Music Video: Dawes – Three Songs Live in NYC 7/8/2010

May 4, 2013

IMG_0833Nearly three years ago, Dawes, then touring behind their debut record played the River Rocks concert series at Pier 54 in Manhattan.  Now I’ve Heard Everything was there and published photos from that show, which you can see here.  Just a few days ago, a live video of that show, shot by the collective known as unARTigNYC surfaced.  A friend tipped me off to this, letting me know that I can be seen in the crowd a few times during the video.  Be that as it may, here is Dawes playing If I Needed Someone, Fire Away and Bedside Manner.

Music Video: Jay Stolar featuring Misty Boyce – If I Wanted Someone

April 11, 2013

Jay Stolar If I Wanted Someone

There was lots of wonderful music this past Sunday night at The Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2.  It was billed as Misty Boyce and Friends, and that’s what it was.  It was also a combination birthday party and a send off, as Misty leaves town to move to LA.  Here’s a video of Jay Stolar covering Dawes‘ If I Wanted Someone. Backing Jay on the song are Misty on piano, Zach Jones on drums, Chris Kuffner on bass and Kirk Schoenherr on guitar.  The video was taken by ruffydog, who runs the Misty Boyce fan site, Who Is Misty Boyce.

Music Video: Phosphorescent – Los Angeles (Live)

March 24, 2013

The show I saw at SXSW last week by Phosphorescent was the highlight of that festival for me, and the song Los Angeles was the highlight of that show.  Here is a well produced video of  Phosphorescent playing that song live in New York City back in the summer of 2010. You’ll notice that the guitar strap of lead singer Matthew Houck says Goldsmith on it.  That’s because Matthew’s guitar died earlier in the set and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, the opening act that night, stepped up and lent his guitar to Matthew.

Thanks to Steve Wynn for recommending this video and to unARTigNYC for producing it.


SXSW 2013: Saturday’s Box Score

March 17, 2013

Dawes at Waterloo

My last day at SXSW 2013 found me at a day party on E. 6th Street, the Austin City Limits Moody Theater and a bar catering to local students.  Here’s the recap:

Band Sounds Like
Eric Burdon Time has changed Eric’s voice; it’s not so much shot as it is different.  But it works well with his old Animals and Eric Burden and War hits as well as new songs from his forthcoming record.
Kelly Hogan Kelly sings backup with Neko Case.  This set found her fronting her own band playing Americana and alt country.  I did not find her all that compelling, and I think the reason for that was more her material than her voice.
Field Report This six piece band plays atmospheric / dream rock and Americana.  As with Kelly Hogan, I did not find them all that compelling.
Ivan and Alyosha Melodic 80s tinged rock from this five-piece band.  They had me dancing throughout their set.  Definitely a hit.
Dawes Another 30 minute set for me from Dawes.  This time they played more extended versions of their songs with guitarist Taylor Goldsmith playing some blistering solos.
True Believers The old group of Alejandro Escovedo, John Dee Graham and Javier Escovedo reconstituted for SXSW.  They played rock and punk with a three electric guitar attack and played it loud.
John Fogerty A greatest hits show, with John leading a band that had either three or four electric guitars being played on almost all of the songs.  Dawes – all of them – joined John for Someday Never Comes.
Blue Sky Riders This band is centered around the male-female harmony vocals of Kenny Loggins, Gary Burr and Georgia Middleman.  They play Americana and also more poppified songs which have a sound similar to Kenny Loggin’s hits.

SXSW 2013: Friday’s Box Score

March 16, 2013

Phosphorescent at SXSWI spent most of the day in the Austin Convention Center.  I ran from venue to venue during the evening when, with the exception of Richard Thompson, I saw bands based in New York City.  Here’s the rundown.

Band Sounds Like
Charles Bradley Classic R&B with horns.  Charles channels James Brown!
Pickwick Eclectic six piece band from Seattle with influences from all over the place, including soul and blues.
Dawes One of about a dozen shows they will be playing at SXSW.  This show found lead vocalist Taylor Goldsmith in excellent voice as the band played a mix of songs from their forthcoming album and older ones.
Vampire Weekend A quick five song set; four old songs plus a new one, Unbeliever, from their soon to be released album.  I never quite cared for this band’s home grown world music, but I really liked that new song.
Charlene Kaye Regular readers of NIHE will recognize this NYC-based musician.  Charlene played her brand of pop and rock and got an enthusiastic response from the crowd.
Phosphorescent That’s Phosphorescent in the photo above.  The woman standing next to me at this show asked me what the best show I saw at SXSW was; I told her I had to think about it.  In the middle of Phosphorescent’s second song, I told her this had to be it.  An amazing and emotional performance by the band, whose music I always think of as languid but Neil Young inspired rock.  A grand slam home run!
Richard Thompson A solo acoustic set from Richard, which included the always amazing 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. An great set and definitely a hit.
Steve Earle Another solo acoustic set.  Steve played some songs from his forthcoming album and then went back to his older stuff.  The audience was made of of his fans; whenever Steve asked for a sing-a-long, everyone knew the words immediately.  An engaging performance.

Music Video: Richard Thompson with Dawes – Calvary Cross

January 26, 2013

Leave aside for a second the fact that this video was recorded on a cruise (the now legendary Cayamo cruise).  Just settle in and watch Richard Thompson play like nobody else.  And Dawes acting as his band isn’t all that shabby either.


Music Video: Dawes – Fire Away

December 22, 2012

Here’s Fire Away, a song that is scheduled to be on the album coming from Dawes in 2013.  This live video was shot by Connecticut Public Television.

Update: This song is on the current release from the band, Nothing Is Wrong.  I was looking at a bunch of videos from Dawes early this morning and the caption from one, a song which will be on the new album, got attached to this in my mind when it should not have been.


Music Video: Joe Cocker – With A Little Help From My Friends (With Miscontrued Lyrics)

August 2, 2012

When I posted the video of With A Little Help from My Friend from Dawes last week, I mentioned that they were covering Joe Cocker‘s version of that song.  So here is the most famous performance of that song by Joe Cocker, the one at Woodstock.  Because of Joe’s decidedly indistinct singing, this video has what someone thought might be the lyrics, most of which are decidedly misconstrued.  This clip has been around the Internet for a while, but whether you’ve seen it before or not, it is well worth your time to check out.
