The duo from Brooklyn has just announced a few North American dates w/ Fujiya & Miyagi. Though these don’t include New York, head out to Cutting Room on July 2nd or Piano’s on July 18th to witness Jeremy Haines and Sammy Rubin’s contagiously jumpy music. The touring is in support of XOXOXOXOXO (that’s 5 each), coming out August 14th from Might Records. Posted here is “320″ from that record, a follow-up to last year’s debut with a self-titled EP.
And there are plenty of hot dancing tips in this video around for “HJIH”:
My favorite song of the last two weeks: “The Purple Bottle” by Animal Collective from 2005’s Feels. It’s with much anticipation that I await their album Strawberry Jam and two consequent shows at Webster Hall. Tickets are still available for September 30th and October 1st. Until then, after the jump are some Bowery Ballroom shows to be pleased about (including two Panda Bear dates).
Brooklyn’s “noise rockers” Parts & Labor play the loudest show Chicago Public Radio has ever hosted at their studios. First segment features analysis of R. Kelly’s sexual content. Don’t skip it if you want to hear him sing about how he’s a sexasaurus. Segment two includes Parts & Labor interview and in-studio performance. They talk about their own label, crazy leaving-New-York stories, their unique instrumentation and other things. The trio will also be playing a Brooklyn show on June 22nd at Above the Auto Parts Store (600 Bushwick Ave, Brooklyn, NY). Playing with them are: Matt & Kim, Ponytail, Deathset and Golden Error.
Hymns for a Dark Horse is a superb album from the NC duo (sometimes trio) Bowerbirds. I’ll be posting an album review next week, but don’t forget they’re playing tonight at Bowery Ballroom, they’re scheduled to go on sharp at 8:15 pm. Myspace is streaming.
