Okay, so Gold Streets has played something like 100 shows we’ve booked in the last six months. What’s up with that, huh? Well, it’s because they’re good. That simple. We’ve been saying so for a while now. Here’s one of our favorite videos of them:
“Hello Image”

Gold Streets will be playing at the StereoactiveNYC/Hot Rocks Party [...]

You may have noticed A Place To Bury Strangers has been getting a lot of attention lately. Pitchfork gave their new album a glowing review and has been featuring the band pretty regularly since. So, of course, the blogging community at large started to really take notice. Really, it was about time. We’ve been [...]

The Secret Life Of Sofia is a band we’ve been following since its inception. They started out strong and have only gotten better over the short two to three years of their existence. Anyone who happened to see them, say, a year or two ago, then again in just the last few months may have [...]

Few bands could pull off a song apparently about cartoon characters dropping anvils on each other in such rocking fashion. Yet another reason Mancino is so impressive. The dexterity they exhibit in making the light and absurd somewhat dark and brooding and the dark and brooding somewhat light and absurd is a truly rare thing. [...]

There’s something about this song that we feel particularly showcases the band’s strengths — with its dynamic build, dramatic swells, and a perfect low-key, yet quietly intense, resolution.

Two more videos today of Mancino at Pianos:
“Circus Scabs”

“Hetchie Hutchie Footchie”

Back in May we went on about a show at Pianos that was especially good. Great bands all night. And all of them on top of their game with great sound and energy. Even the crowd, perhaps aware that they were at a particularly good show, seemed to be in top form. Looking back, it [...]

And here’s one more video of Gold Streets at the July Hot Rocks Party for you to enjoy before seeing them live with Man In Gray as part of the StereoactiveNYC Roadshow. They’re at Union Hall tomorrow night, then in Virginia and North Caroline over the following few days.

Here’s one more live video of Man In Gray from their CD release show at Union Hall in June. The band will be back at Union Hall on Wednesday with Gold Streets and She Keeps Bees, before hitting the road for a few dates with Gold Streets. More info here.
Update:
There are now two live mp3s [...]

“Lost In Boredom” is probably The Art Of Shooting’s signature song. And for good reason — it’s damn good. And while we know bands often get tired of playing those songs that everyone knows them for, we’ve yet to hear this song live and not been impressed by it.
The band recently began recording a new [...]
