Recommended Show: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2011 NEPTUNE & DAN FRIEL @ UNION POOL 484 Union Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 It's worth seeing Boston junk rockers Neptune even just to admire the craft of their homemade instruments, but the music is pretty awesome as well. Tonight they play Union Pool with local Dan Friel . Frank Ocean @ Bowery Ballroom Blockhead & Kotchy @ Glasslands Jay-Z & Kanye West @ Izod Center The Toasters @ Highline Ballroom Jeff Mangum [...]

I recently heard that Parts & Labor are going on an "extended hiatus". Here is their statement regarding the hiatus... Dear friends, This January, Parts & Labor turns 10 years old. We're planning a string of celebratory shows, in which we play selected material from all of our full length albums, leading up to a big 10th anniversary blow out on February 24th, 2012. Following these performances, we're going to take an extended hiatus. We feel incredibly fortunate having had a decade of amazing experiences — making records and new [...]
Recommended Show: SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 2011 DAN FRIEL @ SHOWPAPER GALLERY 217 E 42nd St New York, NY 10017 $TBA, 7PM Another winning event at the Showpaper Gallery. This one is headed up by Dan Friel of Parts and Labor fame. It's sure to be noisy and interesting, not to mention a great way to spend a Saturday night.

What's wonderful about Parts & Labor (amongst many, many other attributes) is there ability to progress musically without losing the soul or general theme of their music. Constant Future, when put in comparison with their previous release Receivers, is a swamp of music. A layering of post-rock, space-guitar and devolved noise in to a [...]
Recommended Show: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2010 DAN FRIEL @ WFMU RECORD FAIR The Metropolitan Pavilion 125 West 18th St New York, NY 10011 $7, 1PM With CMJ over, expect things to start returning to normal soon enough. There are still some lingering shows such at the WFMU Record Fair, which Dan Friel (of Parts and Labor ) will perform at this year. Titan @ Union Pool Muse & Metric @ Prudential Center The Stationary Set @ Mercury [...]
Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 2010 MINCEMEAT OR TENSPEED, DAN FRIEL, & WHITE SUNS @ DEATH BY AUDIO 49 S 2nd St Brooklyn, NY 11211 $TBA, 8PM If a guy who makes music without instruments ( Mincemeat or Tenspeed ) wasn't enough to peak your interest in tonight's show at Death by Audio, Nero's Day at Disneyland , White Suns , and Dan Friel are also on the bill. This is totally worth it. Ribbons @ South Street Seaport [...]

Dan Friel - Pink Helicopters It's harsh and melodic, massive and hollow, gritty and lush, and creates hypnotically blissful ear candy that spans the grand desert jungle. Full review on diskant .
Recommended Show: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2009 DAN FRIEL, KNYFE HYTS, DINOWALRUS, & ELECTRIC TICKLE MACHINE @ UNION POOL 484 Union Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11211 $8, 9PM There are tons of great shows going on tonight. However, don't expect to see Rihanna at Hammerstein unless you're already in line, and Imogen Heap at the Music Hall of Williamsburg is already sold out. However, with an amazing lineup at Union Pool tonight, this show might be the best bang for your buck. The Queers @ Southpaw The Wrens @ Maxwell's Flobots @ [...]

As we noted earlier today, the Maze at Death By Audio--a life-sized sculptural maze of narrow corridors, unexpected turns, and actual dead-ends, plus alcohol--opened last night with a overstuffe...

This past Monday, Baltimore's finest flooded Ottobar for what was to be one hell of an indie explosion, what with scheduled performances by Ask The Idea , In Every Room, Dan Friel of Parts & Labor fame and, most importantly, Black Moth Super Rainbow . The bill warned everyone of a long night, filled with music, mayhem...and all-ages. After a mildly uninspiring 28 minute set, made worse by washed out vocals and a weak mix, Ask The Idea left a rather stationary crowd to mull around. As they [...]
Coming into the River-to-River Black Moth Super Rainbow show this past Friday at South Street Seaport, I was in a position I don't find myself in very often these days when going to concerts: I had not heard a note of any of the bands playing. Yes, I've seen the names in print many times before: solo artist Dan Friel , from the Brooklyn band Parts and Labor , locals Blank Dogs , led by Mike Sniper, owner of Captured Tracks, and headliners Black Moth Super Rainbow. But I had somehow managed to elude listening [...]
Dan Friel | South Street Seaport | July 24, 2009 Dan Friel (aka one of the noisemakers of Parts and Labor) took to the stage of South Street Seaport a few hours before Black Moth Super Rainbow on Friday night. Though Parts and Labor have added vocals since their inception, when Friel performs solo he hints back to the early, voiceless (and even slightly noisier) days of his band. His solo set also lacks the aggressive appeal of a full band--Friel remained seated for his set. Fortunately, the [...]

So I was perusing old television shows as I do in my free time and came across a Canadian program from 1979 called You Can't Do That On Television . Doesn't that title screen look familiar? Look below. Anyways, my point isn't to out where Tobacco finds these great visual representations (that I was pretty convinced was from The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari ), but to let you New Yorkers know that Dan Friel of Parts & Labor, Mr. Blank Dogs , and Black Moth Super [...]
