You’re not gonna want to miss this show on December 4th at Arlene’s Grocery, organized by Deli intern Amanda Check it:
Brooklyn’s Sea Monsters (in the picture) are a trio that make rockin’, awesome unabashedly in yo’ face punk music. The bros make an awesome, lo-fi brand of music that is poppy without being too annoyingly poppy and discusses the fun things in life: sex, love, and having fun.
NYC duo Indian Rebound have in The Deli's radar recently, with their signature brand of dreamy, showstopping indie rock jams. The band is currently working on new tracks, with their most current single, “So Strange” available on their bandcamp.
Ski Lodge is the newest project from Andrew Marr, a former member of the Clementines. Marr’s music is the perfect feel-good music: dance-worthy, jangly indie pop tunes that instantly make your day better (trust me, they’ve made my past week better). His EP is out now on Dovecote records.
On the bill also Florida based psychedelic indie pop duo Sunbears!
Walker's goal here isn't to baanlce the budget. When he took office, the state had a $137 million deficit. One of his first acts as governor was to give $140 million in tax breaks to big business. How does that help the deficit? Taking away the bargaining rights of public workers isn't going to save the state money. I for one am happy to pay the teachers of Wisconsin a good salary. Wisconsin has some of the greatest public schools in the nation...let's keep it that way.
We've always been big fans of Luke Temple, and it's good to see that, together with the Here We Go Magic crew, the man is keeping at it with increasingly beautiful records and videos. The band's new album "A Different Ship" (stream it here) will be out on May 8, and betrays at least a partial return to Luke Temple's more intimate and melodic sound from his solo repertoire - in this regard, lend a ear to "Hard to Be Close," "Alone but Moving" and "Over the Ocean". This is welcome news for fans like us who always thought that in most HWGM material Luke's noteworthy songwriting skills seemed a little sacrificed on the altar of textural experimentation. This doesn't mean that the band's signature hypnotic, impressionistic sound is lost - it's just that these two elements work together better than they did in past records, and this is what makes this album one of the NYC highlights of the year so far. Indeed, this collection also features songs more in line with the band's past releases ("Make Up your Mind", "I Believe in Action"), which follow on the steps of brainy-pop icons like Brian Eno and The Feelies, but there's definitely a balance here, also betrayed by the almost perfect alternation of melodic songs and less traditional ones.The just released video of "How Do I Know," telling the story of a rejected dancing robot that ends up revitalizing an older man's appreciation for life, seems to reflect on this brain/heart, mechanic/organic dichotomies and somehow bring them to unity. - PDG
