Recommended Saturday Show: The Surprisers, Home Blitz, and No Demons Here at The Ding Dong Lounge
This Ding Dong Lounge place- it’s pretty new. At least pretty newly hosting indie bands. The crazy thing is- it’s uptown!! Oh my goodness! Rock bands above 42nd street! What’s going on? Who attends these shows? According to New York Magazine, graduate students who like the 80s, that’s who. That sounds pretty good I guess. [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Lower Dens, Ducktails, and Glory Girls at Music Hall of Williamsburg
Another one of our favorites has arrived. I’m not wild about recommending shows at the bigger venues (that’s not really what’s at the essence of this blog, I hope), but it’s so, so satisfying to do when it’s for a tiny band that has finally come into their own. Jana Hunter has been weaving together [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Yellow Ostrich at Pianos
This has definitely been a week for blogging about bands we already know and love. Since they played my 2nd Anniversary Show, people have been blogging and tweeting up a storm about Yellow Ostrich, especially because of the Pianos residency. This is the last night of it, so it’s a great opportunity to go out [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Fergus & Geronimo, Air Waves, Human Resources, and Web Dating at Monster Island Basement
I don’t want it to seem like all I’m going to do this week is talk about Air Waves and Fergus & Geronimo, but this is going to be such a great show! Excellent bands from top to bottom. Web Dating is, of course, Tucker from Total Slacker’s other band that sings exclusively about love. [...]

Recommended Tuesday Show: Air Waves and Amy Klein at Glasslands
Air Waves was one of my personal favorite Brooklyn staples until Nicole Schneit up and moved to Austin. Luckily, she’s back this week and playing a bunch of shows! This one at Glasslands will definitely be good- especially because Amy Klein is playing, as well. I don’t actually know much about the music she plays, [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Tamaryn at P.S. 1
After CMJ, I never thought I’d recommend a Tamaryn show. I was almost offended at Santos Party House- some girl doing a bad Stevie Nicks impression with a headache-inducing light show. Bah. It was not my cup of tea. But when you’re wrong, you’re wrong. I spent some time listening to her MySpace, and realized [...]
Photos (for Impose): Golden Girls, Landlady, and Dirty Fences at Death By Audio
I was so happy at this show last Friday night. I walked in right when Dirty Fences started playing, and was immediately exhilarated. They were very tight and fast, and also very young. I don’t know much about them, but this is what the message on their Facebook says: “LISTEN UP, YOUNGBLOOD, FENCES IS SOME SERIOUS [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Crystal Stilts, Beach Fossils, and Widowspeak at 285 Kent
Crystal Stilts have a new record coming out soon. I haven’t heard it yet, but I’m betting that’s it’s going to be incredible. I know they’ve spent a long time working on it making sure that it sounds really good, and I have full confidence that it will. There’s been such an astonishingly quick shift [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Akron/Family at The Knitting Factory
This Thursday you could go see The Beets, German Measles, and Big Troubles at 285 Kent. Or you could go see Dream Diary and Telenovelas at Death By Audio. OR you could even go hear Prince Rama DJ at Silent Barn. All excellent choices. I think your best bet is this Akron/Family show at The [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Les Savy Fav and Big Troubles at Bowery Ballroom
Isn’t a Les Savy Fav show always great? I remember in 2006 when they came to Swarthmore. Everyone was so, so excited. I think at that time it was supposedly their last tour, so everyone was whipped into a near frenzy over it. Detachment Kit played a killer set first, and by the time LSF [...]
