Earlier this month, there was a post on Snowmine’s first headlining show and Conveyorwas briefly mentioned as one of the opening bands. After experiencing their lively act at Glasslands Gallery, I am compelled to properly introduce these men to you guys. Conveyor is a four men representation of sensational rock music with an experimental and at times, orchestral edge. Last year, they released an EP titled Sun Ray and this year, they have a new single called “Mukraker”. This track is a warm breeze with a bright radiance of the xylophone. Watch the music video of “Mukraker” below and get cozy with their versatile kitchen/loft/recording space.
You know what is so great about these local New York bands? They play local New York shows. This Saturday, Conveyor will be performing with Bryan Scary (another client of the lovable Paper Garden Records) at Le Poisson Rouge. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Get your tickets here! It’s an early show with doors opening at 7:30 so why not? Last time, a man in a rainbow jumpsuit came on stage during the set with a beautiful trumpet. Maybe this will happen again!
Usually to have the pleasure of seeing a band play a classic album live, you need to wait years after the album is released and it’s had some time to marinate in the collective conscious. Fucked Up don’t want to wait that long. Nor should they! This year’s David Comes to Life is big enough, epic enough and already gunning for classic album status.
On November 14, the band will play all 18 songs from David Comes to Life for the first time, live and in the round, at Le Poisson Rouge. Joining them will be fellow ambitious post-punk rockers Titus Andronicus. Get tickets here. This is one of the most exciting shows happening in 2011.
The wild child(ren) of NYC were out at Le Poisson Rouge for Oh! You Pretty Things! Although…”pretty” is not quite the word we’d use to describe it. Probably something more along the lines of “WTF”…
This dude’s eye black takes intimidation to a whole new level. (more…)
Agalloch was at (Le) Poisson Rouge last night. Below is the first song (“Into the Painted Grey”) from their sold out show. After doors were opened, people ran to the front row like it was a Metallica show. THIS I have not seen in quite a while!
As a part of Carnegie Hall’s JapanNYC Festival presented by the awesome people at Wordless Music present a night of modern Japanese-inspired fun at Le Poisson Rouge. Deerhoof will headsline, supported by Ichi, a one-man band “combining steel-drum with ping-pong balls, tape-loops with double bass and trumpet with bongos, all in the space of one short set,” as well as If By Yes, a duo of Petra Haden and Yuka Honda, creating avante-pop jams.
Fresh of the tails of their latest Deerhoof vs. Evil, Deerhoof are one of the greatest cases for going to see live music in this day and age. They combine all the classic great elements of seeing a live band – the instrumentation, and even to some extent the song structures – with the crazed spazzery of noise bands. After seeing them at Europa last month, I can’t imagine not going back for more. If you have ever enjoyed seeing live music, you will enjoy seeing Deerhoof.
Below, check out the cool video for Deerhoof’s “The Merry Barracks,” where people’s heads start exploding. Metaphoric!
