Gary War - Opens CS

Oh damn.

Gary War - Opens CS is a live WFMU session released on cassette by Captured Tracks. Unlike the softer, more relaxed lo-fi psychedelia on New Raytheonport, Opens bursts forth with a sped-up, intimidating and muscular version of Good Clues. This drastic change is actually pulled off well, creating a much more lively show than what I expect the album played straight up would have given us.

Other news: This is going to be a great show. Still not the biggest Crystal Stilts fan ever, but I'd be down for this, especially with both Gary War and Nice Face opening. Not too familiar with Nerve City but oh well, 2 Great bands, 1 Good band, 1 unknown, and curated by Sacred Bones? I'm down.

I Need More Indie-Pop Loving Friends/Comet Gain/Pants Yell!

See Title.
4.11.09 - Pants Yell!/Sisters/Knight School/World Atlas @ Dead Herring
Woo! Never been there before. Seems like it'll be an awesomely catchy night. Love Pants Yell! I'm down with both Sisters and Knight School. Haven't seen World Atlas before, myspace sounds like Belle and Sebastian derivative indie-pop, but eh, can't say I'm not down with that; 'sides, they should fit in well with a Pants Yell! headlined show.

Pants Yell - Recent Drama

4.12.09 - Comet Gain/Crystal Stilts/Cold Cave @ Music Hall of Williamsburg
I'm not exactly sure how Cold Cave fits into this lineup, but it should be great nonetheless. Never seen Comet Gain live before, but I've got my hopes up.

Comet Gain - City Fallen Leaves

Anyone going to the Pants Yell! show? It will be sick. In the most fun, cutesy, indie-pop way possible.
