EULA Returns to NYC for a Show at Cake Shop on May 10th

DOWNLOAD: EULA - "Dirty Hands" (Live at Bruar Falls, Brooklyn 4/16/11)

Due to curfew regulations, EULA played a shortened set at Bruar Falls last month but the band is coming back through for a show at Cake Shop this Tuesday (May 10th) with The Everymen. Cover is $5 and this is an early show that starts at 9PM.

EULA has a new 10-track disc Maurice Narcisse and the new material sounds great. Check out QRO Magazine's in-depth review of the new disc. Below is the video for the first single, "Texas Stampede".

A live recording of the track "Dirty Hands" (from Maurice Narcisse) is posted above. Based on the show at Bruar Falls, the band's sound has moved past the 'Sonic Youth-like' free-form dissonance to a much more targeted attack that is close in spirit to bands like Gang of 4 (EULA covered "To Hell With Poverty" at the show) and Big Black.

Miles Jones Plays Free Record Release Show Tomorrow, May 5th, at Panda Bar

Again by MilesJones

Canadian producer / hip-hop artist Miles Jones is playing a free record release show tomorrow night to celebrate the US release of his second studio disc Runaway Jones, which is already getting great reviews. NowToronto.com said that this disc "demonstrates what a breakout hip-hop album should sound like. Jones'...unique voice and delivery make him one to watch in coming months."

Pandasonic is putting on a Cinco de Mayo fiesta of epic proportions, celebrating the worldwide release of Miles Jones' full-length album Runaway Jones (Just Released May 26th via Mojo Records & Publishing / URBNET / MB3 Records/EMI). Miles will perform at 9 with special guest DJ Yale Fox, followed by resident DJ Tenessee. Panda Bar (139 Chrystie Street) is hosting the soiree – FREE ADMISSION all night long and tequila specials throughout Happy Hour 4-9pm! Plus, no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without a piñata.



Hailing from a long line of reputable musicians, Miles’ grandfather Headly Jones Sr. from Jamaica started Studio and was arguably the first to invent the electric guitar. His father Headly Jones Jr aka Deadly Headly was a DJ on CFNY and an early Toronto Club DJ pioneer. Miles went on to create a unique sound that honors the true origins of hip-hop and collaborate with A-list industry including Percee P, Detroit-based producer Black Milk, and most recently, Grammy award-winning producer Boi 1da. Miles has been the recipient of distinguished awards from the Billboard World Song Contest for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2010) and the Independent Music Awards for “Hip Hop Song of the Year” (2009) and "Hip Hop Artist of the Year" (2007). His music has been featured on major networks and hit television programs including CBS’ CSI: Las Vegas and the 2010 Winter Olympics. Most recently, Miles' Boi 1da-produced single "Never Wrong" was nominated as a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition.

EULA: Live Download and Photos from Show at Bruar Falls on 4/16/11

DOWNLOAD: EULA - "Dirty Hands" (Live at Bruar Falls, Brooklyn 4/16/11)

I wasn't previously aware that Bruar Falls had a hard curfew at Midnight (on Saturday night, no loss) so New Haven, CT art-punk band EULA played a blistering but abbreviated set at their record release show last Saturday.

The band has a new 10-track disc Maurice Narcisse and the new material sounded great live. A live version of the track "Dirty Hands" (from the new CD) is posted above. It has been a little while since I've seen EULA play live and Aylse's guitar work seems to have gotten more angular and jagged and the bass and drums rumble aggressively like a pile driver. All-in-all, the band's sound has moved past the 'Sonic Youth-like' free-form dissonance to a much more targeted attack that is close in spirit to bands like Gang of 4 (EULA covered "To Hell With Poverty" at the show) and Big Black.

Check out QRO Magazine's in-depth review of Maurice Narcisse. Below is the video for the first single from the new disc, "Texas Stampede".



EULA has a number of upcoming area shows over the next few months:

May 10th - Cake Shop, NYC (with Sarin McHugh & the Everymen)

June 3rd - Bruar Falls, Brooklyn (with Ben Franklin)

June 4th - Hillstock Music Festival, Brooklyn (Emerson Place & Myrtle Avenue)

June 21st - Spike Hill, Brooklyn

EULA Plays Record Release Show at Bruar Falls on Saturday, April 16th

New Haven, CT art-punk band EULA is playing a record release show next Saturday at Bruar Falls for their new 10-track disc Maurice Narcisse which comes out on April 26th.

I've been a huge fan of EULA since catching their live show at Crash Mansion a few year back and the band has been winning over fans with frequent trips to NYC. Young & Pretty Blog recently posted an exclusive interview with vocalist Alyse Lamb and described the band as "EULA, a trio from New Haven, CT, in addition to Lamb, consists of: Jeff Maleri (bass, vocals) and Nate Rose (drums, vocals). Their sound is sexy, rough, and wild. Onstage, they are full of vigor; like a teenage garage band playing louder after their mom yells at them to unplug!"

EULA's record release show is next Saturday at Bruar Falls and sharing the bill are Pow Wow, Ghost Bunny and Shark?. Cover is $6 and the show starts at 8PM.
