Eternal Tapestry: October 14, 2011 Glasslands – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

October 18, 2011

[Photo by acidjack]

Portland’s Eternal Tapestry brought their heavy left coast psych rock to Glasslands this past Friday night, performing three long-form compositions of their densely layered guitar, bass, and saxophone (an instrument that seems to be making a big comeback lately!). The first two numbers came from the band’s latest record, Beyond the 4th Door, but the final track, “Doing Your Own Being”, was my personal highlight. With its eastern-inflected sax melody, the song is not only compelling, but rare. Released only on the very-limited-edition box set, Not the Spaces You Know, But Between Them on North Carolina imprint Three Lobed Recordings, this was likely many audience members’ first exposure to this incredible tune. Eternal Tapestry have reportedly made several records by essentially culling down live in-studio sessions, so unsurprisingly, the actual live show is a thing of beauty, as the band reworks and expands upon their songs on the fly. They don’t make it out east as often as we would like, so don’t miss them on the next go round.

I recorded this set with the DPA microphones mixed with an excellent board feed from Josh at Glasslands. As usual for this venue, the sound is excellent!

Shinji Masuko: October 10, 2011 Knitting Factory – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Full Show

October 17, 2011

By acidjack

[still from this video]

Shinji Masuko is a revered cult figure among aficionados of latter day Japanese experimental rock. Perhaps best known for his work in DMBQ, and more recently as a guitarist for Boredoms, Masuko is a renaissance man of the scene, also making a huge contribution in music journalism. He was also instrumental in raising money for Japanese musicians who were victims of the tsunami, an effort in which Oneida and NYCTaper participated. It was a rare treat for us stateside to get to see Masuko in a “solo” (with a bassist, whose name I regretfully do not know) performance at the Knitting Factory, where he played a complex guitar-based piece that referenced Japanoise, psychedelia, and Japanese folk and tribal music. A rapt crowd of music fans stood in awe of a piece that in some ways echoed Boredoms’ “Boadrum” pieces without the drummers. Masuko has also put out a recent set of compositions, Woven Music, on Brah Records, which is a can’t miss for fans of psychedelic guitar work.

I recorded this set with the AKG large-diaphragm microphones and a nicely balanced soundboard feed from the Knitting Factory team. There is a bit of DI hum on the board feed in quiet parts, but the recording is overall outstanding. You can stream the entire performance below, along with the usual downloads. Enjoy!

Mt. Eerie: September 21, 2011 285 Kent

September 29, 2011

Phil Elverum is one of those elusive and otherworldly presences in music, who can take the simplest organ line or bell tone and build a surprising, hauntingly beautiful song around it. Best known for his work under the moniker The Microphones, Elverum rechristened the project Mt. Eerie in the middle of the last decade, but continues with many of The Microphones’ themes and sounds. This show at 285 Kent, presented by the legendary ToddP, had the type of intimate feel that echoed the very bedrooms where Elverum has made many of his compositions. This nine-song set showcased material new and old, and represented Elverum and the touring band’s triumph over what had been a very finicky PA system earlier in the evening. The band followed this show with a Monday performance at Le Poisson Rouge – another venue of considerable charm – but really, what better place to see a bedroom recordist than one of the Brooklyn scene’s coolest living rooms?

I recorded this set with the DPA microphones near the right stack, coupled with a soundboard feed. Other than some light noise from a fan near the mics during the first couple songs, the sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Caveman: September 17, 2011 Beekman Beer Garden + August 19, 2011 Cameo Gallery – Flac and MP3 Downloads and Streaming Songs

September 28, 2011

By nyctaper

In the last six weeks, we have twice had the pleasure of seeing one of Brooklyn’s brightest new bands — each time supporting an nyctaper-favorite band. In August when Caveman opened for War On Drugs at Cameo Gallery, we were unfamiliar with the band. Their sound features prominent keyboards, which naturally draws comparison to 80s bands, but its the heavy rhythmic elements that align them with contemporaries like The Dodos and Local Natives. Following the Cameo show, Caveman played a sold-out CD release show for their debut album CoCo Beware at Mercury Lounge. We caught them again after the Mercury coming-out party, this time at the Beekman Beer Garden with The Hold Steady. Perhaps it was my imagination, but it seemed that in a month since the Cameo show, Caveman was playing tighter and with more confidence. “Old Friend”, which flows live from the instrumental “Vampirer” was a strong end of set number that features a driving beat and the sweet melancholy vocals of Matthew Iwanusa, and we are streaming it below.

I recorded the Cameo show in the same manner at the War On Drugs recording, with the Neumanns supplemented with a mono board feed. The Beekman show was recorded with the four-microphone rig directly in front of the soundboard cage. The sound quality of both sets is excellent. Enjoy!

Funky Meters: September 14, 2011 Brooklyn Bowl – FLAC / MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

September 23, 2011

By acidjack

[Photo by Jill for fortheloveofbrooklyn]

NOLA’s legendary Funky Meters, the successor to the even-more-legendary Meters, put on one of their now-regular multi-night stands at Brooklyn Bowl earlier this month, and this Wednesday night show was a standout. While the band’s shows back in February faced some hiccups, the band was fully on point this night as they delivered an almost two-hour set of nearly-continuous music. Along with NOLA classics from themselves, the Meters, Allen Touissant and others, the band showed their virtuosity with rock n’ roll as well, with numbers like the opening “Down By the River” (Neil Young) and the Dylan classic “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35”, stretched into a 7-minute funk number. “Just Kissed My Baby,” which we had seen covered by Soulive at this very venue earlier this year, was positively on fire, but with apologies to that fine band, the (almost) original blew the newcomers out of the water. As the best shows at this venue tend to, this one got the dance floor packed and the brews and good times flowing. Sure, we were a long way from the Treme – but at least the Funky Meters could make us feel a little closer.

hi and lo, Johnny Fried Chicken Boy and I recorded this set with six high-end microphones and preamps from a close-up spot in the venue. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Hoop Dreams: August 2, 2011 Glasslands – FLAC/MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

September 22, 2011

Without question one of my surprise favorite performances of the year was Hoop Dreams, a Blacksburg, Virginia band signed to Captured Tracks. We caught them on a summer night at Glasslands with a packed crowd, typical for a PopGun Booking, and for what was likely their NYC debut. While having only recently released their first single XCPR (which has found a permanent place in my daily playlist) this summer, Hoop Dreams performed ten highly polished songs. With the captivating voice of vocalist Max Brooks and bass-driven melodies, Hoop Dreams could easily be the kid brother of Depeche Mode and The National.

Acidjack and I captured this performance with a pair of Schoeps Cardioid microphones and mixed it with an excellent soundboard feed provided by the house. We hope you enjoy this breakout performance and fantastic recording!

Umphrey’s McGee: September 9, 2011 Brooklyn Bowl – FLAC / MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

September 12, 2011

By acidjack

[still from this video]

If you look at the bands I generally post about on this site, most of them tend to fall pretty far from the “jam band” category. But you can’t really be in the hobby of taping without being aware of this rich, diverse and somewhat pejoratively-titled genre, and the Chicago band Umphrey’s McGee are one of the rising stars of the scene. So, three of us – hi and lo, Johnny Fried Chicken Boy, and myself – hit up UM’s final show at Brooklyn Bowl, the culmination of a five-night stand at the venue that has rapidly become a staple for improvisationally-minded bands when they come through the NYC area (a trend even picked up on by the review of Thursday’s show in The New York Times). It being a Friday night, fans came ready to party, and UM rewarded with two full sets of their staple extended numbers as well as their usual offerings of fun covers like Van Halen’s “Hot For Teacher”, all backed by an outstanding light show.

The vibes from the band and crowd were all good, although the Brooklyn Bowl PA was oddly not very loud (good for conversation, bad for music). Still, you couldn’t deny the virtuosity of the band, whose dense musical explorations often turned in unexpected directions, led by their dueling guitarists Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger. UM are known for a heavier sound that references prog-metal acts like King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd and Iron Maiden (and if you closed your eyes during a few parts, Metallica) that sets them in a unique position between the traditional funk/bluegrass/folk sound of some of the older bands in the scene and the “rocktronica” sound that has gained popularity of late. Heady instrumentals like “Push the Pig” demonstrate that intersection of prog and “jam” music perfectly, combining a funky groove with a proggy guitar sound. And, it should be mentioned, as a live experience, these guys just throw a hell of a party. The three of us stumbled out of the show happy, for sure.

The band’s recent blitz of NYC was to promote their new record, Death By Stereo. Although it was largely ignored at this show, there are some amazing packages available if you buy DBS online, including the opportunity to tune into all-request webcasts where the band will play fan requests, band favorites, and acoustic and solo material.

Three of us recorded this show from one of the usual taping spots in the venue with our mic stand as high as it would go (about 15′) to avoid crowd chatter, using three sets of high-end mics and a variety of similarly high-end pre-amps. Although the somewhat low PA volume meant a few chatterers here and there weren’t completely drowned out, and the venue’s layout presents certain sonic limitaitons, hi and lo’s outstanding post-production mix of these three sources has produced a recording that captures the sound and feel of the show perfectly.

Skeletons: August 25, 2011 Glasslands – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

September 9, 2011

By acidjack

[photo by acidjack]

Originally a solo project of Chicago native Matt Mehlan, Skeletons‘ lineups change frequently, but their commitment to challenging, engaging post-rock does not. Skeletons are reflexively described as “experimental”, but that tag ignores Mehlan’s proclivity for making music that can be as catchy as it is complex. This show at Glasslands, courtesy of PopGun Booking, kicked off with “More Than The One Thing,” a feel-good tune whose combination of tribal, global sounds with pop songcraft brings to mind acts like Vampire Weekend and Here We Go Magic, and followed, as it does on the band’s latest record, with the similarly catchy “Wal-Mart and the Ghost of Jimmy Damour.”

But in case anyone was worried that Skeletons were bowing to the college-rock set, Mehlan took the show in a radically different direction, with a combined 22-plus minute combination of the free jazz referencing “Paint Over It” which segued directly into “Grandma”, with its engaging lead guitar and propulsive beat. “Thank you for making it through that,” Mehlan joked at the end of that mini-epic, but he needn’t have apologized for what was, in my view, the highlight of the set. One of Mehlan’s greatest strengths is his ability to change directions rapidly and weave disparate elements into a cohesive whole, and this combination spoke to that fusion element perfectly.

I found some songs, in particular the first two, slightly more accessible (meaning, poppy) than their versions on the band’s latest record, People, which is released on the Oberlin-based Shinkoyo. That may also owe to the fact that this show was played by the band’s leanest lineup – Mehlan also enjoys playing shows as the “Skeletons Big Band”, which gives him a much more expansive sonic palette to play with. While People was well represented at this show, it is worth delving into Skeletons’ back catalog as well, including the excellent Lucas, which was released on Ghostly International in 2007 (and represented at this show by the melancholy slow-burner “Push ‘im Out”). I’ll be looking forward to Skeletons’ next show – hopefully with the big band!

I recorded this set with a perfect soundboard feed combined with the DPA microphones and an analog preamp. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Wavves: June 18, 2011 McCarren Park – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

September 7, 2011

By nyctaper

[Photo courtesy of MaryAnne Ventrice]

We have covered Wavves from the very beginning — their first NYC show at Market Hotel was featured on NYCTaper. Their sets at Mercury, Bowery, and Knitting Factory followed, and this Summer we were fortunate to capture Nathan Williams’ latest incarnation of the band at McCarren Park in front of 5000 people in a set opening for Guided By Voices as part of the Northside Festival. While the crowd was a mix of younger Wavves fans, local Williamsburg music fans, and folks who undoubtedly were old enough to have seen GBV in the 90s, Wavves did get a pretty universal positive reception. The set consisted primarily of straightforward and tight renditions of the material from the first two albums. At its best, Wavves is the kind of power punk that even grizzled music fans like the GBV faithful can appreciate, and apparently did, as Wavves set went off without a single indication of impatience for the much anticipated headliner. Nathan and Wavves have parted company with Fat Possum Records, and will release a self-distributed EP in two weeks, entitled Life Sux.

We recorded this set with the Neumann microphones mounted dead center in front of the soundboard about 50 feet from the stage, and mixed with a finely mixed soundboard feed. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

This Spring, we were fortunate to catch Megafaun four times in a span of less than three weeks. The final performance was their opening set for Sharon Van Etten at Music Hall in April. The set featured several new numbers, and now four months down the road the band is poised to release their new album (self-titled) on Hometapes Records on September 20, 2011. The band will also launch tours in September through Europe and the US. The local dates are a pair of nights at Mercury Lounge, on Saturday September 24 and Sunday September 25. We expect to capture at least one of the Mercury dates.

I recorded this set with the Neumann microphones on a stand in the upfront of the right side of the balcony, fifteen feet from the stage. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!
