[Photos by Sarahana and Rez Avissar] It was rainy and wet outside, leading to a hot, moist and loud evening inside at Less Artists More Condos . Good thing it was a stacked line-up as all three bands on the bill were worth the effort of trying to find a hiding place for your umbrella. So good in fact, we had two Tripwire photographers there. Here is what they saw. [ Crash Diet Crew ] [Sarahana] [...]

Bachelor of Arts are a three piece noise-rock band from here in Melbourne, and create some of the most angular and energetically-precise music you'll come across. It channels the exploration of the late 70s NYC scene crossed with the shifting rhythms and sense of restraint that the 90s Chicago scene was known for. The past two years has seen the group sharing stages with the likes of Japanther (US), These New Puritans (UK), Bakelite (CAN), Die! Die! Die! (NZ), My Disco, Witch Hats, Fabulous Diamonds, Mercy Arms, Tic Toc Tokyo and Ohana in all sorts of venues, [...]

(Sorry I took a day off to help recover from SXSW! Lot's to catch up on now though!) Tuesday: Camera Obscura @ The Bell House 7:30pm $20 Camera Obscura is one of those bands that seems to be perpetually underrated. No matter how big they get they continue to play the role of the underdog as other, usually less worthy, bands are able to fly between the mainstream and indies unscathed. Well these Scots latest record may not be quite what the last record was but it's still damn solid. Camera Obscura - [...]

Dead Herring is a great place to see bands. The cozy apartment is warm and welcoming with colorful streamers running across the ceiling and fresh-baked cookies coming out of the oven. There's even a perfect loft space to perch on, peering down on the bands from above. Real Estate was the first band of the night; I've written before about how much I admire these guys. Their live set was good- a lot of very exciting and different ideas in their music. While I still think they need more performance experience under their belts, if this band keeps [...]

This week's edition of New Music Thursdays we're bringing it home. Well, it's not home for everyone at the Tripwire, but Brooklyn is so close to our New York offices that we can't help but feel like we're kindred spirits with all of the beautiful music permeating out of the fine borough. First up is a band that is making noise in the Brooklyn diy scene - literally and figuratively - as large as their name would suggest. Dinowalrus is a three-person drum n' drone [...]

This week Deli Magazine concluded the voting for their best NY band of 2008 with Vivian Girls, Chairlift, and Secret Life of Sofia coming in in the top spots proving once again that the bands coming out of New York are top notch artists that are making an impact in this music world. It was nice to see the list of bands that were nominated (full disclosure: I was one of the jurors to pick these bands my choices; Secret Life of Sofia, Brownwater, & Brilliant Sweaters) ranging from the absolutely obscure bands from Staten Island (see: Brownwater) [...]
Dinowalrus are one of the stranger bands coming through the ranks of the current New York scene. They are tied to no one genre in particular and a lot of that has to do with their enigmatic front man Peter who has no problems listening to any sort of music and taking about it with a huge array of references and insights. Talking with Peter at Mercury Lounge on Friday night he thoroughly impressed me with his knowledge and his enjoyment of music. While most band members try to be aloof and overly cool he has no problem wearing a [...]
