This is a really full weekend, so lemme see if I can get you excited as I am…

Tomorrow I’m using the Castle In Hell (down the street from The Market Hotel) for the first time. It’s the first show my friend Kristen has set up, and is a totally packed bill. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Michael Jordan destroy themselves (and the audience) for our viewing pleasure.

- AND THEN -

If you haven’t had a chance to check out Chief Mag’s (http://chiefmag.com/) new space in Bushwick (right next to Goodbye Blue Monday), now’s your chance. Same goes for Titus Andronicus. Catch both before they’re too hot to touch anymore….

- AND ALSO -

This weekend is the “Full Color Distro,” Showpaper’s first art show’s, LAST WEEKEND. Everybody at Showpaper worked super super hard on this show, and we’re really excited about all the beautiful art we have available, so come by, take a look online, and consider supporting us (and the artists!) by purchasing something or passing it along to someone who might be interested. Thanks!

—-[ BAND INFO ]—–

[ TITUS ANDRONICUS ]
“They hit every mark, nailing noise and debris against shake-and-sing anthems. That’s Titus Andronicus’ ploy– aggressing and endearing audiences as a completely ramshackle crew of Jersey drunks, while somehow triumphing through perfectly clangorous pop songs. If this band can convince itself not to fall apart at the well-lubed, beer-soaked seams, watch out. ” - Pitchforkmedia.com

[ ANAMANAGUCHI ]
“Using real instruments along with a NES Anamanaguchi uses 8-bit sound along with powerness and awesomeness that make them an amazing powerful band. It is a harmonious combination of both digital and analog instruments. Truly is a fantastic heart-felt journey that one can find meaning to. With no words just pure rockage, the songs paint beautiful scenes of color and life.” - http://hmmburger.com/
Music > http://myspace.com/anamanaguchi

[ RUNTIME ERROR ]
“Julian (Fiasco/Orphans/Crimer/Graffiti Monsters) and Lucian (Fiasco) know each other very well. They are friends of Jack Wolf (The Crayons/Jet Lag) and knows that he likes early Black Dice. They also are friends with Louis (Graffiti Monsters), who makes electronic circuit-bending instruments that sound amazing and plays gameboy, so they get Jack and Louis. Now the band is officially happening and has played Louis’ girlfriend Susannah’s birthday party, STFO twice, Claire Ardito’s show in Tribecca, Death By Audio, That really good show in Bed-Stuy and the Knitting Factory tap bar. hoooray. Their debut full length is probably going to be called Funcrime Terror” - ’space

[ …BAND INFO… ]

[ PONYTAIL ]
Truly one of the majors in the first wave of important players recently to emerge out of Baltimore — along with Dan Deacon, Videohippos, Ecstatic Sunshine, and Beach House — the Charm City quartet has spent three years incessantly playing all-ages, d.i.y. shows, as well as touring with Battles, the Death Set, and most recently, Joan of Arc. Ponytail has refined a distinctive sound that is as chaotic as melody can get, short of becoming noise. The tight ensemble shreds out one musical celebration after the next, largely staying true to an indefinable blend of shimmering beat-driven pop, psychedelic jamming set on fast-fast-forward, and Molly Siegel’s potentially karate-inspired shrieks, trills, and airy vocalizations. This one’s for second generation Deerhoof fans, totally bizarre but unwaveringly confident, seamlessly tight but nail-bitingly spontaneous. Ablaze from start to finish with chiming dueling guitar hooks (the inimitable Dustin Wong co-founded the duo Ecstatic Sunshine) and all-out, math-y attacks driven by Jeremy Hyman’s uncurbed, survival-style drumming. Ice Cream Spiritual slays, but good-naturedly and light-heartedly; is totally far-out yet super accessible; and is THE quintessential record of the year to give you an idea of what the hell the kids are doing in those rad, smelly basements anyway!

[ POCAHAUNTED ]
All you really need to know is locked in the beautiful tones and daunting noises. Generally speaking, Pocahaunted trades in more ethereal seances, while Robedoor are more given to monolithic mega-drones, but both seem capable of either and a lot more. What they have most in common is a wide-open sense of space and time, and a beautiful ability to let their music grow and expand to ideal fruition.

[ WOODS ]
“Red Records #2… Newest incarnation of nyc’s wondrous woods, as the trio of jeremy earl, jarvis taveniere, and g lucas crane. For sure the finest yet from these folks… lysergic & infectiously bent acidfolk mashed into faust IV style electronically dosed pop grooving, all awash in odd studio effects, motorik percussion, cracked fuzz, unique vocal gush, twisted lyrics, and burning psych jams… plus enough sweet hooks to get yr next freakout party moving right. hell yes, its a wicked one…” - Time-Lag

[ ROBEDOOR ]
Forever entangled with Pocahaunted…

[ PINK REASON ]
“I’ve seen Pink Reason four times in five months and never has the lineup been the same, nor the sound or feel or attitude. In fact all four times have been drastically different”

[ SILVERGHOST ]
“When Marcie Bolen left the Von Bondies, we’re sure a gaggle of creepy dudes got reverse boners. The good news is that the VB’s are still going strong with a new lineup, and that our little red-headed vixen is continuing to make a racket with a couple of new bands, Silverghost being one of them. Teaming up with drummer-cum-keyboardist Deleano Acevedo (who also plays with her in the no wave troupe F*Ke Blood), Bolen wastes no time getting her guitar-pop on, reminding us that it was her foundation-laying riffs and coy background vocals that helped drive “C’Mon C’mon” into our skulls in the first place. With Silverghost, we get Bolen front and center, charming us like a young Molly Ringwald with an SG strapped to her back.”
