Bleeding Rainbow just released their first album, Yeah Right, under that band name, but the husband-and-wife team of Rob Garcia and Sarah Everton have been making music together for several years. As the band Reading Rainbow, the pair put out a couple of lo-fi records that hinted at, but didn’t fully deliver on their potential. With Yeah Right, the band has a masterfully produced record that does. Now joined by Greg Frantz on drums and Al Creedon on guitar, the beefed-up lineup has developed a rich, shoegaze sound with a newly-minted pop sheen. This show at Glasslands was the first NYC gig for the Philadelphia band since the record’s release, and they came out blazing. After a brief false start, the band launched into an extended version of the record’s leadoff track, “Go Ahead”, followed by the record’s next to two tracks, “Pink Ruff” and “Drift Away”.  One thing that sets Bleeding Rainbow apart from many like-minded acts is that they aren’t afraid to actually sing rather than let their vocals be buried in the washes of MBV-style guitars. Though Everton provides the lead vocal on most tracks, Garcia’s harmonizing with her gives the songs added depth. The pair mesh well together live, feeding off of each other’s energy, and enjoying the added freedom lent by the new personnel.  Bleeding Rainbow have set themselves on a path that will give them even more room to grow, and we look forward to watching that happen.

I recorded this set from our usual position in the venue with Schoeps MK5 cardiod microphones and a soundboard feed provided by longtime Glasslands engineer Josh.  The sound quality is excellent.  Enjoy!

NYCTaper Presents: Endless Boogie Record Release Party w/ Arbouretum and Hans Chew at Cameo Gallery this FRIDAY, Feb 15

Facebook Invite / Tickets [HERE]

Endless Boogie
Endless Boogie
Whether you’re sick of Valentine’s Day shenanigans or not, you owe it to yourself to join your fellow music fans at Cameo Gallery this Friday, February 15, as NYCTaper presents a triple bill from three excellent live bands that we dig. NYC’s Endless Boogie are fixtures of the local rock scene, and deservedly so. We first saw them opening for Pavement during their reunion tour a few years ago and have followed them with interest since, as they have cranked out some positively deadly LPs like the double Full House Head on local No Quarter Records.  As their name implies, EB play big songs with fat, chooglin’ riffs that you might remember from the 70s, if you’ve been alive that long. If not, this is what you missed. The show will be the release party for their new No Quarter release, Long Island, the first track of which recently debuted on NPR. If you want more Boogie than that NPR taste, there is also a three-hour (remember that word, “endless” in the name) live set from WFMU online.  Or, you know, just  come to the show and find out what they’re about in the raw.

Arbouretum

This show’s out of town guests, also introducing material from a new record, are NYCTaper veterans Arbouretum.  This will be their first NYC show since their latest Thrill Jockey release, Coming Out of the Fog.  If you managed to catch their set at Glasslands back in 2011 like we did, you know to expect some tightly performed, heavy-rocking Southern-influenced psych rock with a strong literary streak.  Coming Out of the Fog is their most focused work yet and these guys’ live show is not to be missed. See what we mean by streaming our 2011 recording below:

Hans Chew

You may have first met the piano boogie wizard Hans Chew when he played the NYCTaper CMJ Day Party back in October. If you didn’t, you missed a barnburner.  Hans kicked off that show with almost all-new tracks, and a few months later, he’s got even more new material to share.  Hans will start this night off at 8:30p.m. sharp, and he should more than wet your whistle for the next acts to come with his high-energy and endlessly entertaining style that takes its honky-tonk roots into the 20th century.  His Three Lobed/Divide by Zero LP Tennessee & Other Stories is not to be missed, and we expect a new release from him this spring if things go according to plan.

We hope to see you at Friday’s show.  Once again, tickets are HERE and the Facebook invite is HERE.

Woodsman: January 25, 2013 Mercury Lounge – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

February 6, 2013

The Brooklyn-by-way-of-Denver band Woodsman make a unique brand of rock that features unconventional song structures and a mystical, blissed-out vibe.  While their excellent 2011 release, Rare Forms, was a good listen, the band had already evolved beyond it by the time of its release, as evidence by the Mystic Places EP that followed it shortly after.  As evidenced by much of the new material played during this opening set at Mercury Lounge, the band’s last year or so found them moving the goalposts again.  Here, the band performed a series of pure instrumentals, all of them save their 2012 single release “All Tangled Up” being brand new. These songs are about developing texture and mood, almost totally absent the bombastic dance-floor sound that kicked off Rare Forms or the Spiritualized/Pink Floyd-style rock sound that characterized much of Mystic Places. Part of the change in feel owes to the band’s shift from a two-drummer four piece to one-drummer trio, which, depending on which of their styles you like best, could be addition by subtraction.  These new compositions show considerable promise for the forthcoming third LP, in particular the night’s final complete number, “Ruin”.

I recorded this set with MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones and a soundboard feed from the talented longtime Mercury Lounge engineer Kevin. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Thanks to Woodsman for letting us post the recording, and their help with the setlist!

The Amazing: January 25, 2013 Mercury Lounge – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

January 31, 2013
By

amazing2013-01-25-1

The Amazing hail from Sweden and share some members with that country’s well-known retro-psych outfit Dungen (our most recent recording of them HERE).  While The Amazing also share some stylistic traits with that band, most obviously the stellar guitar work of both bands’ lead guitarist Reine Fisk, they also stand as a distinct entity. The Amazing’s sound is a more nuanced affair than the rock behemoth that is Dungen, and their songwriting is more wistful and textured.  Frontman Christoff Gunrup sings in English, and that combined with the instrumental approach gives The Amazing the caste of a folkier, almost countrified version of Dungen.  This show at Mercury Lounge found the band celebrating the release of their latest record, Gentle Stream, their second full-length LP and first to be released by our good friends at Partisan Records. The boys served up material from all three of their current records, with an appropriate amount of emphasis given to the latest effort. This was their final NYC show for a bit, but don’t ignore a chance to see these guys, wherever they may be.

I recorded this set with MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones and a soundboard feed from the talented longtime Mercury Lounge engineer Kevin. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Trey Anastasio Band: January 24, 2013 Capitol Theatre (Port Chester, NY) – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

January 29, 2013

[Photos by Bahram Foroughi. See his website HERE]


The band Phish will be celebrating its 30th year of existence this year – an impressive feat for any band, but even more so for one as consumed with playing long, varied sets that maintains a pretty intense tour schedule when they’re out.  But as Trey Anastasio reminded us at the beautifully refurbished Capitol Theatre in the Westchester suburbs last week, his Trey Anastasio Band project has had some staying power of its own. This year marks that band’s fifteenth anniversary, and that showed. It might even be fair to say that, with a less rigorous schedule and many fewer dates in each of those years, this band has more room to grow as a unit than the mothership itself. Trey has long since been at a point in his career where he can do what he wants, and TAB gives him even more freedom to be as eccentric and humorous as he wants to be. From the Honey Boo Boo jokes to the inspired cover of Bob Marley’s “Small Axe”, this second night of the Capitol run showed a band and a leader comfortable with where they are and thoroughly enjoying the tunes they had to offer.  The set included some less-played numbers like “Greyhound” and “Words to Wanda”, and of course, some songs from Trey’s new record, Traveler, including our favorite, “Valentine.” Three of us from the nyctaper crew attended the show, and I think it’s fair to say a good time was had by all.

The Capitol Theatre is a welcome new (re-)addition to the NYC-area venue scene. The site of some legendary Grateful Dead shows has been lovingly restored to its former glory, with the added bonus of a friendly, competent and cool staff.  We wish the new venue well and hope to return soon.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK41 microphones from the official taper section of the venue, joined by Johnny Fried Chicken Boy and hi and lo.  While the Capitol asks that we keep mic stands fairly low – meaning closer to chatty audience members – we found the sound in the spot to be nearly flawless, and the resulting recording reflects the theater’s fine acoustics and the outstanding effort’s of Trey’s FOH team. Enjoy!

My Brightest Diamond: January 23, 2013 Bowery Ballroom – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

January 27, 2013

[photos by acidjack]

I can still recall my short, sharp gasp upon first hearing Shara Worden, aka My Brightest Diamond, bring the song “Be Brave” to its climax. It was one of those precious moments for me when an artist’s gift comes into focus, and goosebumps and rapt awe follow; when you realize you’re hearing somebody who is that good.  The song’s theme of metamorphosis is expressed in both the mask Worden wears while performing it, as well as in its explosive peak.  “Be changed, or be undone” is the song’s refrain and message, and it is an apt one for Worden’s music.  With a singular vision that combines classical training, cabaret flair and colorful arrangements, Worden’s palette has few borders and her ability to use it has few equals. Her music evolves, progresses, breathes, grows.

Like Björk, David Byrne, and The Dirty Projectors, Worden achieves the feat of making intellectually engaging music without alienating her music’s pop core. That skill affords her both the critical acclaim that she so deserves, as well as a dedicated, educated audience large enough to easily fill the Bowery Ballroom on a Wednesday in the dead of winter, after a holiday weekend. At least New York’s freezing temperatures of late are no worse than the weather conditions in Worden’s adopted home of Detroit, where she decamped in the late 00s after spending the formative years of her musical career here. Surveying the adoring crowd, she told us she missed us.

Now three albums in under the My Brightest Diamond moniker, Worden’s writing has never been sharper or more engaging than on 2011’s All Things Will Unwind, which has a follow-up in the works.  Worden played three of these new songs, “That Point When”, “Looking at the Sun” and “A Bronze Head” at this show. The first two tracks suggested a continuing evolution toward the orchestral pop of All Things Will Unwind, but “A Bronze Head” is pure angular rock, pairing No Wave-ish guitars with a soaring vocal that reminds you, if you’ve forgotten, of Worden’s opera training.  After last seeing My Brightest Diamond in smaller configurations duo recently (once at a private Obama fundraiser, once at a late afternoon performance at MoMA), experiencing the project as a full band, doing a full set, reminded me of just how awesome the range of Worden’s styles can be; the straight-ahead rock of “Golden Star” from her first record and “Inside A Boy” from her second fit right alongside songs like “Be Brave” and “Escape Routes”. Worden is indeed a brave artist; she is also an indisputably great one.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK5 microphones and a soundboard feed of the flawless house mix by longtime Bowery engineer, Kenny. The sound quality is outstanding, perhaps the best recording I have made in this venue. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Shara Worden for giving permission to make and share this recording.

Lake Street Dive: December 27, 2012 Bowery Ballroom – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

New York might be the home of the next Alabama Shakes, if Lake Street Dive have their way about it. Like their contemporaries down South, the NYC (originally Boston) band channels country and early 60s R&B propelled by a powerful female lead vocalist. Frontwoman Rachael Price has earned accolades as a solo singer, and is the centerpiece of a talented band where several members contribute songs and ideas. This Bowery Ballroom show, opening for the Infamous Stringdusters, gave Lake Street Dive a chance to debut some new songs along with some classics from their self-titled 2010 record, plus a choice cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” from their 2012 EP, Fun Machine. Expect to see more from these talented players this year as they prepare their next record, some of which they previewed at this show.  The band is on a swing through the much-warmer Southeast right now (tour dates here) so check them out if you’re down that way.  Enjoy!

I recorded this set with MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones and a custom-made analog preamp. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Hospitality: January 10, 2013 Bowery Ballroom – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

January 14, 2013

[Photos by Dominick Mastrangelo]

Hospitality‘s eponymous LP on Merge Records was one of the more underrated records of 2012. Short on gimmicks but filled with concise pop songwriting and excellent hooks, Hospitality is one of those records that may not blow your mind, but it can make your afternoon.  Here in New York, the band sold out Glasslands handily for the record release party, and played other area shows at bigger venues like Brooklyn Bowl. But their Bowery moment ended up being postponed; this show was originally scheduled for the week in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, when Manhattan’s best-loved venue was without power. Despite that bit of bad luck, the band put on a hell of a show for us at this rescheduled date. Along with some of their finest ear worms like “Friends of Friends” and “Betty Wang”, the band debuted three new songs, “Nightingale”, “Experience” and “Going Out”. But the set’s highlight may have been them playing both sides of their 2012 seven-inch release back-to-back in a seamless jam, with “The Drift” moving seamlessly into “Monkey”. The new songs have a slightly harder edge, and that suits the band well. I am glad they got this much-deserved second chance at their Bowery moment; Hospitality has much more to offer.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK5 cardiod microphones and an excellent soundboard feed from the Bowery Ballroom’s longtime FOH, Kenny, with the band’s mix provided by Hospitality’s own FOH, Jiwoo Han. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

The Soft Moon: January 8, 2013 Mercury Lounge – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

softmoon2013-01-08-2
[Photos from the Glasslands show in September by acidjack]


If this Mercury Lounge show represents the new normal for The Soft Moon, this will be the last time I will be able to see them in a venue this size. After catching their sold out Glasslands show over in Brooklyn back in September, I knew they were on the way up.  Three months later in Manhattan, the San Francisco band showed that momentum is still going. This show kicks off a mini-tour for the band that will take them up to Boston, out to Chicago and Columbus, and down South before they wrap things up in Washington, DC later this month. The band’s live act seems at times like a note-perfect rendition of their two records, The Soft Moon, Zeros and the Total Decay EP, which makes sense for a band whose sound relies upon the dark, at-times cold vibe created by their electronics. The band comes across confident and polished, perhaps reveling in the semi-anonymity created by playing in total darkness, with only their window blind-like video projections lighting the room. If you happen to be in any of the cities listed here, you owe it to yourself to check them out in a small club while you can.

I recorded this set with a soundboard feed by head FOH Kevin Mazzarelli and MBHO KA500N hypercardiod microphones. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Eidetic Seeing: November 27, 2012 Union Pool – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

January 9, 2013
By


Eidetic Seeing are continuing work into next year on a successor to their first LP, Drink The Sun, and since I last caught up with them at Public Assembly earlier this year, they’ve already made some evolutions in the new stuff. On a night filled with different psych/noise leaning artists, the Brooklyn psych rockers were easily the youngest band on the bill. If it scared them to be opening for Gibby Haynes, Dave Shuford’s latest project and a Japanese guitar god, they didn’t show it.  Among the treats of this 33-minute set was the set closer and a brand new track, “K-2”, along with evolved versions of the new “White Flight” and “Ashplant Blues” that will appear on the band’s forthcoming album. Their last album, Drink the Sun, recently appeared on a few year-end lists despite not even being released this year! Keep these guys on your radar screen in 2013 – there’s more to come.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK5 cardiod microphones in the balcony and a soundboard feed from the house.  The board feed was used minimally, as you will notice the keyboards were mixed a bit more loudly than ideal in the feed.  The sound of this set is excellent. Enjoy!

Eidetic Seeing will be at Union Pool again this Friday, January 11.
