12/7 @ The Evens play NYU

12/7 @ NYU Kimmel Center - The Evens (Ian MacKaye and Amy Farina) w/ Daniel Higgs

05-21-05 The Evens in East River Park (10)
the Evens @ East River Park Amphitheatre

I caught the Even's (Fugazi/Minor Threat legend Ian McKaye & Amy Farina) last Summer at a benefit concert in East River Park and was pretty blown away by the quiet intensity of the duo's sound (melodic, accoustic, punk with a message). In less skilled hands it might come off as preachy or boring but these two pull it off well. The Even's have got two excellent albums out now and the tix are only five bucks so don't miss this one.

How was this - did anyone make it to this show last night? I could make it there in time.

I really like those events. that you can go a concert that you don't have to fight against everybody for the best spot. You can enjoy with fewer people and great music.

11.22 the Hold Steady @ Warsaw

Post a Comment

Please use Safari of Firefox for the Slideshows



I went to Hold Steady Show and an AC/DC concert broke out…

Charismatic Hold Steady ringleader Craig Finn is often more of a Hip-Hop style MC live than a traditional rock frontman darting back and forth across the stage guitar in one hand, mic in the other dropping insightful, impassioned lines about addiction, alienation, loss of innocence and redemption in middle America as ace guitarist Tad Kubler shreds away between the verses (occasionally on a sweet double necked Gibson). Meanwhile, the powerhouse Hold Steady rhythm section of Franz Nicolay (keyboards), Galen Polivka (bass guitar) & Bobby Drake (drums) keeps the crowd stomping and screaming for more. The crowd was absolutely nuts and partied along with the band through the whole set list which consisted of the cream of the crop from three quality albums worth of material.

If you’re looking for a cathartic, pure rock n’ roll experience, catch Brooklyn’s the Hold Steady when they come your way.

Toronto's Constantines are one of the best bands in all of indie rock at combining raw soul vocals and precision instrumentation. The band played a typically intense set that included a few new tunes which got a little buzz going in my part of the crowd about a new album maybe coming soon.

Watch & Listen:

Closing out a full night of excellent music Brooklyn party rockers the Harlem Shakes wasted no time setting the room on fire with their fun blend of dancey indie-pop & 60’s tinged garage soul. the Harlem Shakes should appeal to fans of melodic indie (i.e  Voxtrot, the Redwalls, etc.) .

I had no idea Mahogany has such a big following in the city. The band played an excellent set of Stereolab influenced that quickly turned the packed dance floor at Glasslands was a sea of bobbing heads.

It'd been a somewhat low key evening until Big Digits hit the stage. The duo got the crowd movin' with their call & response party raps while wading into the audience for some crowd participation.
