Anamanaguchi: July 22, 2011 Music Hall of Williamsburg – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

July 24, 2011

I’d like to claim to have predicted the kind of huge success that Anamanaguchi has achieved since we saw them last at the Knitting Factory in January, but really I was somewhat late to the game. The band sold out the Knit that cold night, but six months later Music Hall of Williamsburg was packed to the walls on the hottest night in memory. By the time Anamanaguchi took the stage at 11 pm after two energetic openers, the crowd was absolutely manic. The quartet entered to a throbbing programmed beat and worked the crowd for a couple of minutes before breaking into a frenzied “Mess”. Immediately, massive crowd surfing began and a stream of stage jumpers continued unabated throughout the seventy-minute set. Although they are labeled as a 8-bit chiptune band, the energy in Music Hall was clearly right out of the punk manual. The first half of the set continued without break, as each song combined the four lively musicians with the band’s layered synthesizers. By the time the band stopped to catch their wind and switch some guitars, it seemed as if everyone in the pit needed a time out. After a breather, the set continued with four “space” themed songs, including the excellent “Aurora” (streaming below). Following two encores, band and crowd were overtaken by exhaustion and exited the venue tired but satisfied with a show of immense entertainment value from both artist and fan.

I recorded this set from the center of the balcony with the four microphone rig. The sound quality is quite excellent. Enjoy!

Anamanaguchi: January 6, 2011 Knitting Factory – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

January 9, 2011

I’ll admit that the entire concept of “chiptune punk” is new to me. The notion that 8-bit 1980s video game theme music could create a thriving sub-genre seemed strange and somewhat gimmicky. Late to the game, I had my mind completely changed at Knitting Factory on Thursday night. Perhaps the most successful of all the chiptune bands, Anamanaguchi has seen a recent surge in exposure due to the popularity of their Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. The Knit was sold out and packed to the walls with an absolutely bonkers crowd. I had expected four nerds playing little keyboards — what I got was four accomplished musicians playing excellent instrumental music with elements of 80s alternative, 70s prog and 90s punk. The fans up front were clapping and gyrating throughout the show, and the band played off the manic energy to deliver a blistering set. Highlights included the set closer “Helix Nebula” and the final encore “Mermaid”, both of which are streaming below. Anamanaguchi is currently on an East Coast tour, and will return to NYC on January 14 for a show at the Studio at Webster Hall.

I recorded this set with the four microphone rig set up in front of the soundboard area. The sound quality in the venue was excellent, and this room recording captures the energy of the room that night. Enjoy!

List of All Available NYCTaper Recordings – 2011 Posts

This is a rejuvenation of the lists we used to do in the early days of the site. I’m trying to get every year up in this category, so this is a look back four years at 2011. The following year (2012) will be available soon, and 2015 will go up in January. That will complete a full listing of the entire NYCTaper archives and make available every recording in our history only two clicks away. Again, don’t take this as an invitation to download massive quantities of recordings. If I find someone downloading 10 or 20 shows at once, I’ll block your IP address.

Math the Band: January 4, 2013 Glasslands – Flac/MP3/Streaming

January 8, 2013

$Math The Band Glasslands$

When I first saw Math the Band, in an opening slot for Anamanaguchi at Music Hall a couple of years ago, I knew I would have to see them and record them again. That 2011 recording was just not high enough quality to post, and it frankly failed to capture the crazy energy of the performance. Friday night at Glasslands, that energy was on display again and thankfully the stars aligned to produce a faithful recording of their fun and crazy set. Math the Band has been around for a decade and they are part of the groundbreaking Providence RI art collective AS220, but the duo performs with a kind of unselfconscious elation that would be typical of a brand new band finding their footing. The Glasslands show was short and sweet, a less than 30 minute run through much of their new album Get Real and a few chosen older nuggets. While the band certainly makes abundant use of the chiptune style keyboard, the songwriting shows influences of oldies like Dead Milkmen. And like their predecessors, the live show is a hoot — a smile-inducing experience that ends too soon and leaves us wanting more. Math the Band will be touring throughout January on the East Coast, dates are here.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser Cards mounted in the middle of Glasslands and mixed with an excellent board feed from house FOH Josh. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!
