EV2BK’s CMJ 2010 Selections – Tuesday, October 19

Well it’s that time of year again when the CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival takes over downtown NYC and Brooklyn for a week of official showcases and boatloads more unofficial parties/DJ sets/booze giveaways featuring around 1,200 bands from all over the country and world.

Jam of the Day – Wolf Gang Back to Back in NYC

After playing their first NYC show last night at Santos Party House, London’s own Wolf Gang is hitting the stage again tonight at Glasslands. Front man Max McElligott was playing acoustic solo gigs as Wolf Gang for a while before forming the band a little over a year ago. McElligott describes their sound as “70s pop” with references to everyone from Talking Heads to David Bowie. Wolf Gang plays regularly around London and are touring here in the states in advance of the forthcoming debut full-length. It’s out November 22nd on Atlantic, and you can check out the first single “Lions in Cages” here. If you like what you hear, we’ll see you at the show tonight.

Aussie BBQ Tomorrow Night

We hope you don’t have any plans for tomorrow because the Aussie BBQ will be in full swing at The Bell House in Brooklyn. The showcase features a musically diverse collection of artists who all call Australia home. The Aussie BBQ has grown to be a major showcase at SXSW and last year branched out to include shows in Los Angeles and New York for the first time. The lineup is extensive so here are the acts you shouldn’t miss:

The dreamy, melodic sounds of Crayon Fields will be early in the evening. This young band has and artful pop sound and has been getting a lot of attention on the airwaves in Australia.

Oh Mercy could have poached their name from Bob Dylan’s 26th studio album, released in the late eighties, right around the time that the band’s members were probably born. There is something simple and compelling about their sound that could be great live.

Love Of Diagrams is a surf-pop punk band that is supposed to have a great, energetic live show. They are set to play more NYC shows this spring at Santos Party House and as part of a Death by Audio showcase.

Sherlock’s Daughter seem to be Australia’s answer to The Dirty Projectors. Last year they won the 2009 Sydney Music Arts & Culture award for ‘Next Big Thing’ and I think that we’re sure to hear a lot more from them state-side very soon. They’re my pick to steal the show.

Sherlock’s Daughter – Song For Old People:

Thursday, March 25th
The Bell House
149 7th St., Brooklyn, NY
21+, tickets $15
6 PM – 1 AM
FREE AUSTRALIAN STYLE BBQ

Jam of the Day – Birthday Edition

Here at EV2BK, we’re big fans of birthdays, holidays, general revelry, and celebration. As luck would have it, one of our founding members is celebrating his birthday today. To commemorate the occasion, today’s jam comes to you from Crystal Antlers. This California band first became well-known in 2008 after they self-released their first EP. To support the release, the group toured extensively and they signed with Touch and Go Records that same year. Tentacles, their full-length, was released by Touch and Go last April and they have a big European tour planned for this spring to promote the album. One of my favorite tracks off of the album, “Andrew,” has a rough, bluesy vibe that gets better with every listen.

Happy Birthday Drew!
