Can't Miss Indie Rock Shows Coming Up In New York City by Johnny Moon
Scumbo on February 23rd at Freddy's Backroom in Brooklyn. Another Brooklyn based psychedelic band. Scumbo will be putting on their much talked about insane live show at Freddy's which is one of the coolest small venues in Brooklyn. Come see (if you can) why they are called "The Hardest Band To See In The Dark."
Of Montreal on March 9th and March 10th at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. Of Montreal are one of the bands to emerge from the Elephant 6 collective. While they are not as out there as The Olivia Tremor Control and certainly don't pack the emotional punch of Neutral Milk Hotel they are certainly an interesting band and they are touring in support of their latest album "Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?" Visit Of Montreal on MySpace.The Appleseed Cast on March 17th at the Knitting Factory in Manhattan. The Appleseed Cast were "emo" before every kid on MySpace. Then they listened to Kid A and started getting weird (and much better.) Their Low Level Owl albums are the ones to get.
The Decemberists on March 21st and March 22nd at Landmark Loews Theater in Manhattan. The Decemberists latest album was a big step forward in my opinion. They have a tendency to get very "samey" with too many listens but their latest album The Crane Wife showed that they are starting to get a bit more interesting. I'm curious to see what they do next. (they have their whole album "The Crane Wife" available to be heard on MySpace currently.)
Sebadoh on March 31st at Webster Hall in Manhattan. Sebadoh are among the forefathers of modern "indie rock." This is a bit of a reunion tour for them as they haven't released a new album since 1999. Sebadoh frontman Lou Barlow other projects have included being the bass player for Dinosaur Jr. and fronting The Folk Implosion.
