O’Death: January 15, 2011 Bell House – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

January 19, 2011

O’Death is back. In March, they will embark on a month-long cross-country tour. After two years of dormancy during which drummer David Rogers-Berry fought cancer, the band is ready to return. O’Death has recorded an entire new album, which will be released in the coming months. For a warmup, O’Death appeared Saturday night at Bell House. The band also discovered that their fan base is still very much intact and as ready as they are for the return. About half of the packed venue joined on the floor for an impromptu dance/mosh pit, as the band worked through an hour long set of their best material. The set also featured three of the new songs played for the first time live. O’Death will return to Brooklyn for a gig on April 15 at a venue to be determined.

We recorded this set with the Neumanns from the elevated area next to the soundboard. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Dean Wareham: January 13, 2011 Maxwell’s – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

Dean Wareham has been back playing Galaxie 500 material since late last year — the first show was a stealth event at Rock Shop in August. Sadly, we missed that intimate show, but based on the excellent reviews, vowed to make it to the next leg of the tour. We didn’t attend Music Hall in December but chose instead the intimate and excellent Maxwell’s to experience the Galaxie 500 show. We were rewarded with an outstanding set. Dean’s guitar work has always been superb, but on this night it seemed that every song took on that extra edge in the crescendos. The setlist was similar to the other shows that have been played on this tour — i.e. all the classics were played. We’re streaming “Tugboat” and “Fourth of July” below since both were particularly strong versions. Dean and Britta will continue this excellent tour in Europe throughout February [tour dates].

We recorded this set with the DPA microphones placed at the usual front right corner of the soundboard booth and mixed it with an excellent soundboard feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

Tom Tom Club: January 12, 2011 Irving Plaza – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

January 14, 2011

By nyctaper

[photo from Chris Frantz’s Facebook page]

Its been thirty years since the release of the Tom Tom Club’s first album, but at Irving Plaza last night the years were wiped away by both the crowd and the band. Tom Tom Club performed a tight 80-minute set of their timeless songs and the well-aged crowd danced in a frenzy throughout the evening. From the first beats of “Suboceana” until the final frenzied jam at the conclusion of “Psycho Killer”, Chris’s machine-like drumming and Tina’s unmistakeable bass were prominent in the mix and propelled the band and the fans. The setlist drew liberally from among the band’s entire catalog with highlights too many to list. We’ve streamed “Wordy Rappinghood” below as it was the set closer and was an extended version, and “The Man With The 4-Way Hips”, which was also extended and completely smoked. As a celebration of their 30th anniversary Tom Tom Club will be touring throughout the year and will indeed record some new material. Look for them on the “festival circuit” this summer.

I recorded this set with the four microphone rig from the middle of the floor at Irving Plaza, with the microphones raised to about 12 feet. The sound quality in the venue was superbly rich and clear, and the quality of this recording is as a result quite outstanding. Enjoy!

The War On Drugs: January 8, 2011 Bowery Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

January 14, 2011

By nyctaper

[photos for nyctaper by David Andrako]

We’ve seen The War On Drugs twice recently and each time they were mighty impressive. In August at Knitting Factory, their set was far superior to the headlining Black Mountain, as their aggressive performance showed more psych-rock muscle than their contemporaries. On Saturday night at Bowery opening for Sharon Van Etten, the mood and setting required a more refined approach. Whether intentional or due to the excellent clarity of the room mix at Bowery, The War On Drugs delivered a stunning forty minute set that was less Zep-influenced and more Dylan and The Band-sounding. The opening song “Arms Like Boulders” (streaming below) set the tone with a jangly lyric-laden Blonde On Blonde-ish melodic romp that would sustain for the entire set. The band is currently working on a full length album due for release later this year and several of those songs were featured, along with tracks from the 2010 Future Weather EP, and their debut album Wagonwheel Blues on Secretly Canadian Records. The War On Drugs will perform again in NYC on April 3 at Webster Hall (opening for Destroyer).

We recorded this set with the same rig and location at the SVE set, and the sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Sharon Van Etten: January 8, 2011 Bowery Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

January 10, 2011

By nyctaper

[photos for nyctaper by David Andrako]

Last night at Bowery Ballroom was a special night for so many reasons. Sharon Van Etten has been one of my personal favorite performers for several years — we have followed her literally from her days playing solo in small clubs when her recordings were home demos. From the beginning, there was always something so magical about her voice, her songwriting, her honesty, and her intrinsic goodness. I was convinced from the very first time I saw her perform that her music was a unique talent. It also helped that she is also a really nice person. As her career has unfolded and the music world has begun to recognize her gifts, it has also been a pleasure to watch her development. Her latest album Epic is the torch that has created her “blow up”. Last night Bowery Ballroom was absolutely packed — four deep in the balcony — and the love was flowing. Sharon understands that she has reached an important point in her career, but instead of basking in the moment, she gave out the love to her family, friends and supporters — many of whom were in the audience or guests on stage. The performance of “Love More” with Peter Silberman of the Antlers encapsulated the night — the support of talented friends helping Sharon spread her beautiful art. My own personal gratification at witnessing the elevation of this special talent to the type of adoration she deserves is truly heartfelt. Every hour I have spent working on nyctaper was made worthwhile in spades last night. Thanks, Sharon.

I recorded this set from the balcony rail with the four microphone rig. Bowery Ballroom’s sound engineer Kenny was totally dialed in this evening and the sound quality in the venue was superb. Also, the crowd was respectful during the right moments and raucous when appropriate. As a result, we are extremely pleased with the sound quality of this special concert. Enjoy!

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

January 9, 2011

By nyctaper

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!

Drive-By Truckers: December 30, 2010 Brooklyn Bowl – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

January 4, 2011

By nyctaper

[photo by Penny Lane from 3 Dimes Down forum]

Patterson Hood is an artist very much in tune with the varied influences in his music. It helps that he comes from a deep musical tradition — including famous father David Hood. At Brooklyn Bowl last Thursday, David performed three songs live with Drive-By Truckers, which included two Muscle Shoals classics. The eclectic cover selections for this show also included Warren Zevon (“Play It All Night Long/Ain’t That Pretty At All” streaming below) and what has become the band’s standard show closer, Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died”. While this night was a “warm-up” for their New Year’s Eve show at Terminal 5, the entire show lasted well over two hours, and provided more proof that DBT are also one of the most fan-friendly bands around. The setlist was spread evenly among all of their recent releases, and included just three songs from the soon-to-be-released (February 15) new album Go-Go Boots.

I recorded this set with the four microphone rig in the left side of the roped off soundboard area on the floor. Unfortunately, the distance, the problematic acoustics in the venue, and the chatty crowd created a not-ideal taping situation and the results are somewhat below the usual quality for this site. Its still a decent listening experience. Enjoy!

Jeff Tweedy: December 3, 2010 Maxwell’s – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

December 29, 2010

By nyctaper

The last time Jeff Tweedy played in room this small in the NYC area was the better part of two decades ago. As the opener of Yo La Tengo’s third night of Hanukkah, Tweedy seemed to recognize the rarity of the occasion and even communicated a little bit of sentimentality for the old days. The ultra-rare performance of “Gun” (streaming below) brought a reference to Uncle Tupelo having played Maxwell’s in the early 90s. We would catch Jeff play a full show at Bowery Ballroom the night following this show, but for one brief thirty-five minute set, he was back in the past. And that’s a pretty good thing.

This set was recorded by local taping legend “Laz”, who mixed a pair of vintage Beyer cards with a board feed for a superb capture. Enjoy!

NYCTaper Top 10 Concerts of 2010

December 28, 2010

By nyctaper

[photo courtesy of Camey Scott]

Here is our annual Top 10, a completely subjective ranking of our favorite shows of 2010. Acidjack will be along soon with our annual “highlights” post (with a downloadable song mix).

1. Holly Miranda August 8, 2010 Vivo in Vino
This night was without a doubt the best time I had at a show all year. The combination of great wine, great company and a relaxed solo performance by Holly led to a very memorable evening. It helped that Holly dedicated “I’d Rather Go Blind” to me personally. Her set consisted primarily of covers and her inimitable voice nailed each one of them. The guys at Vino are terrific people, and we partied with the rest of the wine on an East Village rooftop late into the night. An unforgettable time.

2. Yo La Tengo December 7, 2010 Maxwell’s
The best of the eight strong Hanukkah 2010 shows, this night featured the superb guitar work of Nels Cline. The extended jams of “Glitter” and “Hatchet” were song of the year contenders.

3. Built to Spill September 2, 2010 Rocks Off Concert Cruise
This show was the second best time we had all year — BTS playing literally inside of the packed crowd on the main deck of the Rocks Off cruise. The band seemed to thrive on the energy and the surroundings as their performance was lengthy and inspired — it was two hours of smiles all around.

4. Oneida March 19, 2010 Knitting Factory
Oneida live performances are always bigger than life. This one was perhaps the best we’ve ever seen this band. The show started with a crashing “Ghost in the Room” which gave way to an untitled new jam which endured for an unbelievable twenty-nine minutes. While the rest of the set could have been considered icing after that jam, it continued along in the same vein with tremendous versions of “Up With People”, “Sheets of Easter” and “I Will Haunt You” to close the show.

5. Holly Miranda May 26, 2010 Bowery Ballroom
I love these events where artists headline and sell out Bowery Ballroom for the first time. Its sort of like a signpost along their career path that reads “I Made It”. On this particular night, Holly not only “made it” but delivered a stunning performance — her Etta James cover is perhaps my favorite single song played this year.

6. Pavement September 19, 21, 22, 23, and 24 Williamsburg and Central Park
A reunion we truly never expected to see, this was a week-long celebration of the most enduring band of the 90s. The setlists varied, the band played two-hour shows, and they seemed to be having a great time. Pavement likely won’t be back again, so this was a perfect final send-off.

7. Woods June 25, 2010 Music Hall of Williamsburg
A band that just keeps getting better, Woods relaxed neo-psychedelia with folk roots can be at time twisted and other moments melodically simple. On this night it was the extended jams that made the show.

8. Tune-Yards August 2, 2010
The opening night of the Rock Shop was a winner. We came to see Sharon Van Etten, and stayed for the headliner. What we witnessed was an incredible live talent. Merrill Garbus creates intricate layered beats and strong vocals to propel her African-influenced songs. This night the packed venue rocked with every beat.

9. Owen Pallett April 24, 2010 Webster Hall
The most talented performer we saw all year. Its breathtaking that one person can create such huge symphony-like pieces, and the bonus is that the songs are well written with clever lyrics.

10. The Joy Formidable January 12, 2010 Pianos
We saw TJF three times this year, but this first show at the tiny Pianos really impressed. It was a ferocious performance, we predicted the obvious — that the band would soon be big — and were proved right when they headlined Bowery later in the year.

Honorable Mention:
Akron/Family March 3, 2010 Music Hall of Williamsburg
Ted Leo April 9, 2010 Irving Plaza
Panda Bear September 11, 2010 Governor’s Island
Pearl and The Beard September 25, 2010 Backyard Brunch Sessions
Sharon Van Etten October 8, 2010 The Rock Shop
Suzanne Vega November 14, 2010 Housing Works Bookstore
Jeff Tweedy December 4, 2010 Bowery Ballroom

NYCTaper Upcoming Schedule: A Happy New Year

December 27, 2010

By nyctaper

After recording nearly every night in the first half of December, we’ve been working behind the scenes over the last couple of weeks to post a backlog of recordings and taking a little rest from shows. However, when the calendar turns to 2011, we will be back out in earnest capturing many excellent shows for the site. Our goals for the new year remain steady — increasing the volume of recordings, expanding the site, and live streaming of shows. I’m confident that this is the year we will begin live steams in earnest.

[Below is the updated schedule. We expect to attend and record these events. However, circumstances will prevent some of these from being done, and others will be added in the meantime.]

If you want nyctaper to record your band, a band you represent, a show you’re promoting, or even your favorite band in the world, get me on the list and make sure everyone who needs to approve of the recording gives permission. Also, remember I’m doing this all for free — the recordings, the post-production, the reviews, the links, etc. — so treat me fairly.
