Recommended Thursday Show: Magic Kids and Cults at Mercury Lounge
Ah, the infectious opening line, “Hey Boy, where’s your girlfriend?” Magic Boys are almost sickeningly adorable, but still have plenty of well-deserved street cred to their names. The Memphis group’s 2010 album, Memphis, didn’t earn quite as much critical praise as I thought it might have, but for a band that lives in the spaces of [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: LCD Soundsystem at Terminal 5
Ugh, I’m sure you already know that this week is LCD Soundsystem’s last run of shows ever of all time, and I HATE T5, but it’s kind of been a slow week for shows. If you’ve never seen LCD before, do it this week. You really should. Even if you only like them a little [...]
Recommended Saturday Show: Las Robertas, Sweet Bulbs, Sunny Ali & The Kid, and Telenovelas at Shea Stadium
I don’t mean to be all “Las Robertas all the time,” but this is THE show to be at this Saturday night. This new group called the Pita Gods have started putting together shows, and this is a helluva show to start off with. It’s a who’s who of upcoming Brooklyn talent (seriously, Sweet Bulbs, [...]

Review (for Impose): K-Holes by K-Holes
I wrote a review of K-Holes’ self-titled new record for Impose. It’s a pretty good record- definitely worth a listen or two, especially if you’re looking for ferocious saxophone rock. I don’t mean to reduce it to that, because it’s an all-around cool record, but that’s what makes it stand out. Read the review over [...]
Recommended Friday Show: White Out with Thurston Moore at The Stone
This is a pretty unusual show for me to recommend, especially when there’s things like The So So Glos at 285 Kent. But let’s be honest- how many Friday nights have we spent in basements seeing the So So Glos? Personally, quite a few (if your answer is none, then I vote you go to [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: The Twerps and Big Troubles at Cake Shop
The Twerps are from Australia, and they have been getting a good deal of buzzzzz on the better blogs for the past month or two, and now they’re on an American tour. In terms of current bands, they’re like one part Strange Boys and one part Girls and one part 70s NYC punk band. It’s [...]
Recommended Wednesday Show: The Beets, Beachniks, and Las Robertas at Union Hall
The drought is over! The prodigal music industry employees return! While they’re all nursing their hangovers (both from alcohol and tacos) and sleeping all day because they had a 6AM flight back from Austin on Saturday night, we will jubilantly rejoice at the first good shows in what seems like a long, long time. Take [...]
Recommended This Week’s Shows: Go To Austin
It’s that time of year again- SXSW. The entire music industry picks itself up and crowds itself into Austin, Texas, where people get drunk on free booze, eat a ton of tacos, and walk around seeing band after band until they pass out. I know from experience, that is both the best and worst thing [...]
Recommended Friday Show: Fang Island at Bowery Ballroom
I think I’m starting to say this a lot, maybe it comes with the territory of having been blogging for a few years now, but I remember last year on the last night of SXSW, my friend and I somehow made it way, way out to East Austin to this Mexican bar that somehow ended [...]
Recommended Thursday Show: Ty Segall, Heavy Cream, Liquor Store, and Home Blitz at Death By Audio
Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You were even considering doing something other than going to this show? That’s, honestly, stupid. First and foremost, you’ve got your Ty Segall, who put out one of the very best albums of 2010. Not only that, but his live show is fantastically grungy and energetic, and [...]
