admin — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:04:07 +0000

http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=1923 Are you in NYC tonight? Want two tickets to see Chief? Pay attention. Spacey Tracy’s favorite band is playing tonight in New York City, and if you want two tickets to see them, do this: Email (yes, we know it’s actually Wednesday) with the subject line Chief, along with your full name, email, and phone number. We’ll [...]

Almack’s Presents… NickyDigital.com

Ultragrrrl — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:34:28 +0000

We love our buddy NickyDigital so much that we gave him his own feature. Every few days we’ll feature something music related that he put up on his site. It’s fun to share things that friends are up to. Nicky went to see Duran Duran with the rest of the Lower East Side and got this [...]

Catherine Wheel/Rob Dickenson, Mercury Lounge, NYC. June 23, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:08:06 +0000

Rob Dickenson, the singer of the incredibly famous 80s band, Catherine Wheel, is back on tour. He looks a bit older but his voice is fucking incredible. I got some video that I’ll try to post later, but in the meantime, here’s photos: more after the jump…

Nightmare of You and Edison Glass, Temple Beth Am, Merrick, LI. June 21, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:01:36 +0000

I guess it’s no secret that I love Nightmare of You. I hadn’t been able to see any of their shows on The Bang Tour with Edison Glass, so I trekked all the way to Long Island to see the bands play at Temple Beth-Am. It’s very weird to me to go to Shul on [...]

The Futureheads, Pianos, NYC. June 18, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:22:06 +0000

The Futureheads played a secret show for BrooklynVegan’s Rock’n'ROFL at Pianos. Only about 100 lucky people got to go, and I was one of them! My favorite parts were when one of the supremely drunken audience members jumped on stage to take over the mic and scream some jibberish, and when Ross from FH asked an [...]

The Young Knives, Mercury Lounge, NYC. June 9, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:11:49 +0000

Even if the Young Knives sucked (which they most certainly don’t) I would go see them for the in-between song banter alone. The brothers, Henry Dartnall and House of Lords, appear to hate each other and find the stage a prime time to point out the flaws of the other in ways that basically shock [...]

The Futureheads, Chief, Bowery Ballroom, NYC. June 17, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:53:10 +0000

I love love LOVE the Futureheads. They remind me of bands that I would’ve discovered while going through my older brother’s vinyl collection, sandwiched between his Jam and Clash records. Their new single, “The Beginning of the Twist” can be downloaded for free (and legally) here. Their live show is filled with a ton of [...]

Ludo, Irving Plaza, NYC. June 11, 2008

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:14:00 +0000

Ludo are one of the bands I would least likely be suspected of liking. Their music is a quirky mix of They Might Be Giants meets Liam Lynch. Now, I know that Liam Lynch is like the most obscure reference I could pull out of my ass, but much like Lynch, you really never know [...]

Apache Beat, Misshapes at Santos Party House, NYC. June 7th, 2008.

Ultragrrrl — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:59:51 +0000

Sorry for the horrific delay in back posts… I’ve been busy with my new job/company at an actual office, so I sometimes can’t update as often as I’d like. But that’s going to change, I can promise you that. Here’s photos of Apache Beat that I took at MisShapes on June 7th. They were a great [...]

Redbull & Adderall: Your Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

Ultragrrrl — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:00:48 +0000

Weezer cover Radiohead’s Creep, live in Portland from Dave Allen on Vimeo. I stole the above video from my new favorite blog: Hipster Runoff. A bunch of bands posted new songs on their myspace: The Verve - “Love is Noise” The Bronx - “Knifeman” Lily Allen - “Guess Who Batman?” The winners of Radiohead’s animation contest are up on their myspace. Jinners [...]
