 2008/10/31NEW TALLY HALL SONG!So... here is another post about Tally Hall. I just read this great review of their show at the Rugby store, which happened after they played our day party. I was too tired to go, but it sounds like it was a great intimate show, packed with fans and striped shirts. Best of all is this video of one of their new songs, "Never Meant To Know." posted by n. @ 10/31/2008
2008/10/30Oh snap it's a recap: This Side Up / I Rock I Roll / Filter's CMJ DAY PARTY!So while Bumpershine already has a sorta recap of what I did during CMJ Friday & Saturday nights (along with the rest of the After The Jump-ers), I thought it would be good to recap the party I actually helped put together - my FIRST for CMJ ever, with This Side Up Sounds and Filter Magazine! First up: Pretty & Nice were EXCELLENT and i am hoping to get them back for a show asap. their drummer is one of my new favorite people, he wears science goggles when he drums. they are the only band I made a point of seeing twice during the marathon, and it was well worth the effort. Expect to see a lot more posting on them here in a "Tally Hall style" capacity. I have no pictures of them, because I had no camera either time I saw them. What a fail on my part. But this just means you have to come see for yourself, right? Pretty & Nice - Fortress  Princeton were a great addition to the day and really did their best to get everyone in the venue to dance, which is a hard task at 1 in the afternoon in a room full of sober people but they made it work! Princeton - The Waves  Jukebox the Ghost’s guitar player Tommy woke up 15 minutes before their scheduled set somewhere in brooklyn, but managed to make it to the venue after some frantic phone calls, kindaaaa looking like he had just fallen out of bed. but it was great, they rocked it, had the same funny banter as always and played a new song!  Jukebox The Ghost - Matter Of Time  Next up were The Noisettes who basically BLEW MY MIND. Their singer is a talent like I haven’t seen in a while. And she’s super hot and smelled really good too, if that matters. they were fantastic. I am in love. They should be playing much larger venues then Rehab, that is for sure. The Noisettes - The Count Of Monte Christo  Tally Hall played two new songs, wore their new vests, and were great. I talk about Tally Hall on this blog basically every day, so I think you know my feelings here. Go watch episode 4 of their internet show!!! It's up now! Tally Hall - Haiku  In the end, it was a really fun way to spend an afternoon, everyone drank ALL the Colt 45 and got crazy, and I tried both of the tasty flavors of Function Water and give them a thumbs up for sure. That "hangover cure" they promise is no joke! Also a big big thank you for Ross and Andrew from Tally Hall, who were the DJs for the afternoon. They played some great stuff... including uh... Dogs Eye View!?!?  SO woo hoo and see you next CMJ where we will have something bigger and better going on, I'm sure. All of the really great photos on this post are by the amazing Bryan. The rest are by me. posted by n. @ 10/30/2008
2008/10/29Lowry, Part 2!I blogged about Brooklyn band Lowry a few months ago, and am excited to have more to share. PLUS they are playing a show at the new studio at Webster Hall TONIGHT, with my other faves The Bloodsugars. Here's a video they just put out: "Face Behind Your Hands" from Lowry on Vimeo. They also have a song called "Whiskey," that I am really digging, mostly because in this freezing pre-snow weather, it's nice to sip a little to keep yourself warm. And this is a good song to listen to while you do that. Lowry - Whiskey posted by n. @ 10/29/2008
cmj band crush #1: the depreciation guild
 so i know i initially said that CMJ was pretty meh and stuff, but then I looked at my itunes the other day and realized that I had added a lot of new bands that I am actually REALLY excited about, all from last week alone. so in the end I think.. CMJ? mission accomplished! but I will agree with what Sarah said... it really really sucks to have to work a day job and then try to go to CMJ shows at night. at least during SXSW I can drink margaritas all day and night with friends and see tons of bands and not have to worry about the power point presentation I have to put together the next day. First up, we have NYC band The Depreciation Guild. Okay so... do you remember that really really awesome video game for the original Nintendo entertainment system, Maniac Mansion??? It looked like this:  Well BASICALLY, if you took the soundtrack to that game (which was SO AWESOME) turned it into a good looking band and added a lot more shoegaze to it, the result would be The Depreciation Guild. They even play in front of trip-y colored video screens which enhances the otherworld-ly quality of their music, and if you read the band credits, one of the members is listed as playing TOYS. How do I get a job like that?! I saw them play at our After The Jump showcase at the Knitting Factory and was so mesmerized I barely noticed when someone handed me a can of Sparks plus, so that pretty much says it all. Check out Depreciation Guild this Saturday (11/1) at some crazy new venue in Greenpoint called Alphabeta (which by day is a graffiti supply store!). Their album, In Her Gentle Jaws can be downloaded entirely FOR FREE if you click on the yellow strip on their website.

2008/10/27TALLY HALL - video for "Welcome To Tally Hall!"
I love this video. Every time I watch it I notice something new I didn't see before. Ross also sat down with our friends The Music Slut and answered 8 questions about music and the band's recent relocation to New York. Read it here! posted by n. @ 10/27/2008
Jukebox The Ghost - Live @ Rehab during CMJ! Here is a great video of Jukebox The Ghost playing "Good Day" at the CMJ Day Party I put on with This Side Up & Filter Magazine on Friday. Enjoy! More CMJ write ups on zee way. (and yes, Tally Hall really did DJ Shastakovitch. Ross & Andrew did a great job. You should have them DJ your party!) posted by n. @ 10/27/2008

PS: I seriously think that having LOUIS XIV kick off CMJ 2008 kiiiiind of says it all. don't you? posted by n. @ 10/22/2008

2008/10/16Pretty & Nice = Awesome & Fun.
 I have to first say, that if you are going to describe a girl as "pretty and nice," I probably would be like "ZZzzzzz." It's like the difference between the "simple" girls and the katie girls (your girl is lovely hubble... you know). Fortunately there is NOTHING dull about the BAND Pretty & Nice. Infact, this Boston trio are more like super fun garage band times - I mean basically when I listen to their songs, I want to do EXACTLY what this girl on their album art is up to:  Except probably not in that outfit unless I was in some retro 50s beach movie. "Get Young" is out right now on Hardly Art. Pretty and Nice are playing the CMJ day party that I am putting on with Filter and This Side Up @ Rehab, and they are on at noon. And it's TOTALLY FREE.

2008/10/09white lies. white lies. white lies. have got a hold on me.
 Apparently this band has played Lollapalooza and been all over the place, and I don't know where I was but I missed it. I can't win them all I suppose, right? Actually, when I was djing the Glasvegas show this weekend, the lovely Elhaam came over and asked me to play White Lies, and I didn't have any and I was like... that seems wrong. They are, after all, everything I love in a dark moody british band.So now I am head over heels for this song of course! And the band is going on tour with Glasvegas (how appropriate!). But first they have two CMJ shows, one at the Ben Sherman Store on Oct 23rd, and then at Bowery on the 24th. White Lies - Death posted by n. @ 10/09/2008
