Its been an eventful Summer, and the Fall season continues unabated albeit with a fairly modest schedule. Fall highlights include two outdoor Wilco shows, our CMJ party, and the sad and crazy day that will be the “farewell” to Monster Island. I do expect to add some shows to this list since there are some noticeable gaps. Feel free to give us a kick in the right direction.
[Caveat: Below is the updated schedule. We expect to attend and record these events. However, circumstances will prevent some of these from being done, and others will be added in the meantime.]
If you want nyctaper to record your band, a band you represent, a show you’re promoting, or even your favorite band in the world, get us in the door and make sure everyone who needs to approve of the recording gives permission. Also, remember each person on the nyctaper crew does this all for free — the recordings, the post-production, the reviews, the links, etc. — so treat us fairly.

Very nice list, thanks!
Fantastic..any chance you’ll be at YLT on 9/24 in Morristown, SM at T5 on 9/26 or The Lemonheads at the BB on 10/10? Stoked you’ll be at Wilco on 9/22. Gonna catch Ian Hunter at City Winery on 9/9 but I would suspect that venue is not taper friendly.
Btw..thanks so much for the SY recording. I loved their performance but just hate the venue in spite of it’s beautiful views.
You should do the Iron and Wine show at Terminal 5!
I would love to do another Iron & Wine show, but the venue Terminal 5 doesn’t lend itself well to recording quiet music.
I’m on the fence about the Lemonheads, I would have to clear recording permission. YLT out in NJ is just not feasible, logistically. And I’m pretty sure Ian Hunter is not taper friendly, although I should probably research that and maybe send off an email.
Sounds good..thanks for the reply. Also thought the Dean plays G500 at Maxwell’s was superb. I was fortunate to catch the first show of his tour at the Bowery and the one you recorded. The last show at the Bellhouse was also excellent. Liked that venue a lot. Roomy, cool vibe and the sound wasn’t bad. catch you out there..
You can also add the Black Angels at Music Hall on Halloween to this schedule.
The Royal Baths are playing the Bowery on Oct 21st and Maxwells On October the 24th (along with Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles on both nights) – Thought this may be something Acidjack would like. The band have just moved from San Francisco to New York…
Well, I recorded them about 6 months ago, and it was a debacle. The lead singer was so unbelievably drunk that he was literally falling down on stage. On my way out, another member of the band apologized to my friend and I. I like their recorded output, but that kind of display really turned me off.
Re-Royal Baths. Can understand that reason bummer. Hope they have not burnt there bridges with nyctaper as your recordings have been so so good.
no WSP @ Willy B’s waterfront sat., sept. 17?
say it ain’t so!
That venue does not allow open taping (i.e., with a stand) ever so it’s not really worth it for us to try this one. However, there will be lots of other WSP diehards there, some of whom I’m sure will record one way or the other.
Hey, are you planning on taping Kurt Vile at Webster Hall in November?
any chance of taping Gotye and Bleeding Knees Club at Brooklyn Bowl on October 22? well, it’s actually a Free Energy show, but those two are from Australia and are amazing.
I would love to tape Kurt Vile again. He’s a really good guy and the new album is one of the year’s best. But I’m sitting on a recording of Kurt’s from June that I’m still waiting on clearance to post.
What about Natalie’s upcoming show @ Hiro? I remember you taped her last appearance but wasn’t given clearance….
What about Wild Flag?
Any chance of taping Lotion at the Knitting Factory on October 17th?
are you planning taping Lee Ranaldo + Wild Flag one? i think its sold out already. anyway would be great to hear a new material of his.
Wild Flag does not allow taping as far as we are aware.
We have inquired and have been asked nicely not to record Wild Flag, which we will obviously respect.
