This is a rejuvenation of the lists we used to do in the early days of the site. I’m trying to get every year up in this category, so this is a look back four years at 2011. The following year (2012) will be available soon, and 2015 will go up in January. That will complete a full listing of the entire NYCTaper archives and make available every recording in our history only two clicks away. Again, don’t take this as an invitation to download massive quantities of recordings. If I find someone downloading 10 or 20 shows at once, I’ll block your IP address.

Lee Ranaldo: December 16, 2015 Market Hotel

December 23, 2015

He spent more than half his life in one band, but if anything is evident from Lee Ranaldo’s career after Sonic Youth is that’s he perhaps the most versatile artist performing in NYC these days. We were there when Lee launched his band in support of his first proper solo album. The band that eventually became The Dust have played consistently over the last four years and are responsible for three albums since 2012. Over that period, Lee has also performed solo acoustic sets, acoustic duos, and as we experienced at Trans Pecos last month, as an acoustic trio. But there has always been more than guitar. Lee’s earlier works have also included spoken word, poetry and art installations often in conjunction with Lee’s wife the renowned artist Leah Singer.

12162016 Sleater Kinney 03475

The show that Lee Ranaldo performed as the opening set at the grand re-opening of the Market Hotel was in many ways a synthesis of his many artistic endeavors. It was a duo with the percussionist Tim Barnes with Lee nominally on “guitar”, but the piece was more of a stretching of the boundaries of how to “play” a guitar. The set began with Lee’s guitar hanging by a rope from the ceiling and continued with Lee’s use of the instrument in previously unimagined ways. He used the venue as part of the piece as the stage floor, the ceiling pipes and the front pillar (@marketpillar) became means by which the guitar was played. As Barnes accompanied Ranaldo with flourishes of percussion, often subtle but at other times manic, Lee maintained a cacophonous symphony of noise that reverberated around the packed and buzzing venue. It was a glorious inauguration for the Market Hotel and christened the venue with the type of imaginative and inventive programming that will surely follow as the calendar turns to 2016.

Lee will be performing solo again at the City Winery for Joseph Arthur’s 6th Annual New Year’s Day Celebration, before heading to Europe for solo dates in late January and early February.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cardioids mounted on the second Pillar and mixed with a board feed. The sound quality is quite outstanding. Enjoy!

Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band: December 12, 2015 Trans-Pecos

December 21, 2015
By

Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band

Over the past couple years—and 2015 especially—this site has developed quite a rapport with Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band, resulting in six separate recordings in 2015 alone, plus a pair from 2013 and 2014. So it was only fitting that we booked this year-end engagement at one of the few clubs Forsyth & co. had yet to play: Trans-Pecos.  I’m happy to report that the show was a raging success and that all were rewarded with what is truly the standout set of the year. Having recently announced the second proper album with The Solar Motel Band on No Quarter, The Rarity of Experience (preorder it here!), the band graced us with not only a pair of newer tracks we hadn’t heard before (the impeccably titled “The First Ten Minutes of Cocksucker Blues,” and “Boston Street Lullaby”), but played some older ones we hadn’t heard in a while either. The set’s centerpiece is a sprawling three-parter, consisting of the older “Paranoid Cat” into a transitional jam that takes us into “Solar Motel Part II.” A twenty-five minute epic that left the room spinning. Easing us out of 2015 with the quiet closer “Boston Street Lullaby,” we look forward to what 2016 has in store for Chris Forsyth. And no doubt, we’ll be there to capture more exciting shows to come.

I recorded this set with the mics set up at the stage lip, combined with a board feed from Trans-Pecos FOH, Ned. The results are outstanding. Enjoy!

This is a rejuvenation of the lists we used to do in the early days of the site. I’m trying to get every year up in this category, so this is a look back five years at 2010. The following years (’11 and ’12) will be available soon, and 2015 will go up in January. That will complete a full listing of the entire NYCTaper archives and make available every recording in our history only two clicks away. Again, don’t take this as an invitation to download massive quantities of recordings. If I find someone downloading 10 or 20 shows at once, I’ll block your IP address.

NE-HI: October 15, 2015 NYCTaper Unofficial CMJ Show, Cake Shop

Chicago’s NE-HI have only been around since 2014, but they’ve already made a name for themselves in the local scene with their sharp hooks and the immediacy of their live performance. All of that was on display back in October at our unofficial CMJ day show at Cake Shop, in which the band kicked things off with their earworm single “Drag” and kept the momentum up throughout. These guys are fellow travelers with beloved Chicagoans Twin Peaks (our recording of them here) and it’s easy to see the kinship between sounds. They, like Twin Peaks, are vets of Chicago’s DIY scene, but their album production is straight-up professional, befitting the quality of their sound. Having now been signed to a major tour promoter, I’d say it’s likely we’ll be seeing NE-HI on many more bills come festival time. If they pass through NYC before then, make sure not to miss them.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the other recordings from the day, with Schoeps MK4V at the stage lip together with a soundboard feed. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Natural Causes: September 11, 2015 Hopscotch Music Festival (Raleigh, NC)

Natural Causes

Our pal David Schwentker reports:

A year ago, local North Carolina garage rockers Last Year’s Men played the first night of Hopscotch Music Festival, having quietly dropped their long awaited second album, “Underwhelmed”, via Bandcamp earlier in the week. The album did not live up to it’s title and built on the hooks and wiser- than-their years lyrics of their earlier records, but there were signs that the band may be on its way out. For one thing, guitarist Geoff Schilling had joined Flesh Wounds as their bassist, and drummer Ian Rose and guitarist Ben Carr had joined up with Charlotte rockers Paint Fumes. However, the Last Year’s Men members weren’t done playing together either, and a jam session experiment turned into a brand new band with Rose switching to synths and vocals, Schilling taking over drums, and Carr remaining on guitar and vocals. The new trio was dubbed Natural Causes and they quickly began playing shows and honing their new, more urgent sound built on a combination of post/synth/garage punk sounds. The new tunes featured guitar work that slashes and crawls over top of woozy, unsettling keyboards, and lyrics that tackle classic punk themes of dread, anger, boredom, and anxiety with a healthy dose of humor.

Fast forward to this year’s Hopscotch and Natural Causes had already played a significant number of local shows, recorded and released a debut album on Snot Releases, written more songs, and hit the road for a two week east coast tour. Booked for an opening slot on Friday night at CAM, the band was a perfect pairing to kick off the night ahead of Nots, a gnarly synth driven punk band of kindred spirits from Memphis, TN. Natural Causes blasted their way through 4 songs off their debut 12″, plus five new songs destined for future releases, showing off their knack for tense sets, pushing and pulling tempos from song to song, all with a collective, wry grin. Including their day party sets on Friday and Saturday afternoons, Natural Causes played three sets in just over 24 hours, and generated a fair amount of positive press with each show. Look for much more to come in the year ahead.

The Friday night set at CAM was captured by area taper Rumbleset, with the same setup as the Moon Duo recording previously posted on this site: two sets of mics, Church Audio CA-11s on the ceiling and Shure SM-57s on stage, combined with a soundboard feed. The sound quality is outstanding.
