We’ve yet to see a Sure Juror show that featured the entire band on stage at one time — guess that’s what happens when you have seven members who don’t always live in the same area. But each set we’ve seen them play has been an impressive indie-pop spectacle that’s left us wanting more. The [...]

The Isles played the last Hot Rocks Party at The Delancey. Their sometimes new-wave-inflected indie pop was a fun way to end the live portion of the night and segue into the usual late night dance party. Here are some photos of the band during their set, with more available on Flickr:

The Jaguar Club is a three-piece — wait, now a four-piece — Brooklyn band that plays New Wave-inflected, forward moving rock. The guys put on a fun and energetic show last week at Union Hall and we took some pictures, with more available on Flickr:

We first found out about Le Rug because Lisa Liu of Renminbi was playing guitar with them. So we took a listen on the old MySpace and were impressed enough to pretty much immediately ask them to play a show we were setting up, not really knowing what to expect live, but sure it would [...]

Naked Hearts are a new band that played their first show on January 30th at The Delancey. We don’t really know all that much about them except that, according to their MySpace bio, the guitarist and bassist fronting the trio have been involved in solo and group projects before this, which probably explains the confidence [...]

Renminbi played at The Delancey last week as part of the last night of Telenovela Star’s January mini-residency. The band’s impressive post-punk/post-rock sound and the energetic, driving interplay between the three musicians — guitarist, synth/keyboardist, drummer — makes for quite the live show. Here are a few photos from the show, with more available on [...]
