post-show: still smitten with kyp. he was great. funny and personable and best alone on stage (esp. with howler monkey backup chick with them? yeesh) AND anti-pop consortium killed it. they were so good. i kind of felt bad for them, though; sitting at shows is weird which is the one reason i’m not more of a fan of seeing concerts like that at bam, and it must be double weird for a bunch of rappers up on stage to be performing in front of an awkwardly seated audience. no matter, though, their energy was great and it made me like the new album even more.

The above review is of Rain Machine‘s Satureday night (January 30th) Sounds Like Brooklyn show at BAM’s Howard Gilman Opera House with Anti-Pop Consortium. Les Savy Fav and Vivian Girls kicked off the fest (which has shows through February 6th) at the venue the night before (1/29).

Kyp & Co. recently stopped by Daytrotter to play song’s off the Rain Machine debut, which came out on Anti- in September.

Though Kyp and the rest of TV on the Radio are still taking a break, Iran, a group fronted by filmmaker Aaron Aites that sometimes includes Kyp, has an upcoming show. They’ll be playing at Knitting Factory on Thursday, March 11th with Arbouretum. Tickets are on sale.
