I guess this gig makes perfect sense, since Tara Key from Antietam is in fact a librarian, but we find this one pretty interesting and slightly amusing. The Saturday afternoon readers’ attempts to “shh” the noise will be futile, as Antietam’s powerful post-punk will be on display across the Plaza.
Who: Antietam and Ladybug Transistor
Where: Brooklyn Public Library — Grand Army Plaza Branch [MAP]
When: Saturday May 31, 2008
Time: 2 p.m.
Today Dirty on Purpose released a new EP which is available as a free download at RCRDLBL (HERE). The four-song release features all songs that were performed live when nyctaper recorded Dirty on Purpose in early April.
Dirty on Purpose have three new dates, including two NYC performances in June:
Friday, June 6, 2008 “Rooftop Films” at New Design 350 Grand Street NYC
Saturday, June 7, 2008 The Bug Jar Rochester, NY
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Bowery Ballroom opening for Swervedriver (sold out)
Today in a Manhattan courtroom, four of the eight charges against the Market Hotel arising from the legal problems encountered in February were dismissed outright. The other four matters were given an administrative adjournment to a date in June, and are expected to follow the same course.
A judge ruled that the Showpaper benefit held on February 28, 2008 did not violate the “bottle club” statute, and granted the attorney’s motion to dismiss the cases on both technical and legal grounds.
As a live music blog for exactly one year and one day, we continue to scout out new bands and events to attend and record. Today is a list of upcoming events in the standard format for this site.

A beautiful day, and a great time had by all. We had an intimate but enthusiastic crowd and all four bands performed terrific sets. Thanks to all the bands, and to Pianos!
The entire show was recorded and I’ll be offering all four sets in the very near future.
He is one-half of arguably the greatest songwriting team of the last two decades of the twentieth century. Chris Difford penned such Squeeze classics at “Tempted”, “Pulling Mussels From the Shell” and “Cool for Cats”. The latter features his distinctive accented baritone in a song that influenced an entire generation of Brit-pop and powerpop bands.
In between Squeeze tours, Chris released his latest solo album The Last Temptation Of Chris in March, and returns to the U.S. this week to perform several solo shows. We will be at the show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken on Tuesday May 13, 2008. We emailed Chris and secured his permission to record the show for nyctaper. Squeeze returns to the States this Summer for a series of dates nationally.
Here are Chris Difford’s May dates:
May 12 2008 8:00 Iron Horse Northampton MA
May 13 2008 8:00 Maxwell’s Hoboken NJ
May 14 2008 8:00 Water Color Cafe Larchmont NY
