Check out this post on the Erol Alkan Forum for an in depth look at whats on the other side of that incredible video pyramid.
The show revolves around Ableton Live software on custom made super-computers, which we remotely access and control with Behringer BCR2000 midi controllers.”
“Next to the ethernet remote computer screens there are four […]

I’m from Barcelona (which is actually Swedish?!) has figured it out a master plan for a world-wide never ending party. 1) Write awesome tunes that need a 29 piece band. 2) Fill said band with your friends. 3) Travel the world on the biggest party caravan evar. Tomorrow the party bus/plane/train lands at McCarren Pool […]

2007 Mercury Prize nominee Bat for Lashes plays pretty pop songs that drift to the dark side. She plays Knitting Factory on Wednesday with Pepi Ginsberg.
This is also a good excuse to post her Dyno-tastic video for “What’s a Girl To Do”:

Update: Gothamist just posted an interview.

There’s lots of complaints about the Siren Festival each year (hot, crowded, poor sound, horse poop, etc.) Here’s a few options for those avoiding Coney Island this weekend:
Matthew Porter & Carlos Macia gallery openings at Jack the Pelican Presents
Grab a PBR at one of our favorite spaces in Williamsburg.
Shepard Fairey at Jonathan LeVine Gallery
Saturday […]

So I’ve missed seeing M.I.A. here and there over the last couple of years, but her first album, Arular, was in heavy rotation back when I first got my hands on it, along with the Piracy Funds Terrorism mixtape.
I’m going to be out of town for Siren Festival, but I’m gunning to catch M.I.A. next […]

This is why Hiro Ballroom and GBH are doing it right. Put your name on the list, no questions, ridiculous venue, and they’re always solid shows. This Thursday is no exception with Chromeo, Flosstradmus, and 33hz. Do yourself a favor and check out “Mercury Tears”, instant classic. I rocked this jam until I could hear […]

Summer is here and with it come all of those summer parties and shows that keep us outside. Grabs your shades, some of the best people watching in the world is in your backyard.

P.S.1, the MoMA’s Long Island City satellite, had some of the best Saturday afternoons of last summer. I missed every one of […]

Panda Bear played at Bowery Ballroom last Monday. The vocals and visuals were great, but the transitions were a bit rough at times.

On Thursday Best Fwends (one of them at least) played in Williamsburg for an almost rained out Make Music New York Festival. The live sets are so retarded I can’t help but be […]

How are these two connected? Other than the sheer fun factor, Best Fwends was recently added to the Friday Matt & Kim show in Bushwick as a DJ/MC opener or perhaps closer? This is in addition to the FREE show that Best Fwends (I feel wierd even typing it, let alone saying it) will be […]

To the 4 people that don’t already have Daft Punk tickets for August 9th, the night is not lost. None other than the Beastie Boys are going to be rocking our concrete tub known as McCarren Pool. I love and hate this. It’s hard enough making up my mind on a Friday night, but what […]

Shit kicking psycho-country-rockers O’Death re-released their excellent debut Head Home on Tuesday. To celebrate they will be throwing a release party on Friday at Luna Lounge with Rev Peyton’s Big Damn Band and The Super Monster (more shit kicking and lo-fi garage rock.)
Check out O’Death’s session on the illustrious Daytrotter.
For those who like to […]

Well not really, this really confused me earlier today. Feist is definitely playing, but the second part is fuzzier. Some member from BSS have gotten together as ‘Broken Social Scene Presents’ and will be playing Kevin Drew’s new solo album Spirit if…

Sound good to you? Great, than go get yourself a presale ticket, login/password is […]

Bump bump, Spank Rock hit Gallery Bar in the Lower East Side last night. Amazingly still under-the-radar for most, the Pennsylvania crew knows how to rock a floor. The crowd was liquored up, raring to go, and celebrating Shilo’s DVD release. All the right ingredients for a good night.

Do yourself a favor and listen to […]

Brooklyn street artists Faile threw an opening party for their first ever NYC solo show. The venue, a gutted, rotting factory in the LES, is an incredible space that totally compliments their dark aesthetic. Their work seems to explore the intertwined relationship between love, death, and rejection. The show runs from June 7th to the […]

The Horrors played Luna Lounge on Monday night. The music may not be too sharp, but that’s beside the point. They know how put on a crazy punk show. Highlights included a cover of Joy Division’s “No Love Lost,” a keyboard player that acted like a zombie throughout, and a gigantic lead […]

Coming to Brooklyn direct from France for his first US show Mr. Ozio is going to put down some saxual love at Studio B. Hosted by Fixed, this will be the puppet masters first US performance ever.
Those of us who never lost their love for the flat beat will remember his omnipresent Levi’s commercial in […]

Local anthem makers TV on the Radio have joined the list of growing bands playing McCarren pool this summer in the Center of the Hipster Universe. Not completely unexpected, Brooklyn bands are keeping it real for that summer heat. Their July 29th show will hit the high note of Jelly NYC’s pool party series. Dodgeball, […]
