When an intensely, pondering poet, draped in a broken-in hollow body guitar and spewing red and raw vocals, as if choking on the sun-baked mud and dust of his subject matter, teams up with a hold no cheap shots (at least behind the kit) kind of drummer-himself awash in sweat, fighting off the rush of blood from his own battered fingers-the live result can only be something that tip toes on the overwhelming. Such is the case with Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel.
Though the two childhood friends hail from San Francisco, Two Gallants' performance at the Blender Theater at the Gramercy would have one believe they were bred on an utterly authentic, rural ruggedness. I suppose it's due to the way their agrarian blend of folk, blues, country, rock, and punk conjure up apocalyptic dust bowl images-think The Grapes o

Few souls burn as intensely as The Veils' Finn Andrews. When the gothic laced mad hatter took the Bowery Ballroom's stage for this performance, he quickly assumed the agonized face that his theatrical, unrestrained, and discontent music so rightfully demands. The Smiths, Stone Roses, Nick Cave, The Cure, and The ClashÂ…the New Zealander and son of former XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews took welcome live musical cues from a host of acts who knew music was no game, but rather a deeply personal and spiritual phenomenon.

Hesta Prynn, Spero, and Sprout (aka Northern State) pop the champagne cork on their long awaited album Can I Keep This Pen (Ipecac Recordings) for a spirited gathering at Brooklyn's Luna Lounge. Hosted by the very show biz savvy, Mr. Murray Hill, Northern State set their cerebral blend of hip hop beats, live rock riffs, and tight as a hipster's belt buckle lyric delivery to a Wild West, show down at the OK coral theme. Yee haw ladies!
In this exciting, 30-minute blitz of footage, Baeble's Allison Hagendorf takes viewers from the front of the house to the back, in this, Northern State's record release party at Luna Lounge. - David Pitz

While it might be slightly misleading, I don t think the aptly titled Blonde Redhead had devious intentions in mind. Having built a sturdy, longtime foundation on the artful bedrock of noisy, resonant guitar drones, and off kilter tunings, Blonde Redhead earned a reputation as a kind of Sonic Youth lite over the years. But on their latest album, 23, the band favored dream pop, a la Zero 7 or Air. In this sun baked show at the McCarren Park Pool, the band leans hard on the hyper hypnotic, and for good reason. August heat waves have a tendency to release a wash of sweat tickling down the forehead and send one into a hazy headed half euphoria. This lounge ready performance for a bulging, half naked Brooklyn crowd is just the kind of intense, dramatic, and squinty eyed moment worth standing in the middle of an empty, concr
