Written by Saby Reyes-Kulkarni on June 14, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

If you’re hungering for a taste of jazz with that perfect balance of traditional and progressive sensibilities, you’re in luck this evening. At five bucks, you just can’t get a better deal than Helsinki, Finland’s Ilmiliekki Quartet, to say nothing of the fact that this’ll probably be your only chance to see the group for

Soft Pop – Hard Message

Written by Josh Saul on June 14, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

Von Robinson and His Own Universe doesn’t play a ton of shows, so you better catch them at Kenny’s Castaways tonight at 8 p.m.—your next chance to see them live won’t be until September. Von says, “I like playing out alright, but sometimes the money and energy could be better spent getting our music out

Sir Paul McCartney will be playing an unannounced free show at the Highline Ballroom on June 13.

Cock Lorge at Pianos

Written by Marin Resnick on June 11, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

This summer, come see Cock Lorge’s big, blue…eyes as he wails out on stage in Thank Cock it’s Tuesday. Inspired by musicians such as the Clash, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan, Cock mixes up the show with a bit of reggae, comedy and good rhythm. Mr. Lorge enters the stage with the crowd screamin, “Cock!

URB ALT Uptown

Written by Jerry Portwood on June 8, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

If you haven’t been up to Harlem yet, and you’re going to forgo the Puerto Rican festivities happening all over the city, then the best bet would be to travel to URB ALT festival tomorrow, June 9. Didn’t know there was this much going on in West Harlem? Well, the alternative music/visual art goes down

Rockin’ with Roky Erickson

Written by Brian Heater on June 4, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

There were no explanations or apologies. No long VH1 "Storytellers"-like interludes between songs. Surely everyone in the audience Saturday night at Castle Clinton was of that ilk that likes a good, long horror story with their guitar rock, but, like his appearance at the Bowery Ballroom in late April, Roky Erickson’s between-song banter was limited,

Less Creepy Ice Cream Truck Melodies

Written by Dana Haitkin on May 21, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

The sights and sounds of summer have been returning to the city at record pace: this morning’s Metro features people selling lemonade in McCarren park in Brooklyn, and the ice cream trucks have been making their noisy way through the streets despite only being allowed to play their jingle while in motion. If you find

Part-Time Politicians

Written by Brian Heater on May 16, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

“I’ve been making giant pixels, all day,” Dan Friel explains, nonchalantly. I could wrack my brain all day and still fail to come up with another band that can toss off that phrase with the same casual indifference of Parts & Labor’s co-frontman. I pose the logical question, and Friel explains that, at the time

Kooky Illinois at Irving

Written by Brian Heater on May 14, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

I’ve seen Illinois live four times in the past year. The few times it was more or less by accident—the band has the fortunate habit of showing up on bills alongside other amazing bands (see: the upcoming tour with The Hold Steady later this month for more information). I’ve since learned to embrace them—an appearance

Music For The Unwashed And Well-Read

Written by David Callicott on May 12, 2007. Posted in Music, Posts

Friday night The Gourds brought a little of their Lone Star-inspired lyrics and licks to the Bowery Ballroom. Playing their signature blend of bluegrass and deep-fried roots rock, the Austin quintet kept the somewhat smallish crowd dancing and singing along until well past midnight. Backwards baseball cap-wearing frat boys slammed beers while chubby lesbians groped
