Calgary's, Sled Island Festival is fast approaching. Have you found a ride / couch to crash on? We had a b. l. a. s. t. last year ( photos ) and it has now become an annual pilgrimage of little sleep and a lot of bands. Some 2011 headliners. Blonde Redhead - My Plants Are Dead (GAMES RMX) Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love [...]
by Andrew Sacher Interpol @ Terminal 5 - 5/8/2011 In a time where the genre is thriving, dream pop vets Blonde Redhead reminded the audience at Terminal 5 last night (5/8) that they're still on top of their game. Performing with a fervor unlike many of their contemporaries, Blonde Redhead delivered a tremendous set comprised of songs off their two most recent albums, 23 and Penny Sparkle . Kazu Makino and Amedeo Pace fed off each [...]
Recommended Show: SUNDAY, MAY 8, 2011 BLONDE REDHEAD @ TERMINAL 5 610 W 56th St New York, NY 10019 $50, 7PM Yeah, I know that this is a little pricey for a Blonde Redhead show, but I guess some Interpol band is also playing, which adds to the price somewhat. Movits! @ Bowery Ballroom Jonah Matranga @ Mercury Lounge (early) The Twees @ Mercury Lounge (late) Reggie Watts & Tommy Smith @ PS 122 Mail [...]
Interpol @ Coachella 2011 ( more by David Andrako ) Interpol are now on tour , hitting the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park, NJ tonight (5/6) ( their first time playing Asbury Park in a decade which isn't that weird actually because how many times does a band really ever play Asbury Park?) (it's weirder that Interpol have been around long enough to even have that statistic), followed by a Saturday show in Rhode Island with School of Seven Bells, and than a [...]
Fans waited impatiently for Battles to arrive on stage Tuesday night. The sold out show at the Bottom of the Hill certainly drew attention to the band's new album, Gloss Drop . Fans were mostly curious to see what the band would sound like without their past singer, Tyondai Braxton . But hours after the doors had opened, both fans and band members were eager to start an energetic rock show. Drummer John Stanier immediately started to work up a sweat by shaking some sleigh bells for their first song. As [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Lykke Li, Sleigh Bells, Blonde Redhead "Pir er Pat - Water" What's so good? Thrill Jockey released The Flexible Entertainer in January 2010, and I can't believe it's been hidden in plain sight ever since. I first came across Pit er Pat's Emergency at a library sale, wore out the disc, and [...]
So it looks like I may have been one of the last people on earth to have ever listened to New York City based alternative rock band, Blonde Redhead . Just the other day I was exchanging music with Pooch and a couple friends in town from LA. One of them mentioned Blonde Redhead , expecting both Pooch and I to have heard of them. Turned out neither of us had. Since then, I've been listening band none stop. Although I have yet to conquer the band's full eight album [...]
"Hot pink volcano in the heart of the tornado, is shaking the lemonade tree..." That´s right, here´s one more hand picked, hot pink six pack to turn you on. In this installment of Colour Me , the Kirkwood brothers see mirages left, right, and center, Grant Hart mourns a junkie friend, while Blonde Redhead space out under a blue blue sky. Plus: sweet Gene Vincent´s got it all, except the lady he wants of course, Lou Barlow´s Sebadoh pays a heavy tribute to Nick Drake, and Blitzen Trapper goes glam in pink padded slippers. Dig it? Buy some featured [...]
Penso di avere una ventina di episodi riguardanti i negozi di dischi ( che esistono. E sabato è il Record Store Day , ossia l'ipotetico giorno ideale per entrarci dentro e comprarli. I dischi, intendo. Poi, volendo, qualsiasi data è adatta a comprare un disco nei negozi di dischi. Io ne ho presi due ieri. Se ne prendono sempre almeno due ). Uno riguarda quella volta che fogonai (passato remoto del verbo fogonare, sinonimo di bigiare, marinare ecc.) con un amico a Reggio Emilia. Prima decidemmo di bere alcune birrette. Dopo andammo a comprare dei [...]
So to prevent myself from wanting to buy lottery tickets, whining uncontrollably or any other irrational behavior due to Coachella's imminent commencement, I've taken solace in the future. You should too, because there are a lot of amazing bands and artists touring after Coachella and potentially coming to a major city near you! Among them are Odd Future, Blonde Redhead, Mountain Goats, Bright Eyes, Archers of Loaf, This Will Destroy You and Julianna Barwick . Some of you will also be lucky enough to catch a few of the supporting acts, like Interpol, Megafaun, M. Ward, [...]

Battles — Sweetie & Shag (Featuring Kazu Makino) "Ice Cream" , what with its huge, sweeping hooks and laser-guided grooves, hushed a good lot of naysayers who doubted the potential of Battles ' sans-Tyondai lineup. Yes, it wasn't "Atlas" , and yes, it did leave a slight taste of 311 lingering on the tongue, but it was still unmistakably Battles in all their chopped-up math rock glory. While it's too early to hold Gloss Drop [...]
We recently announced that Blonde Redhead is returning yet again in support of Penny Sparkle with a date on Friday, July 1 at EchoPlex as part of Check Yo' Ponytail 2. If you missed out on tickets for their EchoPlex...
Blonde Redhead will be back on the road again soon, to do mostly West Coast dates in the U.S. The tour kicks off with some dates in Canada on June 20th in Winnipeg, then will roll through Seattle through L.A....
Following a pretty lengthy North American tour for new album Penny Sparkle last fall, Blonde Redhead will be taking it easier this summer. At least, if the band's newly announced tour schedule is any measure. The New York art rock trio will be sticking mostly to the West Coast for this month-long road trip. Beginning in Winnipeg on June 20th, Blonde Redhead will play the first four dates in Canada. The band will then continue on downward for a tour of the major U.S. coastal markets, starting with [...]
Blonde Redhead is back again to play a local intimate venue! We recently saw Blonde Redhead at the Glass House and Music Box back in November in support of Penny Sparkle, but now Blonde Redhead will return to play on...
Interpol and Blonde Redhead will play a benefit show at Terminal 5 in May for an organization that offers medical care to uninsured artists in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Sickday Safety Net gives members of the creative community flat-rate, in-home care with no recurring membership fees. The event, called the Sickday Fuzzy Sock Hop, is set [...]
Interpol @ Radio City in Feb. ( more ) Interpol , who recently announced a partnership with the Creators Project to bring "a new visual experience to match (the band's) live set," has announced more tour dates including May 6th at Paramount Theater in Asbury Park, NJ and May 8th at Terminal 5 in NYC . It's unclear who's opening the NJ show, but Blonde Redhead are definitely also playing the NY one which goes on " Sickday " presale [...]
When Shabazz Palaces played their first ever live show on the 8th day of 2010 it was too early in the year to know how special it would be for live music, but by mid-April I had a pretty good idea 2010 was to be truly great for live music in my life (non-live music was also quite good – click here to see a list of my favorite albums of 2010 . Here are 12 of my favorite live concerts from last year (and one of my favorite dvd packages ever): * [...]

When I reviewed last years, I wrote something along the lines of it being a music bloggers wet [...]
