City Center, Army Navy & more tonight

Death by Audio: As you’ll see in the picture after the jump, Brooklyn’s City Center makes music with percussion and lots of cables. Says one-man-band Fred, “It sounds like rattle rattle rattle sparrkkkkk wheeeerrrrrr,” which of course sounds kind of fabulous. He’s playing with old friend Hawnay Troof, who he insists is the one of the “party starters of our generation”, and whose record release is the occasion for the party tonight. Joining them are Vivian Girls, Urxed, and special guest(s). Urxed is mainly Robert Barber, who also plays in High Places, which Fred claims is quite possibly his favorite band after The Grateful Dead and Joy Division(!).

More bands and all mp3 links after the jump.

Moenie & Kitchi, Pattern Is Movement, Passion Pit & more tonight

The Annex: Moenie & Kitchi is Gregory and the Hawk. They’re set to go on at 10:15 after Attached Hands and Cassorla // Cake Shop: Dream Bitches are friends Yoko Kikuchi and Ann Zakaluk, whose latest album is this year’s Coke and Spiriters from Recommend if You Like Records. They’re playing with Bugs in the Dark, about whom L Magazine wrote back in December, “Bugs in the Dark are doing their best to fill the void left by Sleater Kinney and the Pixies (unless the Pixies are actually together again, in which case, meh). Suprisingly, they’re doing a bang-up job.” To this day the band wonders the signifance of that meh. What does it mean? Also playing is Dave End, whose track “And By Queen” I quite like, and Sway.

More bands and lots of mp3’s after the jump. Also, which famous band did I sight this morning?
