This Week's Live Picks

Monday: Fuck Buttons, Growing, + These Are Powers @ Bowery Ballroom 7:30pm $15 [tix]Most acts that set up in front of a table are never able to truly capture an audiences attention in the live setting. They stand there, pressing buttons and twisting knobs, letting the music do the work for them and a lot of times it winds up as a boring performance. Fuck Buttons are not one of those bands. Yeah...

Live Review: Future of the Left @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
-
Artist:
After spending a week at the CMJ Music Marathon I was a bit worried about what music has been presenting us with lately. Most of the bands of that week seemed to be trying to cash in on trends, sounding eerily similar to each other, and blending into a huge blur that was really difficult to differentiate between. Luckily there are bands out there that can remind you of the power of rock music i...

New Tunes: The Antlers on Daytrotter!
-
Artist:
-
Album:The Cold War
-
Track:Cold War
Way back in March I e-mailed the guys at Daytrotter and tried to set up this session while I knew the band and Daytrotter would both be down at SXSW. I never heard back and my days of attempting to manage The Antlers pretty much came to a close (though I did line up their awesome WOXY Lounge Act the week after!). I've spent the last few months continuing to adore the band's music and watching a...

New Tunes: Yeasayer
-
Artist:
-
Album:Odd Blood
-
Track:Ambling Alp
Yeasayer have not been my favorite of the recent glut of indie bands rising to the top of the heap. I enjoyed "2080" but there was something off-putting about the rest of their raved about debut All Hour Cymbals. Maybe it was all the hippie vibes it gives off, whatever that is not what this is about. Today the band offered the first single off their new album, Odd Blood (out February 19th), for...

New Tunes: The Soft Pack
-
Artist:
-
Track:Answer to Yourself
For whatever reason the act of changing a band's name has always annoyed me. You start to get to know a band as one thing and then all of a sudden they're something totally different. It sucks and it really fucks up your iTunes cataloging! In the case of the band formerly known as The Muslims I think I can make an exception to the rule. Let's face reality and realize that naming yourself after ...

Band of the Week: Dominant Legs
-
Artist:Dominant Legs
A quick peek at my Last.fm profile will pretty much prove that I am officially obsessed with the new Girls record Album. I have listened to it non-stop over the last month or two, including a streak of four straight days so far this week and I'll probably listen to it at some point today too. So you could excuse me that I have been searching out everything and anything on the band, checking out...

CMJ 2009
-
Artist:
The CMJ Music Marathon is a daunting, eventful week full of up-and-coming bands swimming with the sharks of the music industry and fans of over doing it everywhere. Each and every year for five days we all line up like fools to get a taste of what the tastemakers at CMJ have deemed the "buzz" acts of the moment along with a few high profile names to draw in a few extra ticket buyers. It's a rid...

Track:
At this point in my life I am sadly a little too old for Mischief Night. The practice of destroying public property, even with a little bit of toilet paper would probably land me in jail for the night or worse and so I will leave it to the young hooligans to pick up my slack on that night. Instead I'll be checking out the fantastic remnants of McLusky better known as Future of the Left at Music...
