| EL JEZEL |
Queens-based intelligent post-gaze trio, El Jezel broke out at the StereoActive CMJ show last October.
| COYOTE EYES |
Deli Magazine’s band on the rise in February, this angular indie-pop trio draws comparisons from Deerhoof to early 80s Brit-goth.
| THUNDER POWER |
An Omaha-based indie-pop band that draws references as classic as early 10,000 Maniacs and Belle & Sebastian, their extensive Summer tour (Midwest and East Coast) brings them to Brooklyn for their first-ever NYC show.”
| THE REST |
This Ontario-based brilliant chamber-pop band has just released one of the early contenders for album of the year, Everyone All At Once. Chosen as NPR song/artist of the day last month. Their CD Release Tour will bring The Rest to the U.S. for the first time.

The show begins at 8:30 pm (doors).
We have added a special guest to begin the night. The New Orleans band Hurray For The Riff Raff will begin promptly at 9:00pm (they have another show later that night). NYCTaper readers are familiar with Hurray For The Riff Raff from our wonderful experience with them last December at Pianos.
We will be posting often about this show over the next few weeks, including mp3s, live links and potentially some interviews.
Oooh, great job getting The Rest. I’m absolutely loving their new album. Gotta try to get to your show!
