Kleenex Girl Wonder

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT NYC

Three cheers for Kleenex Girl Wonder, one of my all time favorite bands. Singer and writer Graham Smith has a deep, primordial grasp of the whole fuzz folk lo-fi thing that seems to constantly elude the other guys and lead them astray. With eleven full-length albums under […]

Robyn | “Dancing On My Own”

ART OF SONG Robyn “Dancing On My Own” Body Talk Pt. 1 Konichiwa | 2010

Robyn was the reason my best friend in sixth grade came out of the closet. One summer afternoon in 1996, he and I were jumping on his enormous backyard trampoline, screaming along to “Show Me Love” like we always […]

Last Wednesday, an adorable swarm of stripey-teed, bespectacled Williamsburgers filed in to Glasslands for bands whose very monikers spoke volumes to the nature […]

Savoir Adore

photo by Mardi Miskit LOCAL SPOTLIGHT NYC One thing to keep in mind before the New Year – it pays to play it by ear. Last week I sprinted to meet Savoir Adore at the Bedford stop a few (40) minutes late, and found Deidre, Paul, and David chatting contentedly over beers. With […]

Susu

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT NYC If repetition is the father of learning, then Susu has a lot to teach. Their forlorn guitar melodies, simple vocal arrangements, and lyrical mantras crown in waves of unadulterated, kickass rock-outs. With the additional treats of electronic drums, whistling, and creatively placed gutteral cries, they set themselves apart from the average […]
