Tomorrow night, the bands are:

Peasant (Doylestown, PA): “DeRose’s vocals float above acoustic guitar melodies, evoking the lyrical eloquence and delicate arrangements of Rogue Wave and the late Elliott Smith.” - Magnet Magazine

Emanuel and the Fear (Brooklyn, NY): "The group is a brilliant new approach to the modern rock band consistently capturing the audience with beautifully, intricate scores laced with eloquent, quivering vocals." - Stranded In Stereo

Lost in the Trees (Chapel Hill, NC): "An Arcadian construction of emotional wilderness hemmed by string sections [and] strummed acoustic guitars." -The Independent

Reckless Sons Play Free Show at John Varvatos Store (former CBGB space) on Thurs, March 5th

Reckless Sons are playing a show this Thursday at the John Vervatos store on the Bowery (this is the old CBGB space). This is part of the store's Thursday Night Live series and both admission and beer (PBR) are free. You just need to RSVP to recklesssonsband@gmail.com. Doors are at 8PM and the show starts at 9PM.

Reckless Sons play high-energy rock that sort of reminds me of the early Dream Syndicate. BlackBook Magazine USA said "With his grainy voice and dirty hair, frontman Matt Butler is more Pete Doherty than Pete Wentz, and the band’s stripped-down sound makes for a good time (even if they’ve yet to knock up a Simpson). Despite their tender age (Butler is only 21, though his haunting voice and stage swagger suggest slightly more grizzling), the Sons have been rocking New York city clubs and bars”

Reckless Sons - CMJ Show, Lion's Den, Oct. 20, 2007


Reckless Sons released their latest EP, "Don't You Dare", last summer. You can check out some of these tracks along with new recordings for a forthcoming EP on the Reckless Sons' MySpace page.

Here is the video for the song "Blood" (from the "Don't You Dare" EP).

Rooftop Films Summer Series Closes Tomorrow Night with Chairlift + Free Beer

Rooftop Films Summer Series closes tomorrow night with a live set by Chairlift, highlights from the 2008 Summer Series films and an After Party at Fontanas with free beer (courtesy of Radeberger Pilsner).

In 2008, Rooftop Films screened 20 feature-length films and over 130 short films. They showed films from 33 different countries, in every imaginable genre—documentaries, narratives, animations, experimental films, music videos, home movies and more.

There were films by first-time filmmakers, and by experienced masters (including rarely-seen works by Salvadore Dali). There was an animation about a fire-fighting dog and a documentary about birds who make the skies safe for airplanes. There was a film about a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and a film about a furtive kleptomaniac.

Prior to the films, Sound Fix presents live music by Brooklyn based trio Chairlift. Having already played with Ariel Pink and MGMT, the band is revving up for an upcoming tour with Yeasayer and will release their first full-length album Does You Inspire You on October 28th. Their single "Bruises" is featured in Apple's new "nano-chromatic" ad.
