Dandy Warhols: June 5, 2012 Irving Plaza – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

In their nearly two decades as a band, The Dandy Warhols have done just about everything that musicians can do, in and outside of the music world. What continues to be refreshing about this band is there’s no “coast” in their vocabulary. Last month the Dandy Warhols released their eight studio album This Machine, which while it flew under the radar of most of the fad of the month publications, nevertheless continued to solidify the band’s catalog. When Pitchfork accused the Dandy Warhols of “going through the motions” we hoped that it was a knee-jerk reaction to a new album of a band nearing their second decade and from a publication known for mailing in agenda-fueled reviews. The album’s tour came to NYC this week and we caught the Irving Plaza show with a bit of trepidation. We expected that a band on autopilot would have performed an hour set with a few new songs mixed into the main set and the classics to close the show. Fortunately, the Dandy Warhols were just getting started at the hour point — a couple of band members actually took a bathroom break. Instead the band plowed through twenty-two songs that covered material from every single one of their albums. We are streaming the much-requested “Lou Weed” from their debut album. When the show ended with an extended version of “Boys Better”, the Dandy Warhols had played for two hours and barely came up for air. If this epic Irving Plaza show proved anything, its that Pitchfork is going through the motions and were both cynical and lazy in their assessment. The Dandy Warhols are as vital as ever.

I recorded this set with the four microphone rig on the floor of the venue in front of the balcony overhang with the microphone stand up to 15 feet to avoid the floor chatter. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Lee Ranaldo: December 16, 2011 Glasslands + December 22, 2011 Maxwells – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

April 3, 2012

2011 was an interesting and eventful year for Lee Ranaldo. As the 30th anniversary of Sonic Youth approached, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon split as a couple, and huge questions remained as to the continued existence of NYC’s foremost alternative rock band. Entirely coincidentally, Lee had also begun to work on a new set of songs that would ultimately comprise Between The Times & The Tides, released on March 20, 2012 on Matador Records. Other than another nonsensical hatchet job from the shark-jumpers over at Pitchfork, the album has received universal acclaim for being a superb set of well-executed songs — a “departure” from Lee’s previous experimental solo material. Back in December, the Lee Ranaldo band performed a number of local gigs, including a show at the Bell House, a headlining gig at Glasslands, and a surprise opening slot at Yo La Tengo’s Hanukkah shows at Maxwell’s. We were fortunate to capture two of these December events. The Glasslands show is a complete set including 9 of the 10 songs that appear on Between The Times, one cover and one of Lee’s Sonic Youth songs. The band includes SY’s drummer Steve Shelley, downtown guitar virtuoso Alan Licht and bassist Irwin Menken and the set was both well performed and well received by a packed crowd. Jesse Jarnow wrote an excellent piece for the Voice on the Glasslands gig. The unexpected appearance at Maxwell’s was a special treat — albeit a shorter opening set. Later that night, Lee and Steve would make an incendiary appearance during the YLT set (featured here), but the opening set was a heretofore unreported pleasure. We are streaming two songs from the Glasslands gig and one from Maxwell’s. Lee will be touring for the next couple of months, including dates opening for M Ward and a trip to Europe (dates here).

Each of these sets was recorded by mixing a soundboard feed with high end room microphones. For Glasslands, I utilized the DPA 4021s for warmth, and in Maxwell’s I used the Neumanns for clarity. The sound quality in each recording is different but each is superb. Enjoy!

Laura Stevenson & the Cans: February 11, 2012 Music Hall of Williamsburg – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

March 15, 2012

[Photos by acidjack]

Laura Stevenson & the Cans do not have much in common with their Don Giovanni Records labelmates stylistically – the label skews, with bands like The Screaming Females, a heck of a lot noisier.  But their performance this night at Music Hall of Williamsburg – in between the Screaming Females and gritty punk outfit For Science – was, like the Females’ (posted here), one of uncompromising quality.  It should be noted that Stevenson is not without her punk credentials, either.  Prior to going out on her own with the Cans, she was best known as keyboardist for the Long Island punk collective Bomb the Music Industry!, who will be her tourmates for the next few months along with the Felice Brothers, Screaming Females, and others.  Her band’s own music is more of the confessional, folk-influenced  singer-songwriter variety, and Stevenson executes her vision with a clarity and poise the reminds me of many of the things that have impressed us about other rising songwriters like Sharon Van Etten.  Along with songs from her first two records, including last year’s Sit Resist, Stevenson played several new numbers that portend a strong third album in her future.  Playing before a weekend punk crowd is hardly an easy task for any musician, but Stevenson did a fairly easy job of winning this crowd over.  At age 27, it might not be accurate to say Stevenson is a punk who has “grown up” – but perhaps it’s fair to say hers is grown-up music that punks can appreciate.

We recorded this set in the same manner as the Screaming Females recording, and it is a similarly nicely-balanced recording.  Enjoy!

Jump Into The Gospel: February 18, 2012 Pianos – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

February 24, 2012
By

Jump Into The Gospel are poised to step up to the next level. When we saw them back in June their melodic pop showed significant potential, but the Jump Into The Gospel breakout gig took place a couple of weeks back when they impressed those who came to see them open for Cloud Nothings at The Studio at Webster Hall. Last week at Pianos, I saw them again and the development of the band was striking. Lead singer Louis Epstein has mastered his stage manner and the band, which includes members of Holy Ghost and The Drums, is tighter and more focused. The thirty minute set included several numbers from the upcoming Gospel EP, due in March. At times, the music resembles the frenetic pop of Of Montreal and at others there is a definite neo-80’s sound more fitting a Captured Tracks band. The question is which type of pop band that Jump Into The Gospel is destined to be. Either way, it won’t be long before Jump Into The Gospel has moved on from smaller venues into a larger spotlight.

I recorded this set with a board feed mixed with the Neumann microphones centered in front of the soundboard booth, and the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Shellshag: February 11, 2012 Music Hall of Williamsburg – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

February 20, 2012
By

Shellshag was the second band to play at the Don Giovanni showcase at Music Hall last week, but based upon the crowd response and participation, the band could have played much higher in the bill. Shellshag is not a new band — Shell and Shag have played together for over a decade. A guitar/drums duo that sounds like a full band playing legit garage rock, these veterans of the San Francisco DIY scene since the 1990s are a blueprint of how two people with talent and passion can make compelling underground music and make it last. But their latest album on Don Giovanni Rumors in Disguise may be the complete realization of what the duo is all about, and although the too-short thirty minute set at Music Hall featured only two songs from Rumors (“Resilient Bastard” is streaming below), it also offered a overview of their catalog, a medley of garage rock covers, and a rousing finale where “Fuck Society” devolved into a noise jam of instrument-switching and amp-stacking. Shellshag is currently on tour on the East coast, and they return to NYC for a show at Death By Audio on March 11.

Acidjack and I captured this set in the same manner at the Screaming Females recording, and the sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

Larkin Grimm: February 2, 2012 Rock Shop – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

[photo by nyctaper]

In the two years since we last checked in with Larkin Grimm, much has happened in her life. When we recorded her at Knitting Factory in December of 2009, Larkin had a set of excellent new songs and a new album was expected soon. But Larkin received a wonderful gift in the interim — a baby boy. She also parted ways with Young God Records in a split that does not seem to be completely amicable. But in a fashion consistent with her incredible life story, Larkin persevered. This week her new album is out, and the self-released Soul Retrieval is the album we have been waiting for. The record features an abundance of Larkin’s strengths — her rich voice and the mystical nature that makes her so compelling. At Rock Shop on Thursday, Larkin Grimm celebrated the CD’s release with a special hometown show. She opened the show with two solo songs before being joined by her band. The trio worked through much of the new album, a couple of older songs, and then were joined by the entire Cuddle Magic band for the final two numbers. The show ended with the opening track from the album “Paradise and So Many Colors”, a terrific ensemble version that we’re streaming below.

I recorded this set with the Neumann microphones positioned in front of the soundboard, and mixed with an excellent board feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

Cracker: January 14, 2012 Highline Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

[screen cap from this youtube video]

As we noted in the Camper Van Beethoven post, there will be another East coast “Camp Out” this year. The main event for the multi-day show at the 40 Watt Club in Athens Georgia (March 1 to March 3) is the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Cracker’s debut album. On Saturday night at Highline Ballroom, Cracker headlined the show and played an energetic 75 minute set. Although this show was not exactly a preview of the Camp Out celebration, five songs from Cracker were performed, including the album’s opening track “Teen Angst” in the encore slot, which we’re also streaming below.

I recorded this set in the same manner at the Camper set and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

Camper Van Beethoven: January 14, 2012 Highline Ballroom – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

January 17, 2012

[screen cap from this youtube video]

Camper Van Beethoven has an extensive catalog dating back almost thirty years to their early 80s formation, which permits the band to play divergent setlists on any given night. But CVB has not released a new album since 2004’s brilliant New Roman Times. So it was a bit of a surprise to hear that Camper has three new fully formed songs that have been played on each night of the current tour, including Saturday night at Highline Ballroom. Of the three, the most impressive was “Too High For The Love-In”, a very Camper-like irreverent and catchy song that we’re streaming below. The balance of the set consisted of a variety of classics culled democratically from each of their albums. The set ended in high form with an energetic take on “Pictures of Matchstick Men” that we are also streaming below. The current tour ended last night in Boston, but Camper Van Beethoven returns to the East coast for another “Camp-Out” Fest, this time at the 40 Watt Club in Athens GA from March 1 through March 3.

I recorded this set with the Neumann microphones set up at the front right corner of the soundboard and mixed with an outstanding stereo board feed. The sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

The Cracker set was also recorded and will be posted in the coming days.

Suuns: December 10, 2011 Webster Hall – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

When acidjack recorded Suuns in January at Rock Shop, he noted the versatility of the band and the “controlled intensity” that the band brings to each song. By December, when I recorded their show at Webster Hall opening for The Antlers, Sunns seem to have perfected that approach. In one of the best-received opening sets we’ve seen in quite some time, Suuns began with the new 12″ b-side “Red Song” (streaming below), which presaged the compelling tension and release of the post-rock they delivered in spades. The balance of the setlist included much of their excellent 2010 release Zeroes QC (Secretly Canadian Records) and one new song. We expect that the continued development of this talented and imaginative quartet will bring to them to larger stages and audiences — it won’t be long before they’ll play Webster again as the headliner.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the Antlers set from the same show, and the sound quality is superb.

Kevin Devine: January 7, 2012 Maxwell’s – Flac and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Song

January 10, 2012
By


[screenshot from video here]

It almost unfathomable, considering the many many shows we’ve attended over the last decade, that we had not previously crossed paths with Kevin Devine. His abundant vocal and songwriting talents, and the picture perfect nature of his intelligent indie-pop records are exactly what we look for in a performer. So when we finally got the chance to catch Kevin at Maxwell’s on Saturday, the entire show felt completely natural. And when we met and chatted with Kevin after the show, he seemed like a kindred spirit. The songs themselves make it obvious that we are listening to a writer with vision, emotion and fortitude — dealing with life’s difficulties while persistently finding the beauty in it all. On Saturday, Kevin performed solo acoustic and while surrounded by diehard fans in an intimate venue, and delivered a powerful set that included much of his new album Between the Concrete & Clouds (Razor & Tie), but also dug deep into his catalog including classics “Cotton Crush”, “Tap Dance” and “Ballgame” (streaming below). Kevin even included a song from his old band Miracle of ’86 (“Knife”), and two new songs. Kevin Devine will be touring Europe in February, and will be back in the US for some Midwest dates in March, but promised some East coast dates in the Spring.
