FREE summer 2007 shows of New York

In the meantime, New Yorkers can catch Sonic Youth members Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, and Jim O'Rourke at the No Fun Fest in Brooklyn in May (don't expect anything like Sonic Youth though!).

i may have once attended a baby loves disco

I'll save that up in my zing file

j/k

some friends of mine accidentally cc'd me and shannon on an invite to one of those, I wrote back and asked whether there was kid rental available at the venue or was someone going to lend us one

silent films are silent...stop making up fake soundtracks, brooklyn.

silent films were rarely silent back during that era

yes, music always... why can't Alloy-Hitchcock be good, skrit?

while this is true...i still hate having some musician's musicians trying to tell me how to deal with the FILM.

music school nerds gone "carnivalesque" upon graduation

i missed that Alloy/Hitchcock thing. sounds promising.

Passion de Jeanne d'Arc would be much improved with a Joplin ragtime piano behind it.

Is anyone going to the shows at the seaport?

supposedly that television show will be the last one.

Is anyone going to the shows at the seaport?

I will def. be at Animal Collective and Fujiya & Miyagi, possibly Battles

I'll probably be at Animal Collective and Battles.

For those with wheels, all the action's in Nassau County this summer. Kansas! Dennis DeYoung! Petulia Clark! Eric Burdon! Freddie Paris! B. J. Thomas! Shannon! Lisa Lisa! Leslie Uggams! Rich Little! Dick Dale? On Lawrence Welk night? Are there more than one Dick Dale? IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BOBBY VINTON, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN ENTERTAINED!

click music under the stars

Petula, even.

It's like right outside my door, so I'll be there to. I hope AC puts on the freakiest show evah and spooks the annoying tourists that go there:) that'd be fun.

it was supposed to rain the night of AC so nobody went, i think. it didn't end up raining though

friends of mine went
they said it was good ... altho they played all new stuff as usual

i heard sound sucked

what's up with The Invisible Conga People, never heard of 'em

So if any1 is serious about Television, for 'name' acts it's best to line up no later than 2:30 (better 2:15) at the Summerstage gate. If you want to sit (I do, pref in the bleachers). When it gets full (Sonic Youth) they've stopped letting people enter in the past.

Hmmm, thanks, Morbs. I have it on my calendar for going to, we shall see what Saturday holds. Goodnight Loving also that night at uh Trash Bar?

OH FUCK TELEVISION

ok then. is Television a name act?

in NYC yeah

I DNW to wait in line all afternoon

what's up with The Invisible Conga People, never heard of 'em

Justin from Native Nod and We Acediasts, old NJ punk compatriot of Mr.'s Murphy and Simonetti. We Acediasts was his band in Japan, James Murphy produced, really really cool stuff. ICP is him and another musician doing like, electro-acoustic minimal "dance" music of sorts. Only heard myspace so far.

A friend involved w/ PS1 booking this summer told me they were trying to have more experimental and live music, as it's an "art" space that should have such things, and not just pumping house music for yuppies with kids on their shoulders. Funny that Eliot Sharp's on the bill with Glass Candy.

ysi We Acediasts?

http://www.mesh-key.com/

re ps1, a lot of great stuff, but at the same time, a lot of local stuff. I always remember PS1 for bringing cool big or at least rare for NYC names.

http://www.mesh-key.com/acediasts_mp3s.html

We Acediasts reminds me a lot of Ruins!

oh man i wish i was there for this, i've been on a huge television kick again. i've listened to the eno demo tapes everyday while working in my kitchen.

The drums on the We Acediasts tracks are awesome

i might still have the promo for we acediasts...never really luved it, though...so close

lsd march at OM next week. 20th? maybe

booker t and mg's: just plain awesome...battery park city is one fucked up place, though...its like a project without the projecty stuff

MKY007 / LP
TO BE RELEASED SUMMER 2007

daaaamn. didn't know about that. I love the Pre Acediasts 12".

on ps1: i've heard the same as dan re: the sort of odd programing. i love that touch of class did parties with us back in the rpllnt days, but i can't even remember them now.

i liked the pre acediasts!

not just pumping house music for yuppies with kids on their shoulders
not just pumping house music for yuppies with kids on their shoulders
not just pumping house music for yuppies with kids on their shoulders
not just pumping house music for yuppies with kids on their shoulders

sonned

I DNW to wait in line all afternoon

You could pretend it's a Wii prototype calle Talking with Friends on a Line.

tell me you weren't also wearing sandals, mike.

Hahhahahaha Morb u funny, boo.

no but i did have manpris on

and yes, Morbs match point with that one

In fairness to JW, my 47-y.o. ex-CBGB-'70s-punk friend also hates waiting on lines, and if he goes to the Television show will sit outside the gate with his kids.

aw goddamnit...

This just added to Saturday 6/16 gig @ Trash

Special Guest - Bruno from legendary UK band, The Homosexuals, will play a very short set backed by NYC band Imaginary Icons - a preview of upcoming Homosexuals gigs fall 2007...

added to the vancougar/good night lovin show.

I'll be ALONE (maybe) IN THE BLEACHERS

JW: Academy WB has the We Acediasts on vinyl

kim's has like 12 copies of it

they should repackage it as a seminal dfa project

thx

Oh FUCK re Goodnight Lovin + post-Homos tonight, but I'm bound for the Slope for a birthday. :(

that B-52s is confirmed now. and check this - http://www.brooklynconcerts.com/mlk.html

they should repackage it as a seminal dfa project

they kind of already do! the one I bought had a dfa sticker on it

anyone go see Television? did it get rained on?

Apples in Stereo got rained on, or rather the audience did. Then cleared, and we learned Richard Lloyd was in hospital. Show was pretty OK w/sub. I found my friend Ray.

HEY I WENT TO SEE NOISE BANDS PLAY ACOUSTIC and it was okay! Really liked Aa -- would see again. Roosvlet Island also trippy, and a good 25 or so miles ridden today. A+++ Sunday.

Apparently Junior Mance played last Thursday evening in Bryant Park. Those who work in midtown or are otherwise available should check out his lunchtime gig at the same place end of July, beginning of August.

Dan Zanes should stop all this nonsense and get a haircut.

I knew I should have checked what that Roosevelt Island show was.

lol @ dan zanes getting referenced on this thread

i want to stab that guy with a dull fork

I used to live in Downtown Brooklyn and can confirm that he has that same snit-eating grin even when he is walking around in off-camera everyday life.

He played outdoors at Rutgers once, which was my only experience with him

my local has a poster for the free shows in central park in the mens room which is odd considering we're a thousand miles away. i got psyched when i saw that television would be playing here. until i read more and realized they would not be playing here.

you better stop. and think it over. think it over again.

i was thinking of that roosevelt thing but i did laundry instead. howver, any outside fun this summer, hit me up, because i have a cooler on wheels thanks to staff appreciation week at my job.

I recommend the performances of the anti-Dan Zanes, Adam Roth.

haha spotted zanes at the whitney museum summer o'love exhibit awhile back, wandering around w/that doofus haircut, trying to get noticed. his music is for "hipster parents"? anyway my kid didn't like it.

Biz Markie is playing in a park somewhere this summer.

Ken you should take the kids to see my friend's kids band, The Deedle Deedle Dees: http://myspace.com/thedeedledeedledees

and you can found out where on this very thread (xp)

lol@ laurel liking Aa

I knew you'd be amused, Jon!! Said so to dmr last night on phone. But it was v affecting yesterday, I dunno about their amped shows but the acoustic was awesome, plus that one guy is hotcha.

Hurting, who do you know in the deedle deedle dees? I know a few of those guys, some friends in common.

E-1y L3v1n

(drummer)

We went to school and worked on the campus weekly together. I might actually go do karaoke with him tonight.

He is one of the members I know. I guess I know them all to different degrees. Tell him I say hello.

my band, this Sat.:

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007 7:00 PM
Williamsburg, NY
http://www.liveatrose.com/live/
Performing in front of Rose Music, 345 Grand St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY

Jordan, I wd very much like to be there but I will be in Cali instead. :((((((

Okay, I lied, I cannot be sad about California even if it means missing the Mermaid Day parade and the mass bike ride to Coney Island and As playing and your band playing and bell labs guesting w/ Disco Very. I just can't.

lame

but i understand

hey Superchunk @McCarren is this Sunday.

one-stop OHMyRockness list of free shows:

http://www.ohmyrockness.com/showlist.cfm?freeShows

yeah I'm planning on going to that
even though I stopped paying attention to them about 5 albums ago

http://www.madisonsquarepark.org/Programs/MadSqMusic.aspx

haha mad sq music is like, half acts that played pub last fall/winter!

wow, Lucy Kaplansky has bn around forevah.

I'm guessing no one remembered this re New Pornographers!!!

Sorry, all the tickets for the July 4th concert have all been reserved

also, we hafta RSVP for Superchunk & the other McCarren shows? wtf is wrong with these ppl?

http://newyork.going.com/poolpartiesjune24

perhaps you should take that less seriously

do people still listen to Karate? Geoff Farina (frontman) and Ida are playing at my bar this Friday for free.

so what zackly does RSVPing at Jellynyc get you, then?

whoa ida still play?

ha...i was supposed to have ida and secret stars do a show in college...but geoff wanted as much for ss as some other dude had paid for karate... i should come round and give him the hard time.

there's a hilarious/misleading listing on the the jellynyc site that i'm surprised jon and shasta haven't browbeaten into submission

ALL POol PARTIES are FREE with RSVP and based on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS

I guess rsvp would give you priority if the crowd is at capacity ... but the pool is huge

maybe for TV on the Radio I would RSVP but I'll take my chances for Superchunk

that is bad

anyone go to Ex-Models at East River Amphithtr tomw afternoon? or should I go w/ my friends & kids to Mermaid Parade?

I'd go to Ex Models if I wasn't doing Wiimbledon tomorrow. Superchunk'll be fun.

OK I saw Ben at McCarren, where wuz other slack mofos?

buffalo :(

ew ew ew

I was at the pool, it was fun.

sanskrit they totally stole your dodgeball idea.

DMR, THEY CAN HAVE IT

xpost - they were good, yeah! dude had on a big floppy hat, looked like Jefferson Airplane. are their records good? I don't know much about them xcept one member used to be in Oneida or something?

James Carter at Harlem Meer this Sunday, 4-6

Abbey Lincoln headlines Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in August

Grateful Dead "Dark Star >> St. Stephen >> Not Fade Away >> Going Down The Road Feelin' Bad >> Not Fade Away" from Filmore East, NYC April 1971
File Under: jams

Caught Belgrade Chimney dropping the funkiest Eastern European styles last night with some support by fellow chims Space and Captain. Ended up at a 4am rub n tug dj set at a mostly empty church in the East Village. As Belgrade put it, just a "typical tuesday night" in NYC.

This 30 minute suite was recorded at the Fillmore East over 35 years earlier about 3 blocks down from the church.

Somehow got to talking to Belgrade about the Dead so these jams go out to him on this 4th of July.

anything to help you catch boring canadian power pop, morbs!

dazzle ships was cool

too bad I couldn't stay that late, I didn't have the holiday off work (also had started boozing at 7 w/ other friends)

this reminds me, at the morgan geist dazzle ships, bumrocks dropped a "Bird Song" somewhere in his set. didn't sound out of place.

beardo/tripster revivalism?

Space and Captain Chimney get the cred but what about Anonymous Chimney, i.e., me, who never figured out how to work the chimney anyway? Hardly a typical tuesday night, maybe a typical tuesday night before a national holiday!

totally not bumming chimney

CITY PARKS FOUNDATION PRESENTS GLOBAL FAMILY DAY WITH HIP HOP HARRY FOR FREE AT
SUMMERSTAGE ON SUNDAY, JULY 15TH, 2007

WHO: Hip Hop Harry
Sippy Cups
Break! The Urban Funk Spectacular

WHAT:      Get ready to rock it pre-schoolers at SummerStage’s Global Family Day 2007, with the wild beats and kid-friendly flow of Hip-Hop Harry. A six-foot tall yellow bear in a Kangol cap, Harry is kind of a funkier version of Barney—if Barney had lived in the South Bronx in the ‘80s. Nominated for Outstanding Pre-School Children’s Series by the Daytime Emmys, the show is a staple of Discovery Kids and TLC networks. A typical live Hip-Hop Harry show is a joyous mix of break-dancing, educational lyrics and musical adventure.

Described by the LA Times as “the Flaming Lips of the toddler set,” The Sippy Cups bring to kids’ music such hipster-certified influences as the Velvet Underground, T. Rex, The Beatles and Syd Barrett. Most of the six members of group played in indie rock bands before having kids, so they understand the importance of getting the grown-ups involved. The Cups make the kind of glorious din that will induce parents to stomp and bomp along with their children.

BREAK! The Urban Funk Spectacular is a mind-blowing trip through the history of break dancing, with the most amazing poppin’, lockin’, head-spinning and power-tumbling you’re ever likely to see. The dancers are some of the finest New York has to offer, veterans of old-school “battles” who use their skills and athleticism to bring break dancing to stages across the world.

WHEN:     Sunday, July 15th, 3:00 PM

WHERE:   Rumsey Playfield, Central Park SummerStage.  Enter the park at 69th Street and Fifth Avenue on the east side or at 72nd Street and Central Park West on the west side.

menomena wuz good

wow, siren festival to be worse than ever...

what is the deal with matt and kim? endlessly annoying yet adored...

What is the deal with hipsters having bad taste?

they're being ironic

Marc Ribot
Tonite
World Financial Center Plaza
7pm
solo and also with two groups:
- Spiritual Unity (Ayler tribute w/ Henry Grimes, Chad Taylor, Roy Campbell)
- Ceramic Dog (rockish thing featuring Ches Smith on drums)

anyone?

Ceramic Dog = WAU

oh i wanted to see that :(

Sound was not ideal for free chamber jazz (where you want to be hanging on Chad Taylor's snare tone and every little creak of Henry Grimes's bow), but Spiritual Unity was still pretty good too. Ceramic Dog was heavy though.

Neko Case @Summerstage Friday

O'Death @Sound Fix 8pm Sunday

I may go to Siren 2-6 cuz friend wants to

Suicide @ Seaport, Friday

what an odd outdoor location for them to play

THERE WAS A SUN ONCE, IT LIT THE WHOLE DAMN SKY

Would you like an impossible punk rock weird-dream surprise? If you are in NY this weekend, here's the instructions: Go to Thompkins Park Sq. at about 5 p.m. this Sunday and wait. It's a free show. You can't miss it. You will be bragging about it Monday. Sorry to be cryptic, but all you need to know, I've told you, and to tell more would ruin the surprise, now wouldn't it?

uh^^Jawbreaker reunion in Thomkins Sq. tomorrow????

who have come to support the digital platform. It's also a thank you t
those individuals in the city who have come to support the local and
national Art, Music and Film community. We'll do that by bringing music
back to the community parks. It's a nod to a time when this music was
about community; community support and community interaction. We want to
recreate that energy with the ultimate park jam experience and we want
you to be there.

You will be treated to an all day event with special performances by:

Brand Nubian, Cham, Large Professor, Clipse, MIMS, Joell Ortiz and many
more special guests.

This special event takes place on Saturday 8.04.07. The location of the
event is a secret and you will be notified of the specific location when
you receive your ticket 72 hours before the show. Time of event is 3 to
10pm.

You will receive a bar-coded ticket in your email which you have to
print out and present at the event for entry.

Visit www.zuneliveatthebbq.net to register (while supplies last).

are you wrinklepaws?

Ouch!

Much bullshit involved with the above, true, but it seemed like a lineup worth seeing. I'll shut up about it.

just a Zune zing, don't take it personal

to give back to our cultural core
consumer

beauty

just a little fun, etc etc.

that sounds like a great lineup

I just now looked up the Zune thread. That was actually an A+++ zing, I must say.

Anyway, I just noticed that above announcement thing first went out last wednesday tho it reached me this morning. I suppose I've probably registered too late to get in, but who knows. Outsidescoop.jpg

That was actually an A+++ zing, I must say.

Don't you mean "kudos"?

Ohh that's really tempting, I like CO.

CO at my bar tonight, but it will be kind of crowded.

well, so will Seaport, only w/ de turistas

Is Battles an RSVP type affair?

Can't do tonight, Yerac, unfortunately. Highland and then birthday obligations in Mhttn.

Is Battles an RSVP type affair?

nah Pier 17 is a pretty wide-open area, you just walk up and hang out. there's no "entry point" per se. I will probably go to that show after work.

I've seen bands arguably more popular than Battles at the seaport and it wasn't that crowded (Hot Chip last year, for one)

Yerac -- I totally meant to go see Black Moth Super Rainbow at yer bar on Saturday but forgot :(

it's ok i i forgot they were playing on saturday too. Laurel will you be highlanding anymore roller derby?

I wd meet you for beers and Scotpop at Seaport, Laurel.

Not in the forseeable future. Long Island Highland Games are this Saturday, Cloisters fest is in...October, I think? I will alert closer to the date.

Morbs, I can't commit, I'm afraid -- I'm sorry to be lame but I have an early Sat departure to report for and costume woes to deal with before then. Wd like to catch CO but don't hold me to it.

well, I may not go either.

That sounds like an awesome excuse, if the Yahoo Image Search for medieval pumpkin is any indication.

Moon Upstairs was SO BAD and Simeon was VERY DEPRESSING.

Just fyi.

yeah i was just thinking no way i will go out to Ridgewood, Queens to punkkeee performance space that might get shutdown for all i know. i guess knitten factory is my only other option. also that night doesn't conflict with an ethiopian band i want to see.

trip maker, does Simoen just use a modern day synthesizer now or does he lug around all the old chunky gear?

he was still using "the simeon" last time i saw them, but i don't know about this tour.

linds what was your band called when you opened for him? or tell me next time you see me if you don't want to post.

now I may have changed my mind about going :/

Simeon does not use the Simeon anymore. He basically plays one theremin along with pre-recorded tracks. The drums all sound weak. He can only use one hand, or something. It was sad :(

i was in a band called "creme blush" yes awful name, i know, i did not make that up. they had a second electroclash incarnation with just the lead singer and a different keyboardist but when i was with them it was 4 girls...it was 2001 or 2002 at the cooler

we couldn't have been worse than the ex-models, anyways

ive never seen silent barn even be in danger of getting shut down fwiw
but it is kinda far :/

I saw Creme Blush many times but not when you were in the band I don't think. Nicole was her name right? Her and an asian woman.

yes, nicole and satsuki. they made it into the vice guide to electroclash but that was after my time, lol

We could always just drink in wburg instead of going to ridgewood!
