Mr. Ted McGrath of the now hiatused Antimagic (and ex- These Are Powers ) has put together an album under his solo moniker ATM . The EP is called The Slow Fade , and is being released by Temple South (cassette) and Creative Capitalism (digital). McGrath has fused together numerous influences from punk, no wave, glam, postpunk, art rock and experimental pop to form these sometimes-gritty, sometimes-scary, sometimes-bleak sounds. Two floor toms (one treated, one normal), a snare, an Alesis SR-16 drum machine, a Boss SP 202 sampler, [...]
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 [...]
Noah and Rick of YVETTE sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? n: A while back I happened on Tristan Perich 's 1-Bit Symphony . It's a battery, a microchip, a couple switches, a volume knob, and a headphone jack simply wired together and mounted in a jewel case. The idea of it is pretty wild - that you can participate in [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours Aa 's music is ethereal, ecstatic and enigmatic. Part video art, mostly percussion (and warbling vocals), Brooklyn residents Big A little a formed in 2003 and once performed with three drum sets and multiple sampling, looping and laptop devices. They only play with two drum kits now, but that suits us just fine. Spinner was lucky to score an interview with the oft-reclusive Josh Bonati.
And now the next q and also a with GROOMS ... q: What is the last song you (really) heard? a: Fallen Angel (lala link) by King Crimson q: What is your favorite food? a: Brick oven pizza , but saag paneer sounds really really good right now. q: What is your favorite band to see live? a: Lately, probably Sisters .

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.

Knyfe Hyts celebrated the release of their new 123 last night with a special 4:20-themed release party. Today they're making a remix of the A-side by These Are Powers drummer Brenmar available. If last night was a psych-infused freak fest, today is all about dancing in celebration. The "Screamin Love" b/w "We Go Wanderin" single was released last night on Dick Move Records , with only 100 records being pressed (75 were available at the show) and hand-stamped label art. The music and artwork is [...]
Words and interview by Derek Evers Video by Maia Stern and Hanly Banks Last week, Telepathe finally released their long-awaited, David Sitek -produced LP Dance Mother to the world, and we figured what better way to celebrate than a friendly game of bowling? Shot on the exact date of the physical U.S. release (April 14), we quickly came to realize that the competitive spirit burns brightly in this duo as the game soon became anything but friendly. Telepathe is [...]

Love Is All is the secret guest at tonight's show at the Secret Project Robot Art Space in Brooklyn along with Abe Vigoda , Woods and Knyfe Hyts . That's 9pm at 210 Kent Ave. Cost is $7 and the show is all-ages.
(photo by Stephano Giovannini ) So, the Knitting Factory is moving to Brooklyn . Whatever. Proving they can still throw all caution to the winds, the venue has booked a free show with Awesome Color , who we saw ages ago open up for Sonic Youth. They were fantastic. They'll be sharing the stage with Knyfe Hyts, Viki and Kocho-Bi-Sexual. It's an all ages show this Saturday, doors at 8. Righteous. The flyer, however, is totally annoying . [...]
-photo by Derek Morris About two weeks ago I had the privilige of attending Todd P's Midsummer Party at The Yard in Carroll Gardens (Brooklyn). I saw an astounding 15 under the radar bands and got to see John Norris (of MTV fame) up close and personal. The mini-fest was held on the canal bank at The Yard in Brooklyn, featuring amazing performances from Ponytail, Oneida, Titus Andronicus, Shy Child, Vivian Girls, Knyfe Hyts, Crystal Antlers, Abe Vigoda, Telepathe, High Places, and many more! The scorching day by the canal was barely [...]
Alright: I usually don't like to write about bands I've never seen rock out live. And I especially don't like writing about bands that I don't know anything about. But in this case, my homey OD gave me the heads up and I sincerely trust his taste and advice. He knows his shit and has hipped me to a lot of ill shit in the past. And 3 seconds into the song, you'll know Knyfe Hyts are for real. So dig the Maiden cover and I'll figure these guys out at a later [...]
(These Are Powers playing at Silent Barn after their Siren Festival show) Still trying to regain my feet from the marathon of work for the Cinders show . But that doesn't mean I'm not going to catch one of my favorite new bands playing nearby (see above). Although even just the thought of Siren Festival was simply to much for me. MP3: A good cover with nice rough edges. • Knyfe Hyts - Running [...]
The Good: Colin Meloy - "We Both Go Down Together"; Truth be told this has been one of my favorite Decemberists songs for quite some time now, and the sheer fact that this is hyping up Colin Meloy's solo collection has me a bit giddy. I love the way his voice warbles throughout this version of the song, and the simplicity behind it has me hooked. Fun stuff for sure. Tokyo Police Club - "In A
