Between last week's fire and scaffolding mishap near ground zero, the Big Apple has been experiencing some bad luck as of late. But you don't have to worry about any of this in the vLES-we've managed to pull together yet another outstanding ear feast. And you better pull out those old Pulp albums, because on Thursday September 6th we're bringing you a steaming mouthful of Jarvis Cocker.
Panthers specialize in concise, catchy, barn-burning rock songs that will make you want to get up from your comfy chair and roll around on the floor. Journalists have described their music as "groundbreaking dissonant hardcore with Rolling Stones swagger," but most music journalists are failed musicians who couldn't hold a beat on a triangle so you'll really have to catch Panthers for yourself to find out what you've been missing tonight at virtual Cake Shop.
Just because these guys do the whole no-capital-letters thing in their name doesn't mean they're sickeningly pretentious. On the contrary, this duo spits out laidback, trance-induced soundscapes with strange, colliding chants that might leave you so engrossed you'll be staring at your shoes. See telepathe tonight at virtual Pianos.
Chk Chk Chk. Ding Dong Dangle. Orangutan Anal Anniversary. However you decide to pronounce this band's name is OK by them. What's not OK is standing still at one of its shows, especially the one tonight at virtual Bowery. We're willing to bet you a bottle cap that it's impossible not to dance like a severed lizard tail until your legs give out or you have a heart attack�whichever comes first.
Between last week's
