Jam of the Day – Tony Castles at the Pool Party

Yesterday, (The) Tony Castles released the video for their first single, “Black Girls in Dresses,” from the band’s forthcoming No Service EP, out September 21 on Famous Class Records. The video was directed by Jordan Fish (who also directed Das Racist’s “Rainbow in the Dark” video), and the EP was produced by Jake Aron (Jamie Lidell, Yeasayer, Chairlift).

We are really digging their sound and also wondering what went down with that watermelon Paul walks into the party with. In keeping with the “pool party” theme of the video, the band is throwing a record release party tomorrow night at Union Pool before heading out on their fall tour with Tom Tom Club. Free watermelon slices for everyone!

EV2BK Live Music – Dawes Perform “When My Time Comes” at Webster Hall

Also from last week, check out this video of Dawes performing a great live rendition of “When My Time Comes” at Webster Hall from their show with Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes at Webster Hall on July 22, 2010.

This ultimate sing-along track is from the band’s debut album, North Hills, which was released last August on ATO Records (co-founded by Dave Mathews). You can download the track free from the band’s website.

EV2BK Live Music – Bear Hands in Plazas and Squares

Bear Hands at American Eagle in Times Square

A couple weeks back, I went to go check out Bear Hands play a special show in Times Square for American Eagle and Spin Magazine, which was a little weird because I was trying to sort of rock out but that’s kind of a tall order when you find yourself standing in super-bright lights next to neatly folded and organized racks of t-shirts and chinos in various colors. But I guess if you were outside and happened to catch the performance on the jumbotron (above) on the face of the AE flagship, that probably would have been pretty dope.

What I can definitely tell you was hot was the Bear Hands show at The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza the previous week. Check out a video we recorded of the band playing the catchy-as-all-hell track “Tablasaurus,” which will appear on their forthcoming debut LP out on Cantora Records sometime this fall hopefully.

EV2BK Live Music – BRAHMS at the Convent with a Neon Indian

Recently it seems that Stereogum has been sweating a lot of the bands that we already wrote about over here at EV2BK. Another reason to come here first, I suppose. But I think they made up for it yesterday, by posting this hot remix of Neon Indian‘s “Psychic Chasms” by BRAHMS:

Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms (BRAHMS remix):

With just a simple addition of the repeated call “Oh OH oh,” Cale Parks’ voice has warmed the “terminally chill” track and turned it into a catchy pop hook. I’m feeling it, BRAHMS.

As an extra bonus, here is a video of BRAHMS performing “Another Time” at Fat Baby for the Convent store opening party, which was a pretty raucous affair (I guess that happens when they’re serving free vodka all night). The sound quality is mostly pretty good, apart from not being able to hear the guitar as loudly as we would have hoped. Sorry about that, Drew (Robinson)!

More videos from the show, including a track from Beach Fossils, are up on our YouTube Channel.

EV2BK Live Music – Bad Rabbits Hop to The Studio

Bad Rabbits are a band that you might not know simply because their name sounds like a bunch of other rabbit bands coming up right now, but once you see their live show, you won’t forget who they are. They’re playing tonight at The Studio @ Webster Hall along with Foxy Shazam and Young Veins.

The show seems to be sold out already, although I’m not sure what that means because it’s usually free Monday nights, but in case you can’t get in, here’s a video of Bad Rabbits performing “Stick Up Kids” from their show with Boy Crisis at Santos Party House back in February.
