photos by Fresh Bread Orba Squara @ LPR Despite suffering a car crash followed by a breakup , Marissa Nadler made it to NYC this past weekend to play two shows with Alela Diane (who also played an in-store at Sound Fix while she was here). The first of those two shows was Friday night at Le Poisson Rouge with Orba Squara opening (11/13). That's where the pictures [...]
One of the perils of playing Minneapolis' 7th St. Entry is that there is only a thin wall separating the tiny club from the First Avenue Mainroom, leading to a fair amount of noise bleed from some of the louder acts. And as far as noise goes, Wednesday night's imbalance between Dinosaur Jr. (Mainroom) and a three band female folk lineup (the Entry) was about as large a gulf as there is. However, even though whenever the door opened the ladies were drowned out by J. Mascis' screaming guitar; they still put on an admirably lovely show.
Marissa Nadler performed a wide variety of tunes tonight at Schubas . Accompanied by Carter Tanton , of the band Tulsa , on a few tunes, I was surprised that they only played two tunes off the new release, Little Hells , out via Kemado . I guess it doesn't too matter because all of her tunes are hauntingly beautiful. Marissa , apologetic for the lack of stage banter, had confessed early on that she's terribly shy. Again, not a big [...]

Welcome to the new, not-really-improved BabyStew This Week In Chicago listing. What's new about it, you ask? Absolutely nothing, except that it now covers the week from Monday through Sunday rather than Sunday through Saturday. It always seemed weird to me not to be listing Sunday shows until the morning of – when not many people are reading blogs – for the sole purpose of sticking with the conventional definition of "week" ( i.e. , Sun-Sat). But convention be damned. So here's what's going on in Chicago this "week". [...]
One of my favorite music blogs Wears The Trousers recently started their own record label, and their first release will be a tribute to legendary folk singer Odetta . As a great fan of Odetta's (I had the privilege of seeing her perform live at Mountain Stage ), I'm so glad that Wears The Trousers showed her due respect by selecting a talented group of contemporary female singers to carry on her grand legacy. The tribute will be released on November 30th and all profits from its sales will be split between two charities [...]

MP3: Marissa Nadler - Mexican Summer #13 - Marissa Nadler - Songs III: Bird on the Water Kemado Records 2007 Joey On Songs III: Bird on the Water: I will listen to this album forever. It is truly one of the best things to come from music.
Recommended Show: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2009 PEACHES, AMANDA BLANK, & JESSICA 6 @ TERMINAL 5 610 West 56th Street Manhattan, NY 10019 $25, 7PM Jessica 6's performance at The Box felt a little bit like a strip show, but the band might actually be sort of tame compared to the Terminal 5 headliner tonight, Peaches. Check out after the jump for more shows going on tonight--AND check out a lit of shows going on during the day as well (even though CMJ is over, Saturday afternoons seem to still rock). [...]

Recommended Show: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2009 PTERODACTYL, CHILD BITE, HERMIT THRUSHES, & FIASCO @ DEATH BY AUDIO 49 South 2nd Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 $TBA, 8PM Fiasco don't play many shows in the City since starting college, but the trio do try to make it back from time to time. Plus, teamed up with Hermit Thrushes, Child Bite, and Pterodactyl, it should be an amazing lineup. The cost of the show is still a big question mark, but it's a Showpaper benefit, so it's probably fairly cheap (and totally worthwhile). [...]
W ith Primavera Club (aka Primavera Sound 's little winter brother) less than a month away, I for one am getting mightily excited. I'm flying to Barcelona in a little under two weeks, (Eliza will follow a little later) and we'll be spending the holiday season there (at my mom's house), only returning home in early January. I've collected ten tracks that I'd like to see played over the five days of the festival.. 1. So Cow [...]
I had a really hard time choosing Art Brut and Surfer Blood as the show of the day. First of all, you can see Chicago indie hip hoppers Cool Kids for just $1 at Webster Hall. Or you could go see my favorite Alela Diane along with Marissa Nadler at Le Poisson Rouge. But Art Brut is also a favorite, and frankly, this show just sounds like FUN. Art Brut is fun. Surfer Blood is so buzzy people will be there just to see them. The show is taking place at a bowling alley. Fun, fun, fun. Sounds like a [...]

Alela Diane 's music follows a simple formula — girl, guitar, and...well, that's usually about it. But with such gorgeous, wonderfully melodic folk songs like Alela's, that's really all she needs. We've made no secret of our love for Alela's woodsy acousti-folk, and so after talking about her for awhile, we figured it was time to talk with her. Below, MOKB talks Grateful Dead cover bands, being a working stiff and why liking Bob Marley is embarrassing. MOKB [...]
Monday: Cass McCombs @ Bowery Ballroom 7pm $15 [ tix ] Over the course of his last two albums Cass McCombs has truly gone through some sort of metamorphosis, transitioning from dreamy bedroom pop to a cleaner, better produced, and wordier version of himself. The focus on the lo-fi sound of his past has been taken off and instead casts a blinding spotlight on his abilities as a songwriter. Thus far McCombs has been up to the task crafting deep, emotional songs that are worthy of all the attention he's received these past couple [...]
