T-Sides Elsewhere, Oct. 4th Edition
If you want some idea of what I’ve been up to/where I’ve been hiding, you can tune in to East Village Radio tomorrow (Monday, Oct. 5th) morning, to hear me DJ the Domino Records Show from 10am – 12pm (EST). You can also listen to the last couple shows I DJed by going to the...
Cass McCombs @ Joe’s Pub, Monday, July 27th
As mentioned in the last post, I recently took a gig working for Domino Records, which means I’ll no longer be editorializing about Domino artists, but providing visual coverage – which brings us to the very first instance of such, Cass McCombs, who performed at New York City’s Joe’s Pub on Monday night. T-Sides has...
David Byrne @ Prospect Park Bandshell, Monday, June 8th
An overwhelming 27,000 people showed up to see David Byrne play a free show at the Prospect Park Bandshell in Brooklyn on Monday night. The show was the opening of the 2009 Celebrate Brooklyn concert series. Celebration was easily the theme of the night, whether you were celebrating the fact that it didn’t rain, the...
T-Sides Elsewhere, June 2nd Edition
Summer’s basically here. I can taste it. Spent my Memorial Day Weekend in the green bounty of Vermont. The minute my train rode into Vermont’s green border, the smile on my face couldn’t be removed. Managed to get a little work done while I was there, though — Wrote an 8+ for Ear Farm on...
GAS @ Miller Theatre, Friday, May 29th
Save the massive excitement surrounding what was claimed to be his first and only show in the U.S. (though it seems he played Chicago three nights prior), everything about Wolfgang Voigt’s show at Columbia University’s Miller Theatre on Friday night was minimal. Performing under the name of his popular ambient electronic project, GAS, Voigt was...
Pattern Is Movement & St. Vincent @ Webster Hall, Wednesday, May 20th
Pattern Is Movement have certainly lived up to the Movement part of their name, touring relentlessly since the release of their excellent fourth album, All Together. Seeing them for the third time since October, Pattern Is Movement’s set at Webster Hall last Wednesday was yet another in a line of charged, exciting performances. The duo...
T-Sides Elsewhere, May 8th Edition
It’s Spring, and the album releases are heating up! Expect more of these coming soon. Over at Popdose, I talk about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ glitzy new album, It’s Blitz!… I make a triumphant return to Bullz-Eye with a dissection of Cursive’s latest, Mama, I’m Swollen… I stop in to the Contrast Podcast again to...
Akron/Family @ Bowery Ballroom, Wednesday, May 6th
After seeing jam-freak-avant-folksters Akron/Family put on an incredible show at Brooklyn’s Union Pool in March, there was only one thing left to do: Go home, go online, buy tickets to see them again. After seeing Akron/Family put on an incredible show at Manhattan’s Bowery Ballroom last night, there’s only one conclusion that can be made:...
Throbbing Gristle @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple, Tuesday, April 28th
If anyone other than Throbbing Gristle had been playing the Brooklyn Masonic Temple on Tuesday night, the fact that the crowd was older and stranger and on more drugs than the average New York City crowd might have been off-putting. And if anyone other than Throbbing Gristle had been on stage, the fact that they...
