Monday: David Bazan + Old Podrida @ Mercury Lounge 7pm $12 At this point everyone knows who David Bazan is, he's the former member of Pedro the Lion that's gone solo, so let's talk a bit about Ola Podrida. Old Podrida is a band that popped up on the radar a few months ago and seem to have faded back a bit. This is of course complete rubbish as Ola Podrida deserve to be big blips on this radar thanks to their rocking sounds and the fact that they had Interpol's album art [...]
by David Klein It feels appropriate that as I struggle to put together a proper survey of songs featuring the number 29, we are smack dab in the dog days of summer, a time when I traditionally feel that I've had too much of a good thing and start longing for the crispness and less jaded priorities of fall, as well as the feeling of wearing a jean jacket again. My late-summer listlessness has found expression in a less-than-critical but still heartfelt list, which appears oddly enough on the 29th of August. That being said, [...]
Goes Cube very recently had one of their brand new songs premiere on Stereogum (listen to it below), they're set to rock the shit out of Bowery Ballroom tonight (playing with Stereo Total and The Octopus Project ), and then they'll be destroying the After the Jump Fest tomorrow. The song you'll find below is one of four new Goes Cube songs that have been ripping apart my eardrums of late. These four tracks were recorded at Wild Arctic Studio in Long Island City by [...]
Fox Searchlight Pictures is set to bring the dramatic life and times of Christopher Wallace aka the Notorious B.I.G. to the silver screen, calling the biopic Notorious and enlisting B.I.G.'s mom Voletta Wallace as producer. And director George Tillman Jr. ( Soul Food , Men Of Honor ) is looking for a few good men (or women, why not) to audition for the yet-to-be-cast title role. That could be you! If you've got the stature 'n' flow, submit your audition tapes at biggiecasting.com , and size up the competition thus far at foxsearchlight.com/RUBIG . (Apparently [...]
Monday: The Robot Ate Me & Run Chico Run @ Piano's 8pm $8 If you're like me you totally slept on getting tickets to see Spoon knowing they'd be playing a free show in the city this summer. However, we still have to select a show for tonight so I'm going to pass on the recommendation of a few of my blogging cohorts to see this show at Piano's. From what I've heard The Robot Ate Me is a dude that performs with a dog's head on his head. Run Chico Run [...]
Holy shitty fuck fuck. I can't hear at all. I'm pretty sure I could before I walked into this venue and now it's all screaming guitar feedback and tinnitus. I must've stood too close to the speaker as Goes Cube unleashed that last monstrous onslaught of noise upon the tightly packed crowd. I must've wandered too curiously up to the stage as singer-guitarist David Obuchowski thrashed away at those last devastating chords. At this point, I'm just amazed that I wasn't ricocheted back twenty feet through a wall "Song 2" -style. Because Goes [...]

Let's be upfront, shall we? I know diddly squat about any kind of heavy/hard music. If you'd like proof, I can tell you that the first hard/heavy music I listened to was Metallica. Not Metallica circa Kill'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, Justice for All or the Black Album , but Metallica circa Load . Are you laughing yet? Well prepare to laugh more. The next band even close to hard/heavy that I got into was the Blood Brothers, specifically Burn, Piano Island, Burn (though with them this seems like an anomaly [...]
Goes Cube, a local NYC hard rock act beloved of some of the more influential NYC indie websites, is giving the ground-up thing a go.
Monday: The Muggabears & Goes Cube@ Piano's 9pm $5 At this point I can say no more to sway you one way or another about The Muggabears. You're either going to take my advice and see them or you're going to miss out on one of the best bands in New York right now. I haven't posted about Goes Cube a lot yet but that should change as this band positively rocks. So you're getting a couple of stellar bands for $5, unless you don't have DVR to record '24' and 'Heroes' you should be at Piano's [...]
Brooklyn, NY We're all aware, but I feel the need to state it. The internet is an amazing place. It reminds me time after time what a small world we live in. After discovering the energized sounds of Goes Cube , I learned that one of the band members is old friends with my good friend Fred from Chicago. Craziness! "Song 27" Goes Cube on MySpace
File this under rhetorical, I suppose, but don't you guys ever get sick of reading about the same old bullshit day after day, week after week? I don't mean here, because here you are (again), I mean elsewhere. Things like "Hot new DJ X mashed up freak folk artist Y with slick indie hip hop group Z and he called it 'XYZ'! Woo! I love it even more than yesterday's new hotness!" Can you tell that we're entering that typical mid to late decade rut (populated by bands like Winger and Extreme in the '80s, Marcy Playground [...]
On Tuesday night I went to see Goes Cube at Sin-e. Also playing that night were The Blow and You Say Party! We Say Die! I had only heard a few tracks of Goes Cube and YSP! WSD! before hand so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I got to Sin-e, ordered myself a PBR, and waited for Goes Cube to take the stage. Around 9:15 or so they started their set. The room was about half way full and people
I just started listening to Goes Cube and I'm pretty damn impressed. I suggest you stop by Sin-e tonight at 9PM at check out Goes Cube. Mp3's: Goes Cube Song 30 - Goes Cube The Gap - You Say Party! We Say Die!
Goes Cube is returning to the studio to record four additional songs (34, 35, 36, and 37). These songs will be added to their recently completed unreleased recording that has become known as Beckon the Dagger God. Dean Baltulonis (of Foreign Islands) will be producing the recording once again. I'm hoping they get the (soon-to-be) eleven track album released this year because it's bound to make

One of EAR FARM's favorite unsigned NYC-based bands is at it again! Goes Cube recently tore the roof off of Gothamist's Movable Hype 8.0 (you may have read about it over at Stereogum ) and they're set to play another show in less than a week! I missed the Movable Hype goodness so you better believe I'll be hitting up their show this Wednesday over at Trash Bar . You too? Sweet. Promise me you'll do the robot with me to "Goes Cube Song 30" when they play it, [...]
What a week! I've been extremely busy everyday this week and haven't had the time to even think about posting. I headed out to The Knitting Factory on Thursday night for Gothamist 's 8th edition of Movable Hype with Project Jenny/Project Jan , Takka Takka , Goes Cube , and Femme Generation on the bill. Running late, I completely missed Project Jenny/Project Jan , who I wasn't too familiar with, so I was kind of pissed [...]
[ READER'S NOTE: Typepad was down yesterday and refuses to upload pics today. I'll add some pics to the post later, but for now you can find 'em on flickr .] The Gothamist crew did a fine job at pulling together a bill that, speaking as a New Yorker, was unique and worthwhile. Jeff wrote about how the Movable Hype show had strayed from its intended course and goal by using its prestige to pull "bigger" bands (rather than using this clout to shine the light on deserving locals). That's a great statement, and I [...]
