Todd Barry at One Eyed Jacks - NOLA

Although we’re a music blog, I feel it pertinent to occasionallly delve into the world of comedy. Todd Barry will perform tonight in NOLA as part of his “Cities I’ve Never Performed in Tour.” I very much wish I could catch this show, but I’m in Baton Rouge.
Barry is something of an alt-comic whose subject […]

Starlight Mints at One Eyed Jacks - NOLA

This is where I’ll be this evening, and I suggest you do the same. The Mints are quite renowned amongst the indie kids. They’ve been compared to The Flaming Lips, though I think that is mostly because they hail from the same area in Oklahoma–that and singer Allen Vest sound vaugely like Wayne Coyne. Whatever […]

Pretty Girls Make Graves at HoB - NOLA

This show will be supported by Giant Drag and The Joggers. Pretty Girls Make Graves aren’t bad, but I’m a big fan of The Joggers, as I’ve mentioned a few times. With a Cape and a Cane was one of my favorite albums of last year. Doors open at 9PM — $10 cover.

Art Brut at One Eyed Jack’s - NOLA

Anyone other than me up for some punk minimalism? I hope so. This is going to be a great show. These guys played at Coachella, but they were scheduled at the same time as TOOL and I had to miss them. But I will be there tonight! Last year’s Bang Bang Rock & Roll is […]

Ministry at House of Blues - NOLA

I have every intention of being at this show. It has been scheduled for nearly a year and I’m still bitter for missing their performance with Thrill Kill Kult. They are the veritable gods of industrial music and they have a new album out. Rio Grande Blood doesn’t suck, but I’m getting sick of Bush […]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at Bowery Ballroom - NYC

Haha, yea right. This is so sold out.

Man Man at Eisner & Lubin Auditorium - NYC

I know you might be swayed by other, more high profile shows, but I strongly encourage you to go to this tonight. Man Man is one of the most entertaining acts currently performing, fusing elements of klezmer, punk and rock, to gel something thoroughly enjoyable. We reviewed Six Demon Bag back in February. They’re […]

Dimestore Troubadours at Circle Bar - NOLA

The Troubadours are one of the most excellent and significant band to come out of the burgeoning Baton Rouge music scene. They play, my favorite, experimental rock. The quintet combines accordion, banjo, euphonium, percusion and a slew of other instruments to make a a highly unique sounds. No cover, so no excuse for missing this […]

Chick Corea with Airto Moreira at Blue Note - NYC

Alright, Corea is a Scientologist, but he’s also a legendary Jazz pianist who has played alongside practically everyone imaginable, including Miles Davis throughout the 60s. He’ll be supported by Brazillian percussionist Airto Moreira.

Millionaire at Mercury Lounge
I like these guys despite the fact they remind me of 80s hair metal. I’ve never seen them live, […]

Shiny Toy Guns with Kill Hannah at Avalon - NYC

They’re like a happier version of Lord of Acid. I like it. Check them out on Myspace.
Wolf Parade with Holy F*ck at Webster Hall
Yea, sold out–surprise.
