Nothing beats using the end of the year slow-down to try to catch up on some CDs that fell through the cracks during the earlier part of the year. Brooklyn's The Art of Shooting's full-length debut, Traveling Show , was released last April and it is a major leap forward from the band's 2005 debut EP "Tyrant's Black Eyes". After repeated listens, I still find it hard to find a label or two to describe the evolution of the band's sound. The band still seems to garner frequent comparisons to Siouxsie & the [...]
I checked in to CMJ headquarters, aka Judson Church in the West Village, at around 6pm to pick up my pass for the 2010 CMJ festival. From there I headed over to the Pure Volume House in the East Village, the Pure Volume house is a lounge for the press/VIPs and of course the artists [...]

Check out above for the latest video from Brooklyn's The Art of Shooting . It may not be a big budget affair (some of those fades look a little cheesy), but the band manage to do some interesting things with red string...
Behind every hard-working, dream-chasing musician is a mom who let her son or daughter convert the garage into a studio, or drove the minivan to their first show, or made them practice guitar for an hour every night before TV-time. As we lead up to Mother's Day on Sunday, we've decided to salute these hippest of ladies through stories and quotes from many musicians (and their moms!). Here is Kelly Irene Corson NYC's art-punk outfit The Art of Shooting and her mom to indulge us: From Kelly's Mom: [...]
We're obviously big fans of The Art Of Shooting . Just check out the review of their new album that was featured on the site recently . Or the countless other posts we've done about them over the last few years. So, when we were asked to host a video premiere party for one of the songs off the new album that would double as a listening party and triple (is that an acceptable use of the word?) as an acoustic show, we were excited to help to be a part of it. Please [...]

After years of watching Brooklyn-based band The Art of Shooting go through various line-up expansions and contractions, the band seems to have settled into a variation with a finely sharpened sound. And, with the upcoming release of their first full-length album, we believe this may be their year. With Traveling Show , out April 27 , the Art Of Shooting have produced a pop song-slick record with aggressive, dark melodies that dare the listener to enjoy each track as one may enjoy the blades thrown at a living target in [...]

A basement with no windows saw the birth of songwriting that came from the overactive pelvis, and a love of the ugly and loud. Out of that Brooklyn dungeon arose The Art Of Shooting and their debut full-length Traveling Show , out April 27, 2010. "The Art Of Shooting juxtaposes dreamy shoegaze with crunchy, epic rock," declares Time Out New York . The Brooklyn dream-punks forge an auditory surge that is artful, melodic and full of vocal harmonies. Aggressive, dissonant lullabies are mixed with hints of [...]
Brace yourselves for Traveling Show. It'll see daylight on 4/27. Be sure to visit the Brooklyn based act on MySpace. MP3: The Art Of Shooting - The Birdcage
Tonight @ Southpaw, Future Sounds, The Musebox, Sound Fix Records and DeFalco Presents bring you THE RUMBLE: BROOKLYN . The line-up is stellar..... Sounding like a Tarantino film in stereo, BLACK TAXI seduces with the seediness of a pulp fiction novel; a decaying sideshow that's as sexy as it is punk rock. Lyrics paint woozy pictures of Kerouac-ian misadventures, featuring a rotating cast of transvestites, bible-thumpers and corrupt cops. A cavalier concoction of carnival trumpets, swaggering bass lines and smoldering guitar, BLACK TAXI [...]

Recommended Show: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2009 THE MARY ONETTES & THE ART OF SHOOTING @ MERCURY LOUNGE 217 East Houston Street Manhattan, NY 10002 $10, 7PM The problem with most of the shows going on tonight is not that they aren't good, but that they are rather pricey (Monsters of Folk at Beacon Theater costs around $50 and Wolfmother at Terminal 5 runs a little over $27, plus whatever fees might be added if you buy them online), so I've got to go with a reasonably priced show [...]
