As 2011 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. In 2008, Oneida began the Thank Your Parents triptych with Preteen Weaponry. Since, the Brooklyn band—Kid Millions, Bobby Matador, Baby Hanoi Jane, Showtime and Barry London—has completed it with 20092s [...]
Stuarto Glasser, host of the All Around the World Music Show, called me up a little after 5pm Friday and asked if I could fill in for him. Thinking it would be a great way to attract a few more listeners I agreed. I headed home and put together a playlist of some of my favorite indie artists from around the world. The first half of the list below aired as the split show: The Indie Music Show from All Around the World. I began with some lovable indie [...]
There's now at least two Occupy Wall Street-inspired albums in the works. As we first reported over Thanksgiving weekend, Devo, Yo La Tengo, and Ladytron are among the artists contributing to a forthcoming benefit LP titled Occupy This Album . Now, the Village Voice reports (via Exclaim! ) that TV on the Radio frontman Kyp Malone has teamed with Oneidia drummer Kid Millions and ex-Liturgy drummer Greg Fox for their own Occupy album. Few details are available at the moment, but the trio recently played a four-hour [...]

In 48 hours I'll be airborne, flying east towards Newark Airport, set to embark on a lengthy trip that will take me from the East Coast of these United States all the way around the world to Delhi, India. To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the year. I'm really, really looking forward [...]
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 [...]

...Dieter Moebius! O germano-suíço que no final dos anos 60 fundou os Kluster com Hans-Joachim Roedelius e Conrad Schnitzler (falecido há dois meses), depois Cluster quando o trio passou a duo após a saída do último, e ainda os Harmonia, com Michael Röther dos Neu! e, ocasionalmente, Brian Eno, vai estar hoje ao vivo no Barreiro, nesta impressionante edição do Out.Fest que ontem teve início.
Every music festival is a marathon, but ATP's Friday night felt like a sprint, packed end to end. Saturday was more of an endurance test. Kicking off with a well-attended early afternoon set of solo saxophone by Colin Stetson in the acoustically remarkable Paramount Theater, the virtuoso's circular breathing technique on horn allows him to conjure up a dense, engrossing symphony. The bleary-eyed and enraptured crowd responded with hard-earned applause; Stetson's sound is dependent on an unnerving physical commitment that left him sweaty and breathless on stage. [...]
* For some, let's call them the nerdiest music nerds at a festival catered to music nerds, the eight hour Oneida jamathon at Asbury Lanes was one of the biggest draws on the second day of All Tomorrow's Parties. Throughout the session special guests came and went. First, they were joined by members of Chavez. Later it was Portishead. James McNew of Yo La Tengo was a constant contributor throughout. When I took in two hours of the eight hour jamathon Saturday evening they were helped by a bearded man wailing on clarinet and a young lady whose Karen O [...]

Primeiro, há mais uma data ZDB a acrescentar à última lista de concertos e esta é daquelas a que temos mesmo de ir. TODOS. Os Akron/Family regressam a Lisboa no dia 20 de Novembro. Os poucos que estiveram no concerto do Musicbox (concerto do ano de 2007 por aqui), bem sabem como não vão poder perder esta noite. Mas há mais. A página dos agentes europeus dos Akron/Family, que anuncia a data, dá
Una serata di batterie, testosterone e cameratismo da sala prove. Sweat, drugs and rock'n'roll! Era da tempo che non andavo ad un concerto cosí. Nel senso di un certo livello di volumi e saturazione da farmi provare quel familiare senso di orecchie ovattate e collo leggermente intorpidito il mattino successivo. Quando si torna a frequentare le compagnie di una volta c'é sempre un certo misto di piacere e disagio...dove sei stato tutti questi anni, nemmeno una cartolina? Comunque, il concerto per fortuna é stato spostato dallo Scala [...]
Rarely has a line of banter so perfectly encapsulated the ethos of a band as "we're Oneida , and this song's in the key of ROCK!" With a knack for combining judicious degrees of guitar-driven awesome with a refreshing lack of self-seriousness, the Brooklynites deliver a sucker punch to the senses and a severe ringing to the ears. It's hard to pin down their exact sound, because although the songs generally fall within the "rock instrumental" category there's a lot of variation here, but what's consistent is their tight rhythmic sense and unyielding [...]
Mugstar seemed a little metal to me upon their arrival on stage. Their driven guitars and pounding beats thumped around the room in a way that was both invigorating and slightly uncomfortable. This soon gave way to the comfortably rhythmic Kraut-rock pulse that Mugstar have become mildly well known for. The repetitive nature of the music made this a somewhat un-exciting set, but there was the odd flourish that kept interests perked. Mugstar are not a band that are ever going to blitz their listeners into a frenzied submission, but they have a way of creeping slowly into your [...]
Those curious about mood music that upends one's emotions rather than calming them down may welcome this shambling trip into interstellar breakdown, rather than overdrive. This send-off into the vacuum realm above completes the Thank Your Parents trilogy begun three years ago with Teenage Weaponry, three long songs heavy on trance. Oneida continued in 2009 with Rated O, a sprawling triple-album's worth of clang, clatter, and clash added to longer drones. Absolute II ends the experiment with no drums at all. Kid Millions, after working lately with White Hills, does not feature his dramatic bashing here at all. Instead, [...]
[photo by martin glenn & julie ruiz from A Horse With No Name Photography ] The third piece of Oneida's Thank Your Parents trilogy was released in June, and the band performed each of the three albums of the project on the same weekend. We previously posted recordings of the Preteen Weaponry set, and the Rated O set. The final piece was performed at the very unique hour of daybreak, which in June amounted to 4:45 a.m on a Sunday. While some of the [...]
[Photo by acidjack] We make no secret of the love we have here at NYCTaper for all things Oneida , and that definitely extends to their prodigy of a drummer, Kid Millions and his side project Man Forever . Man Forever explores the more ambient side of Millions' musical powers while still focusing on his incredible drum skills. This show was one continuous 30-minute piece, with Millions and another drummer banging out a dense, seemingly endless polyrhythm on a single shared drum, while two keyboardists (including Oneida's own Bobby Matador) added slow-burning keyboard [...]
Thanks to Oneida's Kid Millions for guest editing our website all week. Be sure to check out the band's latest album, Absolute II. As Oneida has no official videos, Millions asked us to run Jesse McLean's Magic For Beginners, which "examines the mythologies found in fan culture, from longing to obsession to psychic connections." The video [...]
