For the first time ever, Indie Pop Prom takes place in both Philly and NYC this year.

This stacked day of NYC shows includes Teenage Fanclub, Emily Jane White, Duchess Says, White Lung, Cymbals Eat Guitars, The Besnard Lakes, Beyonce/Blood Orange/etc, M83, Steely Dan, DJ Shadow, Bob Weir, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr. Oizo, and more.

The skronky Brooklyn band will play a release show this week with Future Punx, Pop 1280 & more, and then the three-day Summer's End Music Festival at Aviv in September.

Several NYC shows going on sale.

Pinegrove are on tour now in support of this year's Cardinal, one of the very best indie rock albums of the year. We asked frontman Evan Stephens Hall to keep a tour diary, which we'll be updating you with, along with pictures by tour photographer Carly Hoskins (whose photos you've seen on BrooklynVegan before). Here's their first installment.

Emo-tinged dream pop band Turnover are on tour now with scrappy Ohio pop punks Sports and grunge-gazers Secret Space. The tour just hit NYC for shows at Market Hotel on June 19 and Mercury Lounge on June 20...

We mentioned earlier today that Brooklyn venue Palisades is still closed and shows are moving, and that word on the sold-out Pinegrove show (6/24) was coming soon. Now we know that the show will instead happen August 6 at Market Hotel, and the support lineup will instead be Sports, Horse Jumper of Love and Half Waif (who share members with Pinegrove)...

The Fest also added Lemuria, Mean Jeans, Somos, Vacation, Iron Chic, Slingshot Dakota, PUP, RVIVR, Timeshares, Frameworks, Lifted Bells, Antarctigo Vespucci, Ian Graham, Katie Ellen, Roger Harvey, Museum Mouth, Hiccup, Amanda X, Die Choking, Sonic Avenues, Mac Sabbath, Creepoid, Sports and mannnnnny more.

Nandi Rose Plunkett's Brooklyn art pop project Half Waif are following their 2014 debut KOTEKAN with their sophomore album Probable Depths this Friday (5/6) via DZ Tapes (pre-order). We're premiering a full stream of the album, and if you're at all a fan of the type of pop artists that have a foot in the modern classical world, you should check this out. "Nest" has more than a few hints of Julia Holter, while most of the album is up a more similar alley to My Brightest Diamond/early Sufjan/etc...

Pinegrove are currently wrapping a tour with Into It. Over It., TWIABP and The Sidekicks (check out pics & review from NYC), and they just announced a massive headlining tour for the summer. It includes a run with Chicago's Topshelf-signed indie rockers Ratboys opening, and dates with Ohio indie-pop punks Sports too...
