photos by Diana Wong Kimbra & Gotye @ Bowery Ballroom Gotye 's recently announced giant show at Terminal 5 with Kimbra is SOLD OUT, much like Monday's much smaller Bowery Ballroom show was, and Kimbra was there too... When it finally came time to play the song everyone was waiting for, the guy standing next to me said, "Already?" and then begrudgingly removed his cell phone and started filming the [...]

Facing the hype that comes with having upcoming sold-out shows at Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5, Gotye rolled into the first of them last night and blew the crowd away with a tight 13-song set and massive video screen that showed creative animation throughout the show. Band leader Wally de Backer was backed by a 4-piece band (guitar/drums/bass/synth-sampl er) but also had an array of equipment surrounding him including a second drum kit, synths, drum machines and manipulated mics. Early in the set came "The Only Way" which ended with Wally hammering out a drum solo that [...]

La Dispute have announced tour dates.

Words by Carly Shields / Photos by Nick Irving Big band Brooklynites Rubblebucket sold out the Bowery Ballroom this past Saturday night, and though they haven't quite broken into the mainstream scene, their constant touring schedule and years of festival appearances make them a pretty well known name in every scene they fit with. From [...]

[Photo by acidjack] It's one thing to be unaware of an amazing live act for far too long; it's another for them to be from your own backyard and to be totally clueless about them until they're opening for an established band at Bowery Ballroom . But such is the truth of my discovery of Brooklyn's Superhuman Happiness , and I'm happy to say I'm glad I made my way to them eventually, even if I arrived late to the party. Like the band they were opening for , Superhuman Happiness utilize a [...]

[Photos by acidjack] Rubblebucket is a Brooklyn-by-way-of-Vermont band that is building a fan base the old-fashioned way: outstanding live shows and the positive word of mouth that results. With a touring schedule that has blanketed the eastern seaboard and made them regulars in their home region, the band has come by every new fan and every new gig as honestly as possible. That's why, although you may have never heard of them, they sold out the Bowery Ballroom handily on a Saturday night. They may have gotten their start on the college music circuit, [...]

I first saw Palomar a couple years back when they opened for The Wrens at their two-night 20th anniversary throwdown in NJ at Maxwells. Comprised of three woman and a guy drummer, they played great kick ass songs with running streams of power pop and folk, and harmonic melodies that wrap around you and hold you tight. Since their inception in 1998, Palomar has released four full-lengths and one EP. Sense & Antisense , their fifth full-length, contains contributions by the likes of [...]

photos by Greg Cristman Graveyard @ Bowery Ballroom They went on around about 11 pm, and the crowd was noisy for them, singing along, shouting "louder!" and "Graveyard!" among other things. The smell of sweet green smoke was in the air, and cups of beer were in everyone's hands... Anyway, Graveyard killed, but unlike that sticker on the album, I found them to be more a mixture of Blue Cheer-MC5-Deep Purple-Jimi Hendrix-with Bill Ward on drums. I dug the set, and am [...]
