Photos: Mancino at The Delancey

Mancino poked their collective head out of their practice space to play at The Delancey last Tuesday. On tap were some of our favorites, as well as a few new ones that we enjoyed quite a lot and look forward to hearing again. Here are some photos of the band, with more available on Flickr:

Oh, and Ear Farm has video of a couple of the new songs available on YouTube. Watching and listening again is making us anxious for more. Check them out:

• “Crossing Guards” (with handclaps!)
• “Off And On And On” (featuring Nadim on clarinet and Jonathan on melodica)

Photos: The Secret Life Of Sofia at The Delancey

Okay, we feel a little like our reviews of The Secret Life Of Sofia’s shows have become cut and paste affairs. We say things like “they haven’t played in a while,” “perhaps the best show we’ve seen them play yet,” “really looking forward to that album they’ve been working on.” The thing is, those are phrases that pretty much always apply. Such was the case when they played at The Delancey last week. Guesting on flute was Leah Paul of The Bridesmaids and in for some keyboards and tambourine action was Nadim Issa of Mancino (who played right after TSLOS). Here are some photos from the show, with more available on Flickr:

And check out Ear Farm’s post about the show for more photos and a couple of videos.

By the way, that album they’ve been working on is something you should really be looking forward to.
