Yo La Tengo: December 14, 2013 Bell House – Flac/MP3/Streaming

December 19, 2013

Yo La Tengo has never been shy inviting guests of all sorts to play live with them. Just peruse the pages of this site for audio evidence of the frequency and often mindbending success of those collaborations. For Saturday night’s show, the second of the Bell House run, they welcomed perhaps the most eclectic guest we’ve ever seen, a woman whose name we only heard as “Yen” playing a stringed Chinese instrument called the guzheng. Wikipedia tells us that the guzheng usually has 21 strings and movable bridges and it dates back about 2500 years. Although in recent years, the instrument has found its way into some rare rock and jazz compositions, the closest I’ve ever seen to this type of collaboration was during Bjork’s 2007 tour when Min Xiao Fen guested for one song on the Chinese stringed instrument the Pipa for all of the NYC dates. But that was one song. The Yo La Tengo guest played on the majority of the first (acoustic) set, and with one minor quibble, the instrument added a unique subtle depth to all of the tracks upon which is was featured. Perhaps my favorite song that featured the collaboration was “Paddle Forward”, where the rhythmic sound of the guzheng strings paralleled and enhanced the water imagery of the lyrics. The only song where perhaps the addition didn’t quite work was on “Green Arrow” where Ira’s slide guitar solos sounded too close in tone to the guzheng, and the climaxes sounded a bit cluttered. But all in all, this guest appearance was one of the more memorable and unique and was quite the success. For the electric set we were back to the trio and as with all the second sets this week, it raged from start to finish. This night’s closing song was a twenty-minute working of “Tango” that touched on all aspects of the band’s sound — quiet melody, rich harmonic instrumentation, thrash, unpredictable solos and a crescendo for the ages. The encores featured three covers and were icing on the cake of another amazing YLT experience.

I recorded this show with the Neumann Hypercards mounted on the rail in front of the soundboard and mixed with an excellent feed by veteran YLT FOH Mark Luecke. The sound quality is superb, enjoy!

Cass McCombs: December 12, 2013 Bowery Ballroom – Flac/MP3/Streaming

December 18, 2013

Cass McCombs new album Big Wheel and Others is a real departure from his recent work. In 2011, he released both Wit’s End and Humor Risk and both albums owed much to the influence of the more sleepy Laurel Canyon music school. The shows in support of those albums were compellingly mellow and in particular the Bowery show in 2011 was one of the best shows we saw all that year. But Big Wheel is anything but sleepy — its pretty much a straight rock album and an ambitious double album at that. The tour in support of the album has been a lengthy cross-country trip that arrived at Bowery Ballroom on Thursday night. Cass’s band is a quartet of individual renowned in their own right, with the drums manned by Joe Russo, whose name has popped up often on this site in 2013. Dan Iead from the late great powerpop band The Broken West played both lead guitar and pedal steal, with versatile ~~Portlander~~ Jon Shaw ~~(Battle Hymns and Gardens, Ez Weiss Quartet)~~ (correction, thanks to comment: “Wolf!, Shpongle, Nicole Atkins, The Broken West, The Complete Last Waltz, etc”) on bass. The strength of the band was obvious from the start, as the album opener led off the set with a burst of energy. We’re streaming that track below. The balance of the set was a nice mix of material young and old — there were just six of the nineteen Big Wheel songs along with a democratic selection from each of Cass’s prior records. The Cass McCombs US tour is over, but he’ll be in Europe for six weeks in January and February.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser Cards mounted at our usual spot in the center balcony. The room mix was quite superb with kudos to Cass’s tour FOH Chris Preston. We mixed in a very conservative amount of board feed to supplement the room mics and the sound quality is quite excellent. Enjoy!

During their expansive worldwide tour that consumed most of this year, Yo La Tengo tried an interesting concept: At every non-festival show, they would play the same song, “Ohm”, twice. The song would open the first, acoustic set, then pop up again somewhere in the middle of the noisier electric set that followed. It’s almost like they want to be sure we don’t miss the point. To paraphrase it, there is no point in resisting change.

Anyone who joined us for the band’s Hanukkah tradition at Maxwell’s last year, or in previous years, might well have nodded along to many of those lines from “Ohm” as they watched the band perched in front of the fanciful wooden forest on the much broader stage of the Bell House. Whether or not the band’s Hanukkah tradition survives, its spiritual home did not. The spirit at the Bell House on this first night contained both hope and regret. Even if that impossible-to-replicate intimacy of Maxwell’s was gone, even without the rotating cast of surprise opening acts and comedians and non-stop-wacky collaborations, we were still staring down four nights of sold-out shows by the ever-generous band, played to their hometown crowd. A band that, even as veterans go, came as road-tested as possible, arguably at the top of their powers.

Each of the four nights — each of which will be posted on this site in the coming days — followed the band’s tour-long acoustic/electric format, with only the Fade songs repeated (along with a few that cropped up as both acoustic and electric incarnations). Along with Ira’s hilarious banter during “Periodically Double or Triple”, the highlight of the acoustic portion was the cover of the Zombies’ “You Make Me Feel Good”, which made its only appearance of the tour. The electric set boasted the uncommonly played “Story of Jazz” and closed out on one of our favorite of the sprawling jam numbers, “Pass the Hatchet, I Think I’m Goodkind”. Anyone who didn’t expect YLT to pull something out of their hat for the encore by that point shouldn’t have given up hope so easily. Bruce Bennett of Brooklyn garage rockers The A-Bones parachuted in for an encore of three classic covers: The Seeds’ “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine”, The Flamin’ Groovies’ “Slow Death” (a 2013 debut) and Arthur Lee’s “Luci Baines”. The night closed on the quiet but hopeful coda of “Big Day Coming”, a song that echoed that message from “Ohm”. No need to lose time resisting the flow of change. These four nights of the holiday season were meant for celebration.

I recorded this set with a soundboard feed provided by the band’s longtime engineer Mark Luecke combined with Schoeps MK4V microphones. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Nights 2, 3 and 4 will be posted in the coming days. Thanks, as always, to Yo La Tengo, Mark and their incredible crew, and to Jesse Jarnow for the setlist.

These Animals: December 6, 2013 Mercury Lounge – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

December 17, 2013

By acidjack

[Photos by acidjack]

The indie pop band These Animals came to Mercury Lounge a couple Friday nights ago and made the rather crowded bill (three-band early show, two-band late show) their own. The four-member crew met while studying music production at SUNY Purchase, and that shows in their melodic approach and knack for arrangements. As they have said in interviews, they aren’t afraid of writing pop songs, and that shows on unabashed feel good numbers like their latest single, “Hunting Horn”, which is streaming below. They’re a good kind of band to see after a long work week, filled with optimism and good nature that comes through between and during songs. Best of all, this set found us treated to an encore (!!!) that included some hilarious Tom Petty and U2 teases, before the band cranked out the night’s highlight, “Four to the Floor”, also streaming below. You can find out when the band’s upcoming shows will happen, and check out more of their music, here.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK4V cardiod microphones and a soundboard feed from the house engineer, David. Aside from a couple mid-set songs where a few overly chatty audience members decided to congregate right under the microphones, the sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

65daysofstatic: November 24, 2013 Bowery Ballroom – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

December 12, 2013

By acidjack

[bad photos by acidjack]

The Sheffield, UK band 65daysofstatic are among the leading lights of Great Britain’s post-rock movement. Almost thirteen years after their formation and ten after their debut EP, Stumble.Stop.Repeat, the band showed this crowd at Bowery Ballroom why they’ve endured. Even going back to their first album, The Fall of Math, 65daysofstatic were ahead of the times, adding glitchy electronic noises over the top of their cinematic compositions. The band strikes me as less guitar-driven than many of their peers generally; the cresting waves of guitar are still very much there, but they feel more of a component to the sound rather than the band’s reason for being. Consider, for example, “Prism”, the band’s latest single, from their 2013 album Wild Light, or the piano-driven “Taipei”. Most of this set was drawn from Wild Light, but we also got a taste of the band’s earlier material, such as a sweeping version of The Fall of Math’s “Install A Beak In the Heart that Clucks Time in Arabic”. Considering that the band chose a New York live set for their 2009 live record Escape From New York, I can’t say I was surprised by the outpouring of love from this crowd, who treated 65daysofstatic as enthusiastically as the headliner, Caspian (that recording here).

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK5 microphones and a flawless soundboard feed from the house engineer, Kenny. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

The Numbers Band (15.60.75): December 6, 2013 Bowery Electric – Flac/MP3/Streaming

December 11, 2013

By nyctaper

[photos by P Squared Photography]

The Numbers Band (aka 15.60.75) is the fount from which much of the great Ohio-based music of the last four decades emanates. If that’s too big a statement, then let’s look at the facts. The Numbers Band debut album Jimmy Bell’s Still in Town was once described by Pere Ubu’s David Thomas as “one of the great moments of our culture”, and another time as “the only good album ever recorded by anyone”. The band’s members have included Gerald Casale (Devo), Chris Butler (The Waitresses, Tin Huey), and Terry Hynde (Chrissy Hynde’s brother). The band’s leader Robert Kidney has played with Anton Fier in the Golden Palominos, and along with his brother Jack with Ubu’s David Thomas. In 2012 Robert was awarded the Cleveland Arts Prize Lifetime Achievement Award. Locally in Ohio the band is a legend, but outside the midwest The Numbers Band is woefully under-appreciated and has never quite eclipsed cult status. On Friday night, the band returned to NYC for their first show here in many years to promote the re-issue of Jimmy Bell’s by the excellent Brooklyn-based but Ohio-centric record label Exit Stencil. It was very satisfying that Bowery Electric was packed to the rafters and the band both acknowledged and played off the energy of the crowd. Robert in particular, even given his age and recent health woes, seemed to be in great spirits and in prime form. The set began as the album does, with “Animal Speaks” and this version was on fire — we’re streaming it below. The energy never let up as the band worked through many Jimmy Bell’s tracks and a few deep cuts before they played essentially two encores. In the end it was really an honor to capture this set and gratifying to see a legendary band capable of an epic set and still around to receive the crowd adoration they deserve.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser Cards mounted about 15 feet from the stage and mixed with a fine board feed. There was some crowd yapping at the back bar that can be heard during quieter moments, and a tad bit of peak static in the vocal mics at high volumes, but those are fairly minor flaws to an otherwise superb recording. Enjoy!

Eagulls: October 16, 2013 Glasslands – FLAC/MP3/Streaming

December 9, 2013

By acidjack

[Photos by acidjack]

The Leeds, UK punks Eagulls aren’t one of your pretty sort of “punk” bands. Having taken a rather bizarre and uncompromising posture from the get-go (they hate “beach bands” and those that incorporate “Afrobeat” among other easy targets), Eagulls bear the burden justifying the attitude in the live setting. Happily, this CMJ New Music Marathon showcase at Glasslands showed off the harder-edged side of the band in a way that suggests they can back the smack talk up. Frontman George Mitchell brings more heat on his own than most entire bands, yowling into the mic like he’s screaming his argument at a long-hated relative in the back of the room. Their short burst of a set wasn’t filled with a lot of conventionally pretty moments, but it made its point. The band has put out an EP on Canadian-based Deranged, a suitable space to share with such acts as Fucked Up and White Lung, but their U.S. full-length comes your way by longtime friends of the site Partisan Records, whose generous eclecticism makes their catalog as unpredictable as it is enjoyable. Look for that release on March 4 here in the U.S. Until then, put these guys on your calendar.

I recorded this set with our usual setup for the venue, with Naiant X-R microphones and a soundboard feed. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

The Notekillers: November 5, 2013 Trans Pecos – Flac/MP3/Streaming

December 8, 2013

By nyctaper

[photos by Allen Yee]

The Notekillers are one of the more interesting and unique stories in music, an history that we outlined when we recorded the band nearly two years ago at a benefit for Jonathan Toubin. The Notekillers have not played an NYC show since that night in 2012, but the band came together for another special night on Thursday. The space at 915 Wyckoff has been dormant since the Summer of 2011 when the Silent Barn was closed. In the interim, the building has been brought up to code and ToddP has now opened the new fully legal venue Trans Pecos on the site. Thursday was the debut show for the venue and we were fortunate to be there and get a good look at the place. The venue will continue to evolve in terms of physical layout and site upgrades (including outdoor patio) and the music and entertainment aspect will be produced by a series of excellent curators. The fine Brooklyn boutique label Northern Spy Records will curate every Thursday and their first event was a eclectic mix of genres. The Notekillers set was forty minutes of their proficient instrumental avant punk/prog/jazz and it was engaging from start to finish. From up close, it was a treat to watch a musician of such accomplishment as David First, but the band is truly a trio of equals as bassist Stephen Bilenky and drummer/saxophonist Barry Halkin certainly held their own. The band played songs from both their 77-81 Compilation and their 2011 comeback album We’re Here To Help, including “Eyelash” that we are streaming below.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cardioids mounted on-stage in the middle of the three performers, and mixed with a slight bit of soundboard feed as enhancement and volume for the sax. The mix is primarily the onstage mics, which captured the sound superbly. Enjoy!

The Blind Shake: October 27, 2013 285 Kent – Flac/MP3/Streaming

December 4, 2013

By nyctaper

[still from this video]

When Thee Oh Sees toured last month, John Dwyer brought Minnesota’s The Blind Shake on the road with them. Last month, we saw Blind Shake twice in NYC, but much preferred the more intimate 285 Kent set. The band plays an angular brand of garage punk, not dissimilar from Thee Oh Sees, but with a decidedly less 60s feel and perhaps a bit of a post-punk edge. Their set at 285 was fast and furious — the band literally took no significant breaks in between songs, so that they played 13 songs in barely 30 minutes. The Blind Shake have two full albums, an EP and several singles and their most recent record Key To A False Door is on Dwyer’s Castle Face Records. The setlist drew from their releases and also seems to include some unreleased tracks. The band just completed a lengthy US tour, so there are currently no dates but we’ll be sure the catch The Blink Shake when they return to NYC.

I recorded this set in the same manner as the Thee Oh Sees set and the sound is excellent. Enjoy!

Beach Fossils: November 22, 2013 285 Kent – Flac/MP3/Streaming

November 29, 2013

By nyctaper

[a still from unartignyc video of entire show]

Beach Fossils began their set last Friday at 285 Kent midnight show at about 2 am. The band has been on tour since late October, and this was their homecoming party. As these “friends-only” shows tend to be, this night was loose, fun and at times inspired as heck. The show was really two shows — the first half a standard run-though Fossils favorites, including a nice mix of songs from both albums. The second half of the show began with the pairing of “Careless” and “Clash The Truth” — long versions with extended noise jams. It was after the introduction of Chris Hansell and the cover of anti-hardcore band No Trend (“Reality Breakdown”), that things began to get wild. For the balance of the set, the band played extra loose and the final two songs were crazy and cacophonous — and extremely fun and entertaining.

I recorded this set with the Sennheiser cards mounted on the beam ten feet from the stage and mixed with a board feed. The sound quality is excellent. Enjoy!

This set was also recorded on video by UnArtigNYC, and those videos can be found [here].
