I really like this line-up.  From front to back, we have a nice mix of hard & soft, rock & folk, some original sounds.  I think it's nice representation of NYC's music scene as it is today at the local clubs.

Check out who's featured on this week's show:

Thursday, August 16:  Moon Rabbits bring their (what I think is) early punk sound to Pianos.

Friday, August 17:  Mellow out with Slim Francis at Club Midway's early show.  They have a nice soul, almost country vibe.

Saturday, August 18:  We've got a smorgasboard of live acts for you.  Woods plays Cake Shop with some folk-driven sounds (with some synth too?  Interesting combo.)  I Love You Airlines was featured first on Show 46.  They're gonna shake that basement up at Lit Lounge.  Finally, Club Midway's late show for the night includes a group of guys from Glasgow in a band called Terra Diablo (think Oasis minus the whiny voice, when they have balls).  They aren't on the podcast, but check out Mystery Hangup.  What a great rock & roll band.

enjoy!

Yo, yo, yo!!!  Back again with some more great live bands here in downtown New York.  Here's the taste you get on this week's podcast:

Thursday, Feb. 22:  Check out Cock Lorge at Fat Baby.  Pornographic songs that don't take themselves seriously and with great melodies. 

Friday, Feb. 23:  The Picture plays Sin-e.  If you haven't heard, it's official that Sin-e's days are numbered, so take advantage of some great live tunes here before it's too late.

Saturday, Feb. 24:  The band I Love You Airlines at The Annex for the weekly tiswas party.  Nice pop tunes with a touch of electronic to it.

Plus, a little nugget from Seizure 17.  Don't know what you call it (grunge? punk?), but it's cool.  Check out those lyrics!  Saw them recently, and it was some good stuff.
