The one time I saw alt j I thought the UK Radioheads brother in arms were the worst live band I’d ever seen BUT it was crowded, it was a festival, and their pretty good second album hadn’t seen the light of day yet. This is MSG and the new album, with great songs like “Every Other Freckle” waiting to be nailed on stage, well, maybe time for another look. PS: A Monday but at least it’s not T5.
Monday – Aswell & Ingrosso – Terminal 5 – Two thirds of Swedish House Mafia, and for once the soulless hangar that is T5 might work for it.
Monday – Swervedriver – Mercury Lounge – Melodic shoegaze meets indie rock pop with a fine album just released
Tuesday – Misterwives – Bowery Ballroom – Indie popsters woth the excellent Borns opening. A good line up.
Tuesday – Houndmouth – Rough Trade – Rough Trade signing on Rough Trade label, sold out…
Wednesday – Jessie Ware – T5 – One of the better singers to come out of the UK in the past five EDM filled years.
Thursday – Bayside – Best Buy Theatre – Queens rockers still knocking it hard
Saturday – Chet Faker – T5 – Has it only been a year since Built On Glass? It feels much longer…
Saturday – Diarrhea Planet – Bowery Ballroom – Worst named but possibly catchiest songwriters on the indie scene.
