tanlines, keepaway and more at glasslands.

Glasslands should be a good option for Friday night. Tanlines and Keepaway each have a distinctly unique sound and the venue is pretty cool. I wrote them up at Eardrum so you can read that here. Here are some tracks from the groups that are playing.

Tanlines - Real Life

Tanlines - Bees

Tanlines - Reinfo

Keepaway - Yellow Wings

Keepaway - 5 Rings

Memoryhouse - The Waves

Light Pollution - All Night Outside

small black and keepaway at brooklyn bowl.

Small Black and Keepaway are playing Brooklyn Bowl this Saturday, February 6th.  Small Black took Brooklyn by storm last year with their lo-fi loops and enveloping vocal harmonies.  Unlike other lo-fi acts, Small Black inserts beautiful flowing melodies into their songs, making their music catchy and easy to listen to without losing the scratchy, casio keyboard, broken mic quality.  Though Small Black is technically a duo, they will adapt their music to the live setting with drums, bass and guitar to their keyboards.  I've been dying to see these guys and now I finally have the opportunity (and so do you).

Keepaway is another Brooklyn act that is getting a fair amount of attention locally and nationally.  Their sound could be described as a band's take on Animal Collective.  Keepaway achieves a shoegaze quality with huge reverb on guitars and vocals while switching between live and electronic drum sounds.  Pitchfork has made their song Yellow Wings one of their favorite new tracks.

Doors at 6pm. $5, 21+.  Get your tickets here now because this show will likely sell out.

Here are a few tracks...

Small Black - Despicable Dogs
Small Black - Weird Machines
Keepaway - Yellow Wings

Love,
