND ANNIVERSARY at Shea Stadium
Happy birthday New York Rockmarket!!!!!! This blog just turned two years old, and to celebrate I’m throwing a party at Shea Stadium tonight. We’ve got Translations and Yellow Ostrich, two bands that make beautiful soundscapes and have been favorites on this blog for a long time. Then, we’ve got two relatively unknown up and comers, [...]

Recommended Friday Show: Fergus & Geronimo, Easter Vomit, Widowspeak, and Dry Feet at Death By Audio
I’m so, so glad Fergus & Geronimo are from Brooklyn now. I feel privileged. Lucky. Because the last couple shows of their I’ve been to have been pretty explosive. They’ve come so, so far since I saw them that first time at Market Hotel a few years ago when everyone just kinda stood around and [...]

Photos (for Impose): Gary War, Ducktails, and The Surprisers at Union Pool
More pictures of people from the New Jersey scene! Ducktails sounded it good with a full band; it was the first time I’d seen that. I kind of missed the textured sounds of his button-pushing, but it was still as good as we’ve come to expect from that crew. I really like The Surprisers. I [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Lame Drivers, Cool World, Eola, and Harpoon Forever at The Delancey
Lamedrivers have been around for eight years! Eight years! That’s unbelievable. If you’re not familiar with the always-slightly-under-the-radar New York via Providence via New Jersey band, they generally stick to college rock with lots of influences from your favorite 90s alt bands like The Replacements or Guided By Voices. They’re offering a 27-track retrospective for [...]
Photos (for Impose): Julian Lynch, Big Troubles, and Family Portrait at Music Hall of Williamsburg
I am extremely, extremely happy to report that Julian Lynch, Big Troubles, AND Family Portrait all sounded amazing at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday night. After two years of hearing all three of these bands over mediocre PAs in tiny clubs and DIY venues (not to knock those places, they’re my favorites- but you [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Ducktails, Gary War, and The Surprisers at Union Pool
This show is free! I mean, the poster says $8, but Matt Mondanile tweeted that it was free, so I’m gonna go with that. Ducktails and Gary War are both totally sweet noise-ish acts that I’ve covered often on this blog, and they’re both hosting the show in support of new recordings. The Surprisers have [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Julian Lynch, Big Troubles, and Family Portrait at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Oh man! After a short respite from Shows of the Day, we’re back! With a really, really great show. Julian Lynch is in town, and that’s a fantastic thing. His quiet, oftentimes experimental bedroom music is fantastic. If you didn’t see him last night at Glasslands, then make sure to get your butt out to [...]
Two Cool New Bands: Left & Right and Ravenous
I’m particularly excited about these two bands because they are both playing the NYRM two year anniversary show at Shea Stadium on the 15th. More on that tomorrow, but for now, I want to introduce you to these bands, both of whom have found their way into my inbox over the last couple of months. [...]
