Shannon Lay: June 28, 2024 Tubby’s

October 2, 2024
By

Shannon Lay’s new single “Mirrors” got a lot of play around my house this Spring.  It’s beautifully recorded and sounds like the sunlight that filters through the trees and lights up my kitchen while I cook. So it was a pretty sweet and timely surprise to see her coming to Tubby’s on a stacked triple bill with Anna St. Luis and Shana Fullana.

Shannon’s songs are so intricately crafted that it’s had to find a single point to dissect them.  Do you lead with the profoundly introspective lyrics or the mind-boggling finger-style guitar playing?  Or maybe you should focus on her tremendous vocal control? 

I will start with the guitar playing because I spent most of the night trying to understand it. Her technical command seemed effortless but was never overshadowed by the profoundly emotional resonance of her playing. Her playing came from a place of pure vulnerability, drawing listeners in with the raw intensity of her expression.

The set was drawn from her entire catalog and included the aforementioned “mirrors” and stellar covers by Elliott Smith and Karen Dalton. Every song felt like a highlight, but a particular moment felt most affirmative.  After a brief acknowledgment of Kingston’s parking woes (a local hot topic), she settled into “Come Together” off 2017’s “Living Water” and somehow, what started as a discussion of parking tickets turned into a moment where could collectively reflect on all of the outside pressures and ills. We could choose to ignore those stressors and move forward to positivity:

“We all have enough

Come on shake your broken shoulders

Come on move your broken shoes

Come together”

I’d like to give a special shout-out to the Tubby’s crowd on this particular evening. Generally speaking, recording solo acoustic singer-songwriters in a bar is an exercise in futility.  You can only do so much limiting, but everyone was incredibly respectful of the songs and performers, and you can hear that in the recording.  The quality is excellent, so please enjoy.

    75 Dollar Bill: September 30, 2023 Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary

    September 11, 2024
    By

    The NYCTaper coverage of the Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary continues with 75 Dollar Bill!

    On March 7, 2020 I went to Tubby’s to see 75 Dollar Bill.  I had contacted Che beforehand via email to ask permission to record, and he was gracious enough to approve. So for the duration of their two sets, I stood as still as possible (so as not to create phasing issues with the tiny mics clipped to my hat) and recorded what eventually became the “Live at Tubby’s” album.  I knew during the performance I was witnessing something special.  The feeling in the room was electric with everyone completely lost in the polyrhythms and endless white-hot solos being fired off from the band. It was easy, in the moment, to be oblivious to what was on the horizon.  

    In the coming days and months, that recording became something else completely. 75 Dollar Bill’s record “I Was Real” got good press, but the band couldn’t play to support it. Tubby’s, a new venue at the time, had just had its highest-profile show to date and now had to shut its doors. No one knew when things would return to normal.  The band released the recording as a “pay what you want” on one of the first “band camp Fridays.” Then, a label chose to press it to vinyl. Then Rolling Stone put it on its year-end list.  Suddenly, during a time when no one could go anywhere, a tiny venue in the Hudson Valley had a worldwide reputation. That recording became a reminder of what was and what could, hopefully, be again someday. Since that release, word has gotten out, and tons of excellent bands have come through, but it is safe to say that 75 Dollar Bill was the first “big” name associated with Tubby’s.  

    When Cory first mentioned that he was planning a large-scale celebration for Tubby’s fifth anniversary, 75 Dollar Bill’s inclusion seemed obvious.  The last set of the weekend to take place in the actual venue had to be them, and that’s precisely what happened.  The same lineup from that night in 2020, supplemented with three additional members, set up on the floor in the front room by the bar and took us on a journey.  

    The set opened with “Water in the Lock,” which should have been the first track on “Live at Tubby’s,” had I not missed the intro and started the recording halfway through. A run of “Tetuzi Akiyama” off the aforementioned “I Was Real” was next before the band jumped head-first into the meat of the set. First was a new composition titled “21,” in which the band stretched out to over 26 minutes of dense rhythms and solos. The night closed, just as it did in 2020, with a 20+ minute version of WZN#3 with Tim Barnes leading the charge on Maraca. 

    I recorded this set with the same little AT-853’s and Roland R-07 I used in 2020 blended with a soundboard feed from Tubby’s FOH team of Wil and Kyle.  The quality is excellent and full of life so enjoy it loud and be happy we can all celebrate music together in person again.

    Seawind of Battery: August 10, 2024 Deep In The Valley

    August 27, 2024

    The NYCTaper coverage of the 2024 Deep in the Valley festival continues with Seawind of Battery! 

    Mike Horn brought his Seawind of Battery project to open this beautiful day on the farm. Mike is no stranger to this blog, but it’s the first time we have featured him since the release of his gorgeous new album, “East Coast Cosmic Dreamscaper” on Warhen Records.  Mike was kind enough to send me an advanced copy of the album and I was instantly impressed with the direction he has taken this project.  He could have released “clockwatching pt 2” and made many people happy but chose to continue to explore ambinet landscapes finding a zone that’s more cosmic and less country. I don’t think Mike is close to running out of space to move this project. 

    On this afternoon the Battery powered us with its duo configuration of Mike on signature telecaster and effects and Jarrod Annis on lap steel. The set opened with “Maze of Roses” the first of three songs from the excellent new album.  It was followed with a personal favorite, “New Moon” which I first heard last summer when they come up to play Tubby’s. Structurally the tune remains the same but there is an obvious confidence that the duo, with a year more experience together, can now project. The cosmic dance feels more like cosmic swagger now. 

    Beginning  9/11, Mike will host a bi-monthly show with CAMP Radio (3pm EST / 9pm CEST) called “Battery Operated.” This show will be a sonic journey through experimental, psychedelic, ambient, cosmic Americana, and spiritual Jazz.  Tune in and get recharged!

    This was recorded from stage lip with my MBHOs and wonderful soundboard feed from FOH engineer Daniel Stout. The quality is fantastic! Enjoy!

    Vague Plot: August 9, 2024 Tubby’s

    August 23, 2024
    By

    As if the 2024 Deep In The Valley festival wasn’t enough, the good folks at Raven Sing the Blues organized an incredible preshow kick-off the night before at Tubby’s.  This Friday night bill included Jeffery Alexander & The Heavy Lidders, Oneida, and appearing for the first time at Tubby’s, Vague Plot. 

    Vague Plot began as a jam session and coalesced into a full-time band with their first release on Island House. Their origins in jam sessions blur into their sense of composition. What’s spontaneous? What’s orchestrated? Does it matter when the when the results are thrilling? To me, it certainly doesn’t. Each of these tunes is filled with dynamic and interesting playing, from the dual guitar work of Zachary Cale and Uriah Theriault to the sax and keyboard excursions from Phil Jacob to the pulsing rhythm section of Ben Copperhead and John Studer.  A personal favorite of the night, “Time Blind” sees the band’s ability to weave ideas together into a patchwork of repetitive and hypnotic playing. Is it written? Is it a jam? Who cares, it sounds great! 

    Vague Plot has some September dates lined up including two (9/28 & 29) with Sunburned Hand of the Man and Jeffery Alexander & The Heavy Lidders. There is also a 9/12 show with long time favorites The Ladybug Transistor.  Get out and see a show! 

    I recorded this from my usual spot by the soundboard with the MBHOs and a board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Wil.  Enjoy!

    Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders: August 10, 2024 Deep In The Valley

    August 19, 2024

    Photo by Christopher Bruno

    The NYCTaper coverage of the 2024 Deep in the Valley festival continues with Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders! 

    Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders became the first group to play at the festival twice, having appeared in year one.  For this set, the core four were joined by Wednesday Knudsen (sax) and Ron Schneiderman (guitar), and John Moloney (percussion) fresh off their set with Sunburned Hand of The Man.  The septet configuration of the Lidders gave us a one-song set. One 45-minute version of the classic psychedelic mind fuck, “Dark Star.” 

    Phil Lesh once said, “Dark Star is always playing somewhere.  All we do is tap into it.”  On this day, Dark Star was being played in a field near an apple Orchard in Red Hook NY and the Lidders absolutely tapped into it. Rumor has it, upon playback, one member of the band had a full psychedelic experience complete with walls moving.  Live, it hit me so hard I was forced back to my camping chair to recalibrate for about ten minutes.  Your mileage may vary. 

    This was recorded from stage lip with my MBHOs and wonderful soundboard feed from FOH engineer Daniel Stout.  The quality is excellent.  Get your mind right and blast off!

    Idle Ray: September 29, 2023 Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary

    June 10, 2024
    By

    The NYCTaper coverage of Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary returns with Idle Ray!

    Idle Ray’s set in the arc of the Tubby’s anniversary party was crucial. The day had started pretty bleak. Massive storms had essentially made travel out of New York City impossible, and several bands, and fans, had to cancel travel arrangements. I had been at the venue the previous night setting up gear and staff morale was super high. When I got back that afternoon I arrived to less than peak vibes, but things started turning around quickly. A couple drinks, the first band hitting the stage, a surprise fill in from Wild Pink and suddenly things were looking good. By the time Idle Ray hit, no one was talking about the storm. It was party time.

    Idle Ray’s inclusion on the bill made perfect sense. Fred Thomas, Idle Ray’s primary songwriter, is a long time veteran of Detroit’s vibrant music scene with credits on far too many records to list. He has performed several times at Tubby’s as part of the excellent Detroit based DIY/Punk band Tyvek and is also in Winged Wheel with one of Tubby’s owners. Recorded mainly during Covid, the Idle Ray project was created as an attempt at “going back to basics of recording on cassette four-track and having it be more about interesting sounds and feel than perfect performances or getting an industry-standard snare sound.”

    The studio recordings are all Fred. For this show, Fred handled guitar and lead vocals with Devon Clausen on bass and Frances Ma on guitar and lead vocals, with backing drum machine tracks. I was unfamiliar with the material before this, but the hooks are there. It took all of half of the set opener “Overlook” to be glad I had hit record. The trio brought all the fuzzy power pop glory anyone could want to the evening. Great songs, well played and a nice bonus of some great stage banter. Fred mentioned one of the songs was about the time his ex ran for Mayor of his town. His summation of the experience; “SSUUUCCCKKKEEEDDDD”. It never occurred to me that the only way the endless forced misery of political campaign advertisements could be more hellish is if your ex was featured in them.

    You can catch Fred back in town playing with Winged Wheel at Bearsville theater (with Guided By Voices!) on 8/10. You can also catch Tyvek, sans Fred, at Tubby’s on 7/27.

    Recording for this set differed pretty significantly from the normal Tubby’s set up. Since they had two “stages” with two different sets of speakers, I had to set up two different sets of mics and recorders and start and stop each between bands. Thankfully, I was able to get a board feed from the main console in the back for each “stage”. I combined the front room mics with the board feed for the recording you have here. It sounds excellent; full of life and screaming guitars. Crank it!

    Writhing Squares: April 27, 2024 Tubby’s

    June 4, 2024
    By

    Writhing Squares has long been the duo of Kevin Nickles and Daniel Provenzano accompanied by a drum machine, both in the studio and live. But for their most recent album, Mythology, they changed things up a bit with a live drummer by bringing on board John Schoemaker. Embarking on a short tour for the album, the band brought along David Joachim to drum live. After a release show in their hometown of Philadelphia (which you can watch on YouTube) the trio hit Tubby’s at full volume. Most of their set hails from the aforementioned Mythology, plus “NFU” from Chart For the Solution and “Steely Eyed Missile Man” from Out of the Ether. There’s something ineffable about the Writhing Squares sound, especially in their pummeling live show. While Chart For the Solution conjures The Running Man with its dystopian Krautrock, Mythology is harder to pin down. It wasn’t until their final song, a cover, that I realized what they were channeling: the band leans in hard to their prog roots with a heavy, vigorous take on King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man.” There aren’t many bands that could pull off such a feat—all hail Writhing Squares!

    I recorded this from our usual location at Tubby’s with a board feed from FOH, Will. As usually Tubby’s sounds great under Will’s boardwork and this recording reflects that. Enjoy!

    Mountain Movers: September 30, 2023 Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary

    April 25, 2024
    By

    The NYCTaper coverage of Tubby’s Fifth Anniversary returns with site favorites Mountain Movers

    The Movers have been at it for a while but still seem fresh. In fact, this was probably the most vibrant set I’d seen from them. They came out firing with “My Holy Shrine”; the first taste of the new material available on their forthcoming record “Walking After Dark”. This new gem was followed by old favorite, “Freeway,” with the Movers doing what they do best; washing the crowd in psychedelic guitar play, feedback and hypnotic rhythms. They are truly one of the most reliable purveyors of modern psych on the scene. 

    This excellent set gave us a first glimpse of some of the new material and the preview was mighty good. The new album is out May 17 on the always dependable Trouble In Mind records. NYC folks can also find the Movers as part of an excellent bill at The Broadway in Brooklyn on June 1. I expect, and hope, we will see move dates as the release gets closer. 

    I recorded this from the usual spot at the soundboard with my MBHOs and excellent board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Will. Enjoy!

    Rosali: April 10, 2024 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

    April 11, 2024
    By

    In 2022 Rosali came to Tubbys and played the best set of music, by a significant margin, I saw that year.  I always enjoyed her records.  She is a masterful writer who brings raw-nerved honesty and beauty to life in every song.  But what happened that night was something totally unexpected.  Backed by David Nance’s band, Mowed Sound, they made those songs sound alternately like your favorite blanket during a thunderstorm or a freight train coming at you full speed.  This felt like seeing The Band and Dylan finding their footing or Neil Young’s first jams with Crazy Horse.  This serious praise probably seems hyperbolic, and maybe it is, but several people I spoke to after that night had similar feelings. At the end of that recording, you can hear me turn to Tubby’s ace FOH engineer Will and say, “HOLY SHIT!” I was hooked.

    Flash forward to a few months back when Rosali announced her new album, “Bite Down,” (Merge Records) had been recorded as a band with this same ensemble.  Excitement and expectations were high, and the final product delivered on every bit of that hope. The lead single, “Rewind” exhibits the ease with which this band finds its sound.  A personal favorite, “My Kind,” is packed with the manic energy of love that makes you feel like you can run through a wall.  It’s early in the year, but I struggle to see how this record doesn’t end up very high on my personal “best of” list.

    The last test was the live show.  Was the feeling in the room that night in 2022 an aberration?  Was it really that good?  Could it have been that good?

    Yes.  It’s that good.  They are really that good.

    Opening with the gentle “May it Be on Offer,” it’s immediately obvious that this is, somehow, a better version of that band from 2022.  More comfortable with the dynamics of the songs and not as reliant on their obvious ability to lay waste to a room with force. The journey through the set list lets you experience that change in real time.  Starting soft and ending with a ferocious guitar onslaught of “Bones.”  If you close your eyes, you can see the faded glory of Rock and Roll and, for a moment, you can believe they are the last ones flying that flag.

    I recorded this from the usually spot by the soundboard with my MBHOs and an excellent board patch from Tubby’s FOH engineer Wil. Enjoy!

    Horse Lords: March 18, 2024 Tubby’s

    April 4, 2024
    By

    Something truly magical happens when a band mixes extreme volume with extreme repetition. When you add atypical melodies, tones, and time signatures the result is a wildly transcendental, disorienting and psychedelic listening experience. Few people do it as well as Horse Lords

    I first heard about Horse Lords from EricPh’s post on this site back in 2015 and was immediately drawn in. I instantly knew this was the music I wanted in my life. The blending of polyrhythms and microtonality of West Africa with the propulsion of krautrock and the intensity of the best live punk band you’ve ever seen. This is a ferocious live band. 

    Over the hour long set Horse Lords marched through much of the material on their excellent, new live record, “As it Happened: Horse Lords Live”. The crowd was fully invested with the only interruptions in performance coming from an occasional ecstatic scream from someone in the audience having a moment. No judgement, I had a few myself. I’m honestly not sure how the band manages to maintain this level of intensity and precision. I was exhausted just standing there drinking beer.  

    The band just wrapped up a bunch of US dates and are about to begin a short swing through Germany and the UK followed by some West Coast dates in June. GO SEE THIS BAND

    I recorded this from the normal spot by the board with my MBHOs and an excellent feed from FOH engineer Will. The quality is outstanding. Play this one LOUD.
