Eagulls

Joanna Gruesome and Andrew Sacher Joanna Gruesome at Pianos 10/16/2013 We’re in the midst of a crazy-as-usual CMJ — we’re on day 3 (10/17) — and the headaches and lack-of-sleep are already kicking in…

Okay, so we might be a little late with this announcement (and someone cancelled while I was writing this post), but we are now very excited (and relieved) to finally announce most of the lineups for our 2013 BrooklynVegan CMJ parties…

and Bill Pearis Hop Along at Saint Vitus in September (more by Vladislav Grach) Sure, NYC has a lot of great shows almost every night of the week…

Caveman at Webster Hall in April (more by Dominick Mastrangelo) As you probably know by now, CMJ starts today, and local indie pop band Caveman are doing a number of shows for it this year, and all of them (at least what’s currently announced) are free…

UK band Eagulls will be in NYC next week for CMJ and we already knew they were playing the free Kanine/SESAC day party at Pianos on October 16 and an evening showcase at Mercury Lounge on October 18 (sold out, but some badges will be accepted)…

Welsh band Joanna Gruesome released their debut album, Weird Sister, earlier this month via Slumberland. It’s a terrific record of riotous indiepop that has both jangly melodicism and sharp-fanged, bash-it-out aggression…

The U.S. Open just finished a week or so ago, but if you still need a tennis fix, might I suggest Yuck‘s new video for “Middle Sea”? In it, fro’d drummer Jonny Rogoff (looking McEnroe-esque), faces off against someone more than twice his elder and the two clearly have a rocky history…

and Andrew Sacher In the course of doing what we do here at BV, we’ve already posted a bunch of videos this week like Arcade Fire, Deerhunter, Glasser, Kanye West, Sarah Neufeld, Goldfrapp, Mates of State, Lou Doillon, and more…

Leeds, UK band Eagulls practice a brand uber-hooky, ’90s-style shout-alongs with a dose of dour ’80s post punk in there too, as can be heard on the two 7″s and one EP the group have released to date…

and Andrew Sacher Savages @ CMJ 2012 (more by Dominick Mastrangelo) SXSW gets underway today (3/13) in earnest, with 83,207 bands* playing SXSW this year…
