hooves on the turf

Revival Times: Curious Storm
Guitars: My Bad
Joseph Israel: Put Your Guns Away
He Can Jog: Last Car Ride
The Coke Dares: Black Beauties
Blonde Redhead: 23
Autodrone: Through the Backwoods
Pterodactyl: Polio

Cake Shop: Forget Seattle. Revival Times hails from Brooklyn’s own mountainous region, “directly above the United North East’s largest oil spill,” where the band “forges its motorik American sound from within the walls of a decrepit casket factory”. Listen to “Curious Storm”, which they just “finished” mixing (which means they didn’t) last night. They’re playing with  Medicine Man, Secretary, Azalia Snail, and go on second.

Monkeytown: I’m liking Guitars‘ ”minimal country”. Their EP Faster is up for free download, and are joined tonight by He Can Jog & his friends, who include Sebastian Krueger of Inlets. Though admission is free at this show, a minimum of $10 needs to be spent on either food or drinks, but you needn’t worry as the menu is pretty good. Read more about the venue.

Southpaw: While preparing this post, I listened to John Brown’s Body’s ”Give Yourself Over” many many times on their myspace. Their show’s gotta be fun (will try to post mp3 shortly); playing with Joseph Isreal who follows more literally in the spirit of Bob Marley. 

Pianos: Somewhat of a glam night with Autodrone, Cruel Black Dove, Saints and Lovers and Chris Batton and the Woods // Death by Audio: Metal night with Cacaw, Heaven People // Blonde Redhead at Pier 54 (Hudson River Park) for free // Silent Barn: Pterodactyl, The Coke Dares, Artifact Shore, Chrome Wings, Dinowalrus // Mercury Lounge: New York’s Obama-loving trio The London Souls with Wolf and the Wayside, Second Dan.
