Liquidrone frontman Clint Maedgen and keyboardist Casey Mac are playing playing a special show sans band tonight. No performance art, just the Liquidrone songbook and “other surprises” as Clint has said. It’s going to be an intimate show, whatever that means. They play experimental rock and are one of my performing bands. Success is knocking […]

This show will be supported by Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos and Something for Rockets. It’s a pretty good panel of up-and-coming indie acts. Doors open at 8PM and cover is $15.

Strays Don’t Sleep with Josh Rouse at Town Hall
These guys remind me of Soul Asylum for some reason. I’m not sure […]

Rock minimalism that would do Hemingway proud. You know, if he liked rock music. And was alive. And could get a ticket, since this show is sold out.
The Dirty Dozens Brass Band at the Canal Room
These guys are a New Orleans mainstay. They play at Le Bon Temps Roule to a packed house […]

For those of you who don’t know, Kieran Hebdan is the man behind Four Tet. Hebdan is also the is also the frontman of British post-rock band Fridge I’m not really sure what to expect from this show, since it’s billed with his name and not as Four Tet. Nevertheless, I predict this will be […]

These indie powerpoppers have some catchy stuff. They’re on the cusp of success, and I believe you’ll understand why after checking them out. Show starts at 11:30 with a $12 cover at the door. You can listen to them on Myspace, if you wanted to first get a feel for their material. They’re apparently from […]

Ah yes, a little dirty Southern music. It’s experimental folk night at Zeitgeist. Dirtfoot is folk punk–yea figure that one out. It works though. Check them out on Myspace if you don’t believe me. They sound something like what The Squirrel Nut Zippers would be if you dragged them through some hurricane puddles and didn’t […]

Zoinks, yo. Jason Molina and Daniel Bejar descend upon NYC. It seems there are still tickets available for $14. Both have recently released excellent albums. Good mellow rock for a lazy Tuesday. This is going to be a good show.
The Magic Numbers with The Elected at Webster Hall
This is a half recommendation. I’m sure […]

Ah Americana. And pissed off at that. Their pieces are typically upbeat and fueled by a generally irate tone. Truth be told, singer/songwriter Alex McMurray has a bone to pick with pretty much everything. They often make fans cry and have been known to incite brawls in the crowd (which they’re not above joining). What’s […]

Named for an youth group who unsuccessfully challenged the Nazi regime. Tonight they’ll be bringing from London their very danceable electronic art rock to NYC. They’re slated to release their debut album Kick in April. You can hear them on Myspace.

They play mellowed indie rock with clear ties to the […]

Come for the music, stay for the fabulous prizes! One Eyed Jack’s monthly bingo event is tonight. Liquidrone is probably one of the best bands in Louisiana right now. Experimental rock with a heavy Mr. Bungle undertone. Good stuff. This show will also feature performance art. Doors open at 9PM with a $10 cover. Should […]
