When the weather turns and you get pissed off because you didn’t take advantage of the nice nights; expect a hearty ‘I told you so,’ from moi. Tonight there are numerous reasons to leave the comfort of your cockroach infested apartment behind so you can get out and enjoy some live music. Check out the options:
1.) Demander w/Four Volts @ Pianos: If you’re like me, you love girls and rock. This show couples the best of both worlds. Demander will give you a hug a moment after breaking your heart. This kind of love can only be tolerated from the lovely (read: fierce) Sivan and Karen.
2.) The Plug Awards @ Webster Hall: If you’re attending this event, there’s a good chance you’ll see me. This event will feature full sets from Saul Williams, Ted Leo/Pharmacists, Dillinger Escape Plan, RJD2 featuring Aesop Rock and Sufjan Stevens. There will also be a DJ set by the much talked about Tim Sweeney (DFA). Stop through the club and get a definite bang for your buck. Afterparty to follow at Rothko with a special performance by Beans.
3.) Kimya Dawson w/Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players @ Tonic: This former Moldy Peach has been making a name for herself without her former sidekick Adam Green. If you are in the area and dig anything she’s done, you should check out this show. As previously blogged, Tonic is in a bit of a rough spot and may have to close its doors so it’s our responsibility to save it.
This is just a heads up regarding an amazing band playing the Mercury Lounge tomorrow night, (Thursday, February 10). After watching the hot lesbian action that is sure to culminate on tomorrow’s episode of The O.C., cruise down to the Mercury for a set from the Chicago based five-piece Chin Up Chin Up. They made a stunning debut full-length We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers, that was released by Flameshovel last summer. The record keeps blowing me away on a daily basis and I’m really excited to see how it translates to the live performance. Chin Up Chin Up should appeal to anyone who digs on Pavement, Broken Social Scene or Tortoise. Their sound spans across a dynamic spectrum, and one can only expect an outstanding live show after giving their record a few spins. It should prove to be the best 8bucks you’ll spend this Thursday.
New Additions to The Bowery Ballroom:
April 1: Graham Coxen (x-Blur)
