Brand New: Music Hall Of Williamsburg 07.11.09

Music Hall of Williamsburg is a rather small venue for a band like Brand New, and as our very own Mitch will tell you it sold out in minutes. There was a 2 ticket limit and a will call only policy on the show to prevent people from selling tickets for ridiculous prices.

The first half of their 90 minutes ish show was mostly songs off of Your Favorite Weapon and Deja Entendu. Then they played a few songs of their upcoming album Daisy which will hit the US on September 22nd. On first listen I definitely liked it, kind of in the vein of God And The Devil Are Raging Inside Me but a little heavier.

They finished the show with "Soco Amaretto Lime" and the whole place was singing along. A great show and I know a lot of you missed it but they will be playing Nassau Coliseum with Glassjaw on November 27th so keep you eyes and ears out for ticket info. I will also have an exclusive video up of them playing a song off of Daisy so check back tomorrow!

Feature Band: Point Juncture, WA

So who were the openers for The Thermals show? Point Juncture, WA was one of them (pronounced Point Juncture Washington), and they were great. This band is from Portland Oregon and is made up of different members or other bands in the Portland scene. The main singer plays keys and sometimes trumpet, but the other 3 members rotate instruments depending on the song. It's always impressive to see people play drums and sing at the same time. I really enjoy the drumming in their songs, the rhythms are really cool and it serves as a great foundation for the other parts to ride over. Anyway, go check them out on their myspace page.

Highlark Was There: The Thermals at Bowery Ballroom 05/09/09

So I went to Bowery Ballroom on Saturday to check out The Thermals. They were great and I had a lot of fun. Here is a live video for their song "We Were Sick" which I took on my camera... it's kind of crappy but the audio is pretty good I think. Check out our YouTube Channel for the live video of The Thermals performing "Now We Can See."

Highlark Was There: Alkaline Trio, Saves The Day - Starland Ballroom 4/25/09

This is a first, hopefully of many photo-blogs from shows that we go to. I haven't been to a show in a while and this was kind of a great kick-off as we head into summer. It brought me back to almost 10 years ago when I first started listening to these two bands. Goodchild and Panda Bear were there also! Good times.
