Tweet Follow @acidjacknyc [Photos by acidjack] Chicago's Disappears distinguish themselves by being both consistent and prolific.

photos by Greg Cristman Acid Mothers Temple @ Knitting Factory, 4/17/2013 Its too bad there wasn't a counterbalance on the way into Knitting Factory on Wednesday night (4/17), might have been interesting to measure the sheer metric tonnage of mushroom consumption. This is all theoretical, mind you, but psychedelia was the theme of the night when Japan's Acid Mothers Temple and  Tjutjuna made for a night of spaced-out rock. Pictures from the show are [...]

Photos by Ashley Maas Lucius hit the stage at Knitting Factory last Friday night for what had to be one of the best shows we've covered this year. Though I've seen the band countless times, they never cease to amaze with perfect harmonies, cheerful banter, and top notch musicianship. While each song was a highlight, their final encore was what really sticks in my memory - the band stepped out into the crowd and played a full-acoustic number from the middle of the sold out venue. [...]

photos by Jonathon Bernstein Ruby Suns @ Knitting Factory, 3/2/2013 Q: Can you tell me a little about the new album "Christopher"? A: Breakup, crappiness, tinges of optimism, freedom, lack of employability. Those are just a handful of the themes. The main idea though was to create a totally different record from anything we've done before in terms of lyrics, songwriting and production. ... Q: Sub Pop Records has been so [...]

METZ - Dirty Shirt (Live @ Knitting Factory)

Yvette (Live @ Knitting Factory)

On Thursday, December 20th, Meyhem Lauren celebrated the release of his second excellent mixtape of the year Madatory Brunch Meetings with Sean Price, Spit Gemz and Dyme-a-Duzin and a whole mess of featured rappers. See more images from this post.

This past Friday (December 7th), The Last Bison  and High Highs  co-headlined Brooklyn's Knitting Factory: a venue so intimate that made each set feel like it was being played in my living room, which was pretty awesome. How many people get two awesome bands to play in their living rooms? Anyway. First up was The Last Bison  who can only be described as a folk rock family band: the seven-piece is made up of guitarist and singer/songwriter Ben Hardesty along with father Dan and sister Annah, as [...]

Stereogum I should have seen the warning signs from the jump: duo with one classic album and a decade of rumors and unfruitful false starts on a follow-up reunite for a show with sketchy promotion and no sign of the high-profile cosigns that made them famous in the first place. I would have been more angry about last night's Cannibal Ox show if it wasn't so depressing. Read More... [...]
