Zachary Cale played “Go Folk Yourself Summer Fest” yesterday at Cooper Park in Brooklyn. Below is a video edit of his set’s second to last song titled “Day for Night”.

Last night Deer Tick closed out the free summer concert series at Pier 54. McCauley’s 90min set was charged with a lot of personal banter, not typically the kind of thing you’d expect to hear from an up and coming artist. Though, in the end it’s these authentic moments of unfiltered honesty that made this band’s performance such a stand out experience. A video edit of the songs “Choir of Angels”, “Baltimore Blues No.1″, “Ashamed”, “Twenty Miles” and “Little White Lies” is below, along with clips of DOM and Translations.

Last night The Men kicked off their tour with a chaotic and sweltering hot show at 538 Johnson in East Williamsburg. Standing on a flimsy guitar amp, pressed against the wall, yours truly got knocked around quite a bit. Somehow the general consensus seemed to be, that I’m the perfect launching pad for ‘stage dives’. As a result the footage below is a bit rough at times.

Swirlies and Psychedelic Horseshit stopped by the Beekman Beergarden at South Street Seaport yesterday. Video edits of both bands are below.

“River Rocks” kicked off at Pier 54 last night with performances by tUnE-yArDs and Austra. I have everyone made it into the the show as the line outside the venue was insane. This must have been the biggest show on the Pier since Matt & Kim in 2009. Video edits of both artists are below.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists played the South Street Seaport last night. “Tyranny of Distance” was played in full. Some video of that is below, as well as footage of openers Screaming Females.

Despite having called it quits earlier this year, last night Yuppicide played with the Bouncing Souls at Highline Ballroom. Before the show Yuppicide’s singer Jesse Jones broke into the Metropolitan Museum and snatched an Alexander McQueen creation. Kiddin’. The piece called “Madd Swan” was designed by Gym De Meo and inspired by movies such as Mad Max and Black Swan.

Tinsel Teeth brought their naughty ruckus to Death by Audio last night. Below is a video edit of the last 10+ minutes.
