North Highlands: October 22, 2011 Cameo Gallery (CMJ) – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

North Highlands are one of Brooklyn’s most promising new indie-folk bands. Their 2010 Sugar Lips EP gave us a taste of their talent, as Brenda Malvini’s sweet vocals and keys are accompanied by a full band of accomplished musicians. In October, the band released their first full length album. Wild One is the full realization of those talents, as eleven-song album features infectious and expertly crafted melodies. At the Cameo Gallery on Saturday of CMJ week, North Highlands played in the middle of the bill but brought out a fine crowd for their 4 pm set time. The band’s short set featured five Wild One songs, and one apparent new song. We are streaming “Bruce” which features an irresistible hook that is spiced up with a nod to Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark”. North Highlands have two upcoming gigs, on November 17 at Shea Stadium and December 15 at Glasslands (PopGun Presents Holiday Party!).

I recorded this set in the same manner as the previous posts from this show. The vocal microphone was problematic for the first two songs so that the lead vocal levels are low, but ultimately reach the appropriate volume. With that caveat, enjoy!

Condo Fucks: November 4, 2011 Mercury Lounge – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

Condo Fucks exist as an alternative reality where Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew can perform as an authentic 60’s garage band playing a selection of eclectic covers without the need to actually be Yo La Tengo at any point during the evening. On Friday night at Mercury Lounge, the alter-ego of one of the favorite bands of this site delivered a blistering thirty-five minute set that left the packed crowd shaking their heads in awe. As we have witnessed so many times at Yo La Tengo shows, the band is comprised of three of the most knowledgeable music fans around — they are literally encyclopedias of 20th Century popular music. So it was no surprise that the Mercury setlist contained only two songs from the sole Condo Fucks release, 2009’s Fuckbook. Instead, the band played eleven other covers, ranging from 50’s R&B, to 60’s iconoclasts The Fugs, to obscure early 70’s proto-punk (electric eels, Richard Hell), to 80’s alternative (Television Personalities), all performed in a high-speed, feedback-drenched, vocally-distorted garage sound. When the set ended far too soon with the Flamin’ Groovies “Dog Meat” (streaming below), a song originally actually recorded on a two-track cassette deck in an actual garage, we took solace in the fact that for their Hanukkah shows in a few weeks, Yo La Tengo will undoubtedly dig out some of these songs to spice up the eight shows’ setlists. See you then.

I recorded this set with the Neumann microphones mounted at the soundboard booth and combined with a perfectly mixed board feed. Per the band’s instructions, the vocals were mixed at maximum levels to capture that authentic overdriven 60’s garage sound, and the venue’s team captured that sound perfectly. Enjoy!

Born Gold: October 22, 2011 Cameo Gallery CMJ Show – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

November 2, 2011

If the photo posted above makes no sense, then you have not seen Born Gold live. The performer formerly known as “Gobble Gobble” has a new album out called Bodysongs, and he played a series of CMJ shows last week to support it, including the Saturday day show at Cameo Gallery. However, the live Born Gold experience can not be anticipated by just listening to the new album — its an experience that must be seen to be believed. The band is the recording project of Canadian Cecil Frena, who occupied the front center of the stage at a ten-foot table layered with a series of digital effects, mixers, laptops, pedals and assorted gadgets. On the floor in front of the stage were the other two members of the band who provided not only percussion, but also contributed to the electronic gadgetry and the overall histrionics. The entire show was lit by two green-tinted stage lights and a liberal use of a fog machine. Oh, and the music. Frena is a wizard with his gadgets, as he produced an aggressive throbbing beat layered with hypnotic melodies and effects-laden vocals. Each song ignited the crowd into a frenzy — at six o’clock in the afternoon. Its hard to imagine the level of crowd participation at a wild 3am club scene. Born Gold seems made for that setting.

We recorded this set in the same manner as the Prussia set posted yesterday. However, Born Gold provided a full mix of their sound to the board, and that mix was meticulously balanced. We stressed the room mics in our mixdown to accentuate the atmosphere and the result is an excellent recording with plenty of room feel. Enjoy!

Prussia: October 20, 2011 Cake Shop + October 22, 2011 Cameo Gallery (CMJ Shows) – Flac and MP3 Downloads and Streaming Songs

November 1, 2011

[photos by Amanda Hatfield]

Prussia is a self-described “experimental pop” band from Detroit. With two keyboards, often three guitars, and a range of sound effects to supplement the unique vocals of singer Ryan Spencer, Prussia is at the forefront of the burgeoning Michigan underground music scene. Last week, the band traveled to NYC for CMJ and performed seven times. We were fortunate to have them play at both shows we hosted this year — the NYCTaper CMJ show at Cake Shop on Thursday and the Golden Ratio / BirdDog Promo / NYCTaper show at Cameo Gallery on Saturday. Prussia played in the second slot for both shows, but the early afternoon set time did not detract from their energy or musical prowess. Behind all of the inventive experimental indie is simply five outstanding musicians. Prussia’s third release is their new album Poor English, which is available in a “name your price” format on Bandcamp. Their set included four of the new songs, two of which are streaming below.

I recorded the Cake Shop set in the same manner as all the of the recordings already posted from that day and the sound quality is superb. The Cameo Gallery recording is a mix of the Neumann microphones on a stand in front of the soundboard booth and mixed with a soundboard feed. The room is a boomier than Cake Shop, so that while the sound is quite excellent, its a very different recording from the Cake Shop one. Enjoy both!

Oh Ok Cake Shop
[screen shot from this video]

Oh-OK came to NYC last weekend at the behest of Cake Shop’s Andy Bodor, whose inventive booking is one of the charms of Ludlow Street’s primary intimate venue. The band had performed at the Athens Popfest 2011 earlier in the week in an unlikely reunion and their first show since another one-off reunion in 2005. Oh-OK released two mini-albums in their three years of existence before the members moved on to other projects. The lead vocalist Linda Hopper is perhaps best known for her work with Magnapop, and a former Oh-OK guitarist was Matthew Sweet. Bassist and vocalist Lynda Stipe is also known for her work with Flash to Bang Time and of course as being the younger sister of REM’s Michael Stipe. In 2002, Collector’s Choice issued The Complete Recordings, which encompassed the two mini-albums, some assorted tracks, and a 1984 concert from Athens. The liner notes of that release were written by Robert Christgau, whose description of the band is not-unexpectedly dead-on. Earlier this week, the Athens label HHBTM re-issued a digital version, called The Complete Reissue. At Cake Shop last Saturday, Oh-OK was playful and relaxed and worked quickly through a chronological performance of most of their catalog in a terrific thirty-minute set. The band now includes three young ringers, whose guitar and drum work provided an excellent backup for the two frontpersons, Linda and Lynda, who have aged very gracefully. The music has aged well too, as its simple and almost childlike melodies are instantly catchy and earworm-worthy. I’ve been humming “Such N Such” all week, and its streaming below.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the CMJ recordings from two days earlier and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

Hoop Dreams: October 20, 2011 NYCTaper CMJ Show at Cake Shop – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

October 29, 2011

We have covered so many Captured Tracks bands over the years — the label’s roster lines up pretty closely with the tastes of the people of this site. So it was no surprise to us that Hoop Dreams, who so impressed at Glasslands in August, were on Captured Tracks and poised to release their first record. The band has a sound clearly influenced by early 80s Manchester UK — and which sounds quite like Captured Tracks label-head Mike Sniper’s Blank Dogs. Hoop Dreams performed in the third slot at our CMJ show, but their 2pm performance was the first of the day to fill the room. Max Brooks deep baritone vocals are delivered with confidence and are complimented perfectly by the melodic guitar lines and aggressive bass guitar, often supplemented by electric violin. The band performed their only current release, the single “XCPR” along with much of what we believe will comprise their debut album. We are streaming the set’s final track “Jumping Fences”, which finished the show on an energetic high note. Hoop Dreams returns to NYC for a gig at Glasslands on November 12.

I recorded this set in the same manner as all of the other sets from this day and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

Widowspeak: October 20, 2011 NYCTaper CMJ Show at Cake Shop – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

The curse of being anointed a CMJ “buzz band” is that everyone wants to be seen at your shows, but no one is really listening to the music. We decided to offer Widowspeak a spot on our CMJ bill back in June, after both acidjack and I had seen them perform compelling sets at different shows. They seemed like a natural fit — unpretentious and intelligent indie-rock with roots in multiple genres from multiple decades. Widowspeak makes music for music lovers. I guess its not that surprising then that ten other promoters also booked them, and every “CMJ preview” mentioned them as a “band to see”. As with every band we booked, we’ll add to that Widowspeak is also a “band to hear”. On Thursday, when they performed at the NYCTaper show at 4 pm at Cake Shop they were also scheduled to play shows at 10:30am, 8pm and 11pm that day. So we lucked into getting the band fresh, lively, and in good moods. The set is concise but clearly indicates that the band has grown in confidence and cohesion since we last saw them. We’re streaming “Puritan”, as that track had some extra jump in its step — energy that the band would need later that night.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the previous sets from this show. We boosted the vocals from the board feed a bit more in this recording and the sound is superb. Enjoy!

Savoir Adore: October 20, 2011 NYCTaper CMJ Show at Cake Shop – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

October 26, 2011

[photo by Amanda Hatfield]

We have in the last several months had the distinct pleasure of experiencing Savoir Adore up close in two very different settings. In June, at their semi-acoustic Vivo in Vino concert, the band was adept at paring down their instruments to perform an excellent set in an intimate setting. At Thursday at our CMJ show at Cake Shop, we saw the full band and all the trappings — Paul Hammer in particular was remarkable at switching between electronics, guitar, vocals and keys, often more than one at a time. The set consisted of three new songs and four tracks from their debut album In The Wooded Forest. We are streaming “We Talk Like Machines”, which featured gorgeous vocals from Deidre Muro. Savoir Adore are poised at this point to take it the next level. The band’s obvious talent, energy and professionalism is a sure thing, and as they finish recording their second album, we expect big things from them in 2012.

I recorded this set in the same manner at the two previous recordings posted from this show and the sound quality is superb.

Tristen: October 20, 2011 NYCTaper CMJ Show at Cake Shop – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

October 25, 2011

Tristen released her debut album in February, and her national breakout has seen coverage from NPR, Rolling Stone magazine, Spin magazine, and a performance on Mountain Stage. Inexplicably, Tristen has not hit NYC. We attempted to reconcile that anomaly when we invited her to perform at our CMJ show at Cake Shop. I spent much of the pre-show conversation imploring people not to miss her, and was rewarded when Tristen delivered a superb thirty minute set. She began with a new song, and her set included five numbers from Charlatans At The Garden Gate. Her band (“The Ringers”) included a couple of new players from her last performance in NYC (February at Knitting Factory), but was tight and comfortable with the material. The penultimate number from the set, “Doomday”, featured a killer hook and some of Tristen’s best vocals, and we are streaming it below. After her set was over, I was approached by several people who thanked me for telling them not to miss her set. Perhaps NYC is finally ready for her talent. Tristen goes back on tour in January with a series of East Coast dates opening for Justin Townes Earle.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the White Fence set, and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!
