For the second week of the Headless Horeseman residency at Pianos this month, Greedhead Entertainment and PopGun Booking really present a great lineup, probably the best of the three week residency. Apart from HDLSS, ambient pop darlings (The) Tony Castles will perform with MBAR and up and coming force Slam Donahue (don’t miss them, they play early but will be worth it), with a DJ set from BRAHMS.
As a preview, here’s a video of the opening band, Slam Donahue, performing at Cake Shop a couple weeks ago. They play at 8, so come to the show early and get down on the dance floor!

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger was formed in 2008 by Sean Lennon and his girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Recently, they have been touring on the west coast and have performed their single “Jardin du Luxemborg” on Conan and Jimmy Fallon. Their latest album Acoustic Sessions, released in late October 2010 through their own label, Chimera Music, has a soft and dreamy 60s folk sound. Lennon’s familiar vocal lilt may, as the song says, inspire you to “Put on your new pants and move out to France.” In an interview with the LA Times, the duo explained “Our music is an extension of our relationship. The stuff we create is just a glimpse of an ongoing conversation between us.”
Sean Lennon is performing tonight at the East Village non-profit performance space The Stone in “Consortium Musicum” with Greg Saunier of Deerhoof.
