Recommended Tuesday Show: Jeffrey Lewis at Shea Stadium
There’s a couple good shows happening on Tuesday, but I was feeling a little bummed about all of them. They seemed same old same old. Even one of the new bands (to me) that I looked into, Gross Relations, sounded good but just a little, too…typical to recommend today. I mean, it’s Valentine’s day, right? [...]
Recommended Sunday Show: Abe Vigoda, Wild Nothing, and MINKS at Bowery Ballroom
It’s a pretty slow Saturday night. There’s a couple worthwhile shows happening, but none that really appeal to me. So I’m not going to write about them. Instead, let’s look to tomorrow. A Wild Nothing/Abe Vigoda double bill at Bowery! That will be fun! I’m so glad these guys have the same booking agent, because [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Fucked Up, Double Dagger, and DD/MM/YYYY at NYU
You know when shows are the best? When there’s that one band that totally thrashes around and breaks boundaries and doesn’t just play but puts on a show. You know what’s better than the best? When there’s an entire night of bands that are known for doing just that. Fucked Up: crazy live show. Double [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Golden Girls and Landlady at Death By Audio
Mmmmm, I love me some Golden Girls. Remember how their song “Newports” was on my Favorite Songs of 2010 list? Well, nothing has changed about how I feel about them. When I saw them play live at Glasslands awhile back they were still a little rough around the edges, but in a very good way. [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: Radical Dads, Translations, Hospitality at Pianos
Photo by Daniel Doherty for Impose I don’t understand why the cooler blogs haven’t picked up on Radical Dads yet. Their Hype Machine MP3 list is woefully short, for the time being anyways. Sure, they’re not breaking any ground exactly with their alt-influenced songwriting, but everything about them is good. It’s that inexplicable factor that [...]
Recommended Tuesday Show: Deerhoof and Buke & Gass at Europa
Deerhoof’s new album, Deerhoof vs. Evil, is good not great. It sounds a lot like Deerhoof, obviously, but doesn’t exactly have that wow factor that made me fall in love with Friend Opportunity back in college. Man, could I have played that on my junior year radio show more? Anyways, they’ve got a pretty good [...]
Photos (for Impose): I Guess I’m Floating 5 Year Anniversary Party at Glasslands
Another post about a show that happened over a week ago. C’est la vie. At least I Guess I’m Floating only got photos up on their blog today, too. Really, though, these deserved to go up last Monday, because this show was, for the most part, excellent. A Place To Bury Strangers is a Brooklyn [...]
Photos (for Impose): Fergus & Geronimo, Mr. Dream, and The Honey Dos at Cake Shop
Ugh. Sorry for the complete lack of posting the last few days. Wordpress did some weird update thing and froze me out. I’ve actually written this post up twice and had it somehow deleted, so I’m feeling a bit down on it (plus this show happened over a week ago at this point). Here’s the [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Powers (of These Are Powers), The Tony Castles, Grooms, Darlings, Class Actress, and Snakes Say Hiss at Death By Audio
There’s a whole mess of great shows happening tomorrow (Woods and Ducktails at Monster Island, Eola and friends at Silent Barn, Oh My Rockness show at Pianos), but I wanted to recommend this one. It’s a show in memory of Ariel Panero, a promoter in New York and member of Tough Knuckles, who recently passed [...]

Recommended Thursday Show: Alex Bleeker & The Freaks at Glasslands
After a very busy weekend, the beginning of the week was slow. After rocking my face off at The Hold Steady on Sunday night, I was glad for a small break. Luckily, there’s no shortage of shows from here on out. Thursday night has a bunch of shows you can’t go wrong with, but I’m going [...]
