photos by Jonathon Bernstein Shout Out Louds @ Webster Hall, 5/10/2013 Shout Out Louds played their second NYC show in two months on Friday night (5/10) at Webster Hall. The poppy Swedes -- who also played one of the BV day parties at SXSW this year -- are in the midst of a North American tour supporting their tuneful new album, Optica , but made time for [...]

Photos via Dana Pacifico Four Tet stopped by Webster Hall on Wednesday as a part of the Red Bull Music Academy's many shows currently taking place across the city. Electronic acts can be a tough sell on me, as I often left disappointing by a lack of diversity during a set, but Four Tet delivered Wednesday night at Webster Hall. He played a highly enjoyable set that was easy to vibe along to as well as to connect with emotionally. He mixed a thumping persistent heavy bass with [...]
Tweet [Photos courtesy of Dominick Mastrangelo Photography ] We were captivated by Lucius when they joined us for a Backyard Brunch Session last year, and since that time, their buzz has only grown. After being hailed as a "band to watch" by multiple outlets leading up to and after this year's SXSW, the band landed a slot opening for Caveman on their headlining tour. This homecoming show at Webster Hall gave Lucius a chance to give it [...]

by Andrew Sacher Savages at Bowery Ballroom in March ( more by PSquared Photography ) London post-punk four-piece Savages , who have proved to be a major force on stage , finally channeled that power into a debut album, Silence Yourself , which came out today (5/7) via Matador. It captures their live energy well, and the record's reminiscent of the Interpol-led post-punk revival of the early '00s in [...]

As mentioned , UK electronic artist Gold Panda is about to start a short North American tour, playing NYC on Saturday (5/11) at Knitting Factory (sold out).

Gold Panda will also be back this fall and while a full set of dates [...]

Austra at Hammerstein Ballroom in January ( more by Dana (distortion) Yavin ) As mentioned , Austra are releasing a new album, Olympia , on June 18 via Domino/Paper Bag. The band just made a video for the album's excellent single, "Home," and have also announced a new string of tour dates. The new dates see Austra coming back to NYC for a show on September 22 at Webster Hall with DIANA . That [...]

This Friday, May 3rd, Webster Hall's “Girls and Boys Night,” is about to get funky. Pretty Lights Music's own, Gramatik will be in the house dropping his signature style for all the girls and boys to get down to. With over 100,000 tracks sold on Beatport, Gramatik earned nominations at the 2010 and 2012 Beatport Awards for “Best Chill Out Artist” and “Best Chill Out Track,” respectively. Unafraid to break through boundaries and cross genres, Gramatik has sampled everything from the blues to The Beatles. Throughout his entire catalog is an abundance of musical influences, including jazz, soul, [...]

photos by Amanda Hatfield Jim James @ Webster Hall, 4/29/2013 It's a strange juxtaposition going from witnessing a caped James fronting My Morning Jacket at a packed Madison Square Garden, which holds roughly 20,000 during concerts, to seeing his dancing, up-close in a Blues Brothers-themed suit, 20 blocks south at Webster Hall, which fills with a little more than 1,400 at the main stage. But last night proved that venue has little influence and Jim James can and always will beguile an [...]

With a sound that walks the line between dream pop and chill wave, New York producer Richard Cupolo has created a memorable debut that's become a favorite of ours. His debut record isn't due out until May 15th, but you can still preview it in all of it's grandeur in our review from earlier this month . Ahead of all this, we were able to catch up with Cupolo to find out a little about his background, plans for a tour, and if there was anything in the works to expand City Society into more [...]

It’s no mean feat to be one of the best parties on Fridays in Manhattan week in and week out, but Alex English and the GBH crew make it look easy. On April 5th, Webster Hall played host to the incredibly talented musician Griz as part of a tour supporting his album Mad Liberation . Click that link. Seriously. The whole thing is free, and it’s incredible. If you want the background on the young homie check out our preview here . This [...]

Last Friday at New York’s famous Webster Hall , Simon Green ( Bonobo ) performed a spectacular set of his own music with a full live band. Bonobo has performed his own music previously in this context, but the addition of songs from his newest release ‘ The North Borders ,’ and album so compositionally rich it's difficult to imagine this performance any other way, truly enhanced the presence and experience. One truly notable performance was that of the singer Szjerdene , who sings [...]

photos by Dominick Mastrangelo Caveman @ Webster Hall, 4/10/2013 And how was this vision a departure from CoCo Beware? We were seeing a lot more UFOs, getting more into the universe vibe. It does sound like an alien tune a little bit...something otherworldly. Thank you! I think we've just been playing music with each other a lot more, and just--our brains connected a lot more. The initial idea [...]
[photo courtesy of Will Oliver of We All Want Someone to Shout For ] Caveman has come a long way very quickly since we first saw them 18 months ago as an opening band at Cameo Gallery. At that show, opening for fellow quick-climbers The War On Drugs, it was fairly obvious that Caveman would be going places. A couple of months later they were playing larger gigs, and when their debut CoCo Beware was picked up by Fat Possum Records , the band went national. This [...]
