Illinois @ Mercury Lounge, April 12th, 2-0-0-7

Illinois is one of my favorite new bands. Ya gotta love that telephone mic. Sounds sick.

Tokyo Police Club @ Bowery Ballroom, April 6th, 2007

Tokyo Police Club is a crowd-pleaser, young and fresh. Please, take A Lesson In Crime.

Cold War Kids @ Bowery Ballroom, April 6th, 2007

Cold War Kids are a major label band. Therefore every band member must be physically attractive, and constantly moving around on stage. As for their music, let's just say they're not breaking any rules and I'm not the biggest fan. But hey, you can decide for yourself.


Here's their finale with Tokyo Police Club and Delta Spirit.

Land Of Talk @ Mercury Lounge, April 5th, 2007

Land of Talk is a gorgeous band with the right attitude. See.

Vampire Weekend @ Mercury Lounge, April 5th 2007

Vampire Weekend is a fun little live band that reminds me a little of The Clash rhythmically mixed with vocals of Voxtrot if you can imagine. You know what I mean?

Balun @ Mercury Lounge, Thursday April 5th, 2007

Balun (with an accent over the u) is good electronica from Puerto Rico. Check 'em out.
