Brooklyn-based experimental guitar/drums duo CINEMA CINEMA will be celebrating the release of their "Shoot The Freak" EP (recorded with legendary hardcore producer Don Zientara) with a series of Southwestern dates, primarily opening for ex-Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn. I'm hoping you'd consider advancing their show with a feature, EP review or advance blurb. Music available [...]
The Brooklyn-based duo of cousins Ev Gold and Paul Claro, better known as Cinema Cinema , really up their punk cred on their new EP, Shoot the Freak . The short, three-track release is marketed as the first taste of a double-disc worth of material recorded with producer/engineer Don Zientara, who has previously worked with big-name punks like Fugazi, Minor Threat, and Bikini Kill. While the three songs on Shoot the Freak clearly take a lot of the ground that those bands laid, to say that Cinema Cinema has their same power or exuberance would be [...]
A few weeks ago Jeremy form NY Underbelly asked me if I'd be down to curate one of his Friday night parties at Crash Mansion. I was a little hesitant because there wasn't much time and I was already having trouble getting bands for another show (which we eventually canceled). So I put the word out that I needed bands and to my surprise we managed to get a pretty excellent lineup together.I've

Brooklyn New York has housed many musicians from every background for well over a hundred years. Traces of this fine burrough can be found throughout the history of instrumental and vocal companionship. But, nothing of the likes of Cinema, Cinema has really ever been heard. The complete and utter lack of traditional vanity on their third release, Exile Baby , is proof of this transcending duo's ability to represent their home base on an entirely different front. Fusing every genre of rock n roll, this indie treasure [...]
So now that spring is finally here, you can put the scarves and knit gloves and such away and come on down to Fontana's for this month's edition of The Rumble. We have three great bands starting off the night at 9PM so make sure you come on out! Oh and it is Earth Day, too - check out that nice flyer The Library is On Fire made!

When I saw the calendar for the weekend, I initially thought that Joe was out of his skull and put down shows for the wrong dates. Then after some quick fact checking, I found the truth. Every band and their mothers, uncles and 3rd cousins once removed are either coming back home from Austin or making the IA area the next stop on their East Coast swing. With so much to tell you about, it is best to break it up into two (or more) posts). Part One (this post) will focus on those performing on [...]

Yeah, it is about that time for bands to migrate southward towards Austin and the music festival know as SXSW. Philly and Baltimore are very sparse, DC has a bit more. Guess we will see a surge in the coming weeks as bands come home or continue their tours. Still, some great shows to see this weekend. Here is what's happening: Bell X1 (via bands myspace) With their new album Blue Lights on the Runway just released [...]

November was once known for but one day: Thanksgiving. It's probably my favorite holiday; it's the first time I see my entire family together in several months and I get to watch the Dallas Cowboys typically win their Turkey Day pigskin match. But now this year, we add something else to be thankful for: Stranded in Stereo Club Night. This month, besides all the awesome bands that will be playing, we're ever so thankful to announce that we'll now be holding them at Fontana's down on Eldridge Street. Same price, same amount of fun, all things [...]
