I last wrote about Bozmo after seeing their live show back in May. Their set was so fun and energetic that I was stoked to receive a copy of their full length, Hosanna in the Highest, which they are releasing on cassette. The band just played their record release show last night at O’Brien’s Pub
Going to Death by Audio to see Weekends, Spectre Folk, and Sic Alps was the best decision I could have made on Friday. I was really impressed by all three of these bands, and I feel compelled to recommend seeing all of them live. Any chance you get, do it. Death by Audio was also
Chains of Love sounds like a girl group straight out of the 60s, fronted by singer Nathalia Pizarro and singer/guitarist Rebecca Marie Law Gray. They are the face, but recently, before their show at Shea Stadium, I sat down with the four guys who make up the core of the band – Felix Fung on
The dust has settled from the 4-day whirlwind of music that was Northside Festival, but what an amazing whirlwind it was. There was music just about everywhere, spilling into the street from bars, some people literally playing on a street corner (not part of Northside, but street bands always pop up during festivals), and some
It was a great night for music and mingling last night at Idiot Glee’s album release party, hosted at Glasslands. It was also the second time this week that I was there early enough to catch all the openers, and was glad I did. For those that got there late, you missed out. I have
I realized last night that it’s quite possible that I see more shows at Mercury Lounge than anywhere else. I walked up to see Vetiver with Luke Rathborne, and the bouncer informed that he didn’t need to see my ID anymore because he knows who I am by now. The woman inside who runs the
“Bedbedbedbedbed,” the first single off Deleted Scenes’ forthcoming full-length Young People’s Church of the Air, which comes out in September. It’s an infectious broken love song, communicated through frontman Dan Scheuerman’s staccato lyrics, and driven by a double-kick drum groove with fuzzy guitar lines and echoing Wurlitzer that spirals out at the end. It’s about
The dreamy lo-fi group Memoryhouse from Ontario is playing Glasslands Friday night, along with High Highs, North Highlands and Wonder Bear, starting at 8:30pm. Memoryhouse is the ambient bedroom project of composer Evan Abeele and photographer Denise Nouvion, but according to their tumblr, they now have a five piece band line-up! Wait, there’s more –
Early shows in the summer always feel strange to me, since it’s just so bright outside. Last night (or day), I checked out the early show at Mercury Lounge where Other Lives played, with Ravens & Chimes as support. Even though I was going out to a show when the sun still seemed too high
Before their very first show ever in New York at Bowery Ballroom, I spent some time with a few of the Cuckoo Chaos gents; mainly guitarist (one of the three guitarists in the band) Jackson Milgaten and drummer Dave Mead. We climbed into their tour van that had just barely made it to New York
