Last night was an evening of promising bands and terrible photos. I almost wasn't going to bother posting these, but at least few of them are OK. Bruar Falls now has a red light shining on the stage, which is a lighting situation I am totally not equipped to deal with. Heck, they completely turned the lights off for Gray Goods, and I always find it incredibly awkward to take photos at under-attended shows. Not to say that the bands weren't good, just my photography skills. I arrived as Soft Black played, a band name I still absolutely [...]
Imagine listening to a ton of late 90s Top 40 rock, I'm talking 3 Doors Down and Barenaked Ladies, but also Bright Eyes and other proto-emo-ites. Then listen to a whole bunch of Brooklyn lo-fi bands, not to mention actually be in a few. Combine all of those things and you get Art Sorority for Girls . The song, "Spaceship" is pretty much pure sugary pop cheese, but there's good enough songwriting and just enough sincerity to make it more than that. It's like all the angst of listening to Lifted for the first time, but channeled [...]
Gray Goods posted two new songs, from their recent Saltlands recordings, on their MySpace this week. Go check out Saturated and Color Divide . This unsigned, Brooklyn-based trio makes druggy, surf rock sounds that fans of The Soft Pack will love.

Cake Shop, Cake Shop, Cake Shop. Some weeks it's Brooklyn Bowl, some weeks it's Bruar Falls, this week it's Cake Shop. Good show after good show. However, If you didn't see Harlem on Wednesday at Merc and you can't see them on Saturday, you may want to make Monster Island Basement your destination of choice instead of Cake Shop (the excellent Frankie & the Outs are also playing), but this is really one of those A+ Gosh Wow kind of shows. Obits aren't exactly your typical young, upstart Brooklyn band. Instead of having the glow of youth to propel them [...]

You heard it here first. Gray Goods are sweet. I know almost nothing about this band (their myspace page only has 3,000 hits), but I know that I like them. They only have three songs on their myspace. On first listen, they're pretty sloppy. All over the place with out of tune singing and well-worn chord structures. But then you go back to the songs and listen again. And then again. And then you realize that they have the innocent ramshackle quality that makes for good songs and a good band. I'll have to see this band live [...]
