Sharon will be performing several gigs in the NYC area over the next few weeks, including one of the Rooftop Films series gigs. On June 21, her rooftop gig will be on at the The Old American Can Factory in Gowanus [HERE] prior to the screening of the film “The Women of Brukman”.

Deer Tick has just been added to the Rooftop Films concert series where they will perform on June 20. The Rooftop Films series screens independent films in outdoor locations throughout the City in the Summer. Deer Tick will perform at the “romantic short films” night which is listed on the site at “Lower East Side”, but we have learned is actually going to be 350 Grand Street between Essex and Ludlow.

This is the same series that Dirty on Purpose will open on June 6, which we posted about a couple of weeks ago. We have the permission of Dirty on Purpose to record that performance, but we are waiting to learn if the Rooftop people will allow recording. We expect to seek John/Deer Tick’s permission if the Rooftop people will permit, as John permitted our recording at Mercury Lounge in March.

John McCauley of Deer Tick will also perform solo at Bowery Ballroom, opening the Jaymay/AA Bondy show on June 10.

The Antlers May 11, 2008 Piano’s – Flac and MP3 Downloads and News!

May 22, 2008
By

The Antlers were the third and most familiar band to perform at the nyctaper Anniversary Concert. This set was the third time we had seen the Antlers live, but the first time we heard some of the newer material that will appear on Hospice — the release planned for late 2008.

Hospice will be the first Antlers release to feature the complete band that has appeared at the live performances, rather than a recording produced entirely by Peter Silberman. The familiar faces of multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci, bassist Justin Stivers and drummer Michael Lerner will add an ensemble feeling to the album, while such guests as the compelling vocalist Sharon Van Etten will round out this much-anticipated release. Check on Peter’s blog for updates.

See the Antlers Live in NYC at these upcoming performances:
Jun 16 2008 8:00 Cake Shop
Jun 21 2008 8:00 After The Jump Fest Brooklyn, New York
Jul 17 2008 8:00 Union Pool Brooklyn, New York

This recording is the same source as The Loom recording posted [here], a raw soundboard feed. We would have preferred to run microphones, but as we produced this event it was not possible. Enjoy!

This recording is now available to Download in FLAC and MP3 at Archive.org [HERE].

The National Added to Central Park Summerstage

The National will play Summerstage on Monday August 4, it was announced today. Tickets for this show go on sale on Friday May 30. Yeasayer is the opener.

This week The National released The Virginia, an EP of b-sides and outtakes from Boxer, their acclaimed 2007 release. They will also appear as the opening band for REM and Modest Mouse at Madison Square Garden in June.

We expect tickets to go quickly for this Central Park gig. Our recording of The National’s outstanding show at BAM in February is one of the most popular recordings ever featured on nyctaper.

British Sea Power May 19, 2008 Maxwell’s – Flac and MP3 Downloads

As the full moon rose over Hoboken last night, madness reigned. On the final night of their 3-month US tour in support of Do You Like Rock Music?, British Sea Power performed an energetic and alcohol-fueled show at the smallest venue of their entire tour — a late-added date at the classic Maxwell’s. Yan remarked that the gig was like an office party, and true to the cliched script of drunken officemate party-enders, the show’s finale was complete mayhem. “Rock in A” devolved from musical improv into a mass stage and crowd diving spectacle as audience members, crew, and band all lost all semblance of order. As British Sea Power has grown into an international success on the heels of three outstanding albums, its refreshing to witness the band truly enjoy themselves and give their fans a crazy night of fun and frenzy.

We recorded from our standard location at Maxwell’s, and mixed the prime Neumann’s with a feed from the board for an outstanding matrix mix. This is well-balanced recording with extraordinary clarity — perhaps the best British Sea Power unofficial live recording that a fan will ever hear. Enjoy!

New Fiery Furnaces Live Album Features NYCTAPER Recordings

May 19, 2008
By

We spoke today via email with Jason Lowenstein from the Fiery Furnaces. There was a rumor floating around the official Furnaces forum (temporarily offline for upgrades) that the new Furnaces live album Remember was culled entirely from “bootlegs”. This rumor is not completely true. The recordings that provide the raw material for Remember include over a dozen recorded by Jason himself, three multitrack recordings and five recordings from nyctaper.

Obviously, we are thrilled to have contributed material to an official release for one of our favorite bands. This kind of news makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Remember will be released in August by Thrill Jockey, but the album is finished and pressed and copies will be available at Fiery Furnaces merch tables at concerts this summer.

Visit Fiery Furnaces website or MySpace page for more concert dates.
