Poliça at CMJ 2011 (10/21/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Poliça , a new non-Justin Vernon centered side-project of Gayngs and Bon Iver , have just announced that their debut album, Give You The Ghost , will be released on February 14, 2012 . No NYC tour dates have been scheduled as of yet, but I would expect that to change in the near future. For the uninitiated, here's a little more about the band: After collaborating [...]

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper at CMJ (10/21/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Maine's Lady Lamb The Beekeeper was just here for CMJ, but if you missed her then, the good news is you've got two more chances to see her in the very near future. She'll be opening for Frontier Ruckus at Littlefield on the venerable 11/11/11 (this Friday), and then she'll be back in Brooklyn on Dec 15 with The Milkman's Union and Cuddle Magic [...]

Ra Ra Riot at Celebrate Brooklyn! (08/05/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Ra Ra Riot played their biggest headlining show ever on Friday night before a packed house at the Prospect Park bandshell. The band was firing on all cylinders as they made their way through a deep set filled with cuts from both of their LPs and a sprinkling of covers. Wes Miles made a few speeches about how it was a truly special night for the band (and I believe it really [...]

Eleanor Friedberger at 4Knots Fest (07/16/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Eleanor Friedberger (1/2 of the brother-sister duo, The Fiery Furnaces ) helped kick off this year's 4Knots Music Festival with a set of (mostly) all new material in support of her recently released solo album, Last Summer . Throughout the set her voice was clear and music bouncy, a sonic breeze that almost seemed able to cool down all of us standing in [...]

The All New JonKlemmPhotography.com Hey folks, if you're a regular reader, you might recognize the name Jon Klemm around here because well, he's responsible for more awesome photo galleries on this site than anyone else. Jon cut his teeth as a Bumpershine contributor way back in 2008 at the Siren Music Festival and while he's had his own portfolio site for years now, he recently stepped up his game with the launch of the all new JonKlemmPhotography.com . The new JKP site has [...]

Jim Gaffigan at Central Park Summerstage (06/29/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Comedy Central Park celebrated its five year anniversary at SummerStage on June 29 with live performances from Jim Gaffigan , John Pinette and Sheng Wang . How good was Jim Gaffigan's set, you ask? I was able to really enjoy his set even as the "so true" lady, who apparently had one too many eight-dollar beers, began passionately making out with her boyfriend. [...]

Frank Black of Grand Duchy at Siren Festival (07/18/09) Photo : Jon Klemm ( more ) Because I imagine it's hard to give up a good thing, Pixies have announced yet another set of Doolittle tour dates. As the "Lost Cities" moniker suggests, this round of shows is geared towards visiting those towns and hamlets that were left out of previous Pixies tour itineraries. While there is no proper NYC show this time around, the band will be visiting the nearby Wellmont Theatre on [...]

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts at Virgin Free Fest (09/25/10) Photo : Jon Klemm The TBA act for the July 14, 2011 slot of the 2011 Seaside Summer Concert Series has been announced and it's none other than legendary rocker Joan Jett and her band The Blackhearts.

Oh Land at Perez Hilton's Party at SXSW 2011 (03/19/11) Photo : Jon Klemm Somehow tonight's ( June 17 ) Oh Land show at Brooklyn Bowl slipped right under my radar. She's playing the late show with Rye Rye and Deluka and it's part of the Northside Festival , so if you have a badge, it will be free (it's $10 otherwise). If you can't make it out tonight, (or if you're not a big fan of 1AM sets), [...]

Dan Mangan at CMJ 2010 (10/21/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Vancouver's Dan Mangan just spent a big weekend performing at Sasquatch! Music Festival and opening for the chart topping Decemberists in Bend, OR.

Dan's new third full length LP (some of which he is performing while on tour) is due out this fall. Watch the new tour [...]

Tally Hall at Bowery Ballroom (03/04/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Listen : "You & Me" - Tally Hall It's been a while since we've heard from one of I Rock, I Roll 's favorite bands, Michigan's Tally Hall . It turns out that they haven't broken up, (except with Atlantic Records that is), but in fact, have been busy working on their new album entitled Good & Evil . Their long awaited second LP will drop on Jun 21 [...]

Givers at The FADER Fort at SXSW (03/17/11) Photo : Jon Klemm After the mammoth success of Phoenix and Mumford & Sons , perhaps the folks at Glassnote Records are hoping lightning can strike thrice with In Light , the forthcoming debut LP from Lafayette, LA's GIVERS . GIVERS' debut album – In Light – set for release on Glassnote Entertainment Group on June 7th – is the most rewarding and joyous album you'll hear all year. [...]

Eliza Doolittle at The Pure Volume House at SXSW (03/17/11) Photo : Jon Klemm You know the thing about being on vacation is that stuff you meant to post about just kind of creeps on you and then almost passes you by. Such is/was the case with UK's Eliza Doolittle who is making her NYC tonight ( Apr 25 ) at the Mercury Lounge. It's an early show and it's sold out but you can always try your luck at the door if you're dying to [...]

The Kills at Stubb's (03/18/11) Photos : Jon Klemm Like TV On The Radio (whom they opened for at the Spin party at Stubb's), The Kills used SXSW to showcase material off of their new album Blood Pressures , which came out this past Tuesday on Domino Records . Sonically, Blood Pressures retreats from Midnight Boom 's dancefloor directives and energized, in-the-pocket pop. The new album feels at [...]

The Avett Brothers at Radio City Music Hall (10/13/10) For only the fifth time in his long career, Bob Dylan will be performing on the Grammys tonight along with some up-and-coming young folk acts, namely the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons . Mumford & Sons will perform their soaring, banjo-laced song "The Cave," which will give way to the Avett Brothers and their pulsing folk anthem "Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise." Then comes Dylan, but Ehrlich declined to reveal [...]

Michael Franti and Spearhead at Terminal 5 (10/28/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Before heading off an Australia tour, Michael Franti and Spearhead are playing a couple of shows in the Northeast right about now.

Yo La Tengo at Brooklyn Bowl (10/19/10) Photo : Jon Klemm Yo La Tengo 's star studded filled "Hanukkah residency" at Maxwell's has become an annual tradition (except, of course, in the years that it doesn't happen) and the first show in this year's holiday run takes place tonight ( Dec 1 ) at sundown.
