Magnetix at 285 Kent

Hey France, we're not really using the Statue of Liberty anymore, and it's getting kind of old and rusty too. Anyway, can we trade it in for these guys? Pretty please?

The Upper Crust at Mercury Lounge

Between the band name, song titles such as "Come Hither" (about picking up girls) and their outfits I will assume that we can all guess this band's gimmick. Yeah, it's a gimmick, but it's a fun gimmick. The songs are catchy and fun. Even the banter between songs is funny. So hey, why not?

Daikaiju at Lone Wolf

Gee, sometimes I don't have to write anything do I? Just look at these pictures! Seriously, this is why sometimes I still go out to some little bar in Bushwick or whereever on a weeknight.

Slowdance at The Knitting Factory

I almost hate to publish these photos because I feel that they are slightly misleading. The photos might make you think they had a severe case of that disease which makes musicians stare at their instruments (emoitis?) In fact their music is dance pop, I believe sung in French, and yes people were dancing. So perhaps a mild case, but there was also more energy in their performance than, alas, I was able to capture.

Royal Baths at The Knitting Factory

The last time I took some photos of these guys it was at Death By Audio, more or less in the dark. What a difference a few LED arrays make, eh? These shots are much better. Dark and moody, well suited to the music, not dark and "that could be a photo of anything so anyway what is it?"
