Photo Credit: Faith-Ann Young Lissy Trullie "Self Taught Learner" - mp3 The buzz has been slowly building around Lissy Tullie for a few months now, and her set Monday night at Santos Party House proved that, not only was she good enough to justify it, but that said "buzz" was reaching new levels. Lissy came on around midnight... More photos and words after the jump. [...]

Lissy Trullie - "Self Taught Learner" - mp3 Rumble Strips - "Time" - mp3 We've been trying to catch newcomer Lissy Trullie for a bit now, and it looks like tonight is going to be our chance. Trullie is playing Santos Party House with Mark Ronson guesting as late-night DJ and an opening set from Ronson buddies and rising British stars the Rumble Strips. We're pretty much looking forward to all aspects of tonight's line-up, except its late Monday night start time. Cough, and Adam Green. Rumble Strips [...]

It's really tough to compile all of the things we love love love about NYC's Lissy Trullie . We can't just wrap it up into one-liners and the like, but we can say a few nice things. Their sound is remarkably rudimentary, but that's why it's so ace. There's no frills or an abundance of unnecessary things thrown in the mix, leaving Lissy's coy Velvets -meets-come-hither speak-singing to take front and center, not burying the instruments but healthily complementing the simple drums and guitar lines. It owes much of it's success to the pre-punk years, but it's not [...]

Fresh off of her Cake Shop and CMJ shows, Lissy will play Santo's Monday 11/17 along with guests Adam Green, Mark Ronson, Harley Cassie and the Rumble Strips. Sure to be a great night for music.

She didn't perform it at our show but we forgive her! MP3 at bottom of post. MP3: Lissy Trullie - Self Taught Learner

Between the panels and shows making up the itinerary of the first three-plus days of the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon , our own Matt Friedman hasn't had many chances to catch his breath. Thankfully, he found one big enough to collect his thoughts and offer up part one of his week of experiences, in a piece we call, "A CMJ Memoir"... Conflict of Interest (The Syn) On the eve of CMJ 2008, the Syndicate hosted the mother of parties at Rebel. The venue is the perfect [...]

TLC kicked off this week in style: a night of eclectic buzz bands at the Lower East Side's Cake Shop . We were able to catch the two biggest names on the bill, Apse (left) and Lissy Trullie and The Fibs . Apse released their debut LP, Spirit , in 2006 without garnering too much attention. These experimental indie rockers never gave up on the album [...]

Lissy Trullie - "Self Taught Learner" - mp3 Well, admittedly we don't know all that much about Lissy Trullie . Except, from the few songs we've heard, she sounds like what downtown New York looks like, or used to look like at least. It's gritty, it has a certain swagger, it's a little dirty - yet, it has an attitude that attracts everyone from models (that look like Lissy) to skinny, leather-clad punks. I'm sure even the pink popped collar wearers that inhabit Ludlow street these days could find something to love in the well written Velvet's-esqe [...]
Monday: Friction @ Cake Shop 8pm $7 For this month's installment of Friction the super hip party has chosen Cake Shop as its location and booked a solid lineup that features two on the cusp bands. Both Lissy Trullie and Apse are on the verge of being your new favorite bands and both are being highly touted as we go into the CMJ Marathon. Why wait to see them when you can cram your butts into Cake

The often-androgynous, sometimes modeling beaut to your left is Lissy Trullie. Although she was selected as one of Paper Magazine's Beautiful People of 2008 , she's not just a pretty face. Lissy not only fronts her 4-piece band, The Fibs, but picks the guitar up as well. Have a listen to Self Taught Learner below, my personal favorite is Boy Boy which can be streamed on her Myspace page. Lissy will be playing Cake Shop on Monday, September 22nd (TLC will be there.) She also plays [...]

Thanks to everyone who made last week's FRICTION show at Mercury Lounge a jam-packed, sold-out and festive affair. We're back again this month with another show at Cake Shop on September 22nd with downtown darling, Lissy Trullie , atmospheric rockers Apse , who are making a special trip down to NYC following ATP New York and Jean on Jean . This will be Jean on Jean's (Molly Schnick from Out Hud new project) debut live show in support of her new [...]

Enjoy 'Boy Boy' below. Her self titled short-player will drop later this summer. MP3: Lissy Trullie - Self Taught Learner

I'm not very good at blogging lately, but I have been going out and seeing lots and lots of bands. Thanks to the L train taking hours to get me home and my hectic schedule at my day job, I just rarely have time to recap everything, and I generally dislike just throwing up links to mp3s up with little to no editorial on my part (even though usually my "editorials" just involve my using various synonyms for the word awesome and lots of exclamation points). You love my silly editorials! Right? Awesome! Okay, Let me [...]
