Tonight: Six Shows With 11 Bands, You Pick ‘Em

Posted in Live NYC with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 19, 2011 by Eliot

There are almost too many good choices for music tonight.  You can head out to The Bell House in the industrial area of Gowanus in Brooklyn and hear the psychedelic pop of Robyn Hitchcock and then stick around for the second show with the folk noir of John Wesley Harding and the rock of The Minus 5.

Also in Brooklyn, but this time in Brooklyn Heights, you will find the jangly folk-rock of The Kennedys in the impressive First Unitarian Church.  Brooklyn-based jazz-rocker Debbie Deane opens the show.

Back in Manhattan,on the Lower East Side, you can check out four local musicians (Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club, Matt Cranstoun, Brian Bonz and Nick Africano) playing the early show at The Mercury Lounge.  This is also the CD release show for Matt Cranstoun‘s new one, The Last Drop of Color.

Just a few blocks away from  The Mercury Lounge you can see gritty-voiced Matthew Ryan and his band, The Red Needles, perform songs from the Matthew latest album, I Recall Standing as Though Nothing Could Fall at  The Living Room.

Finally, a few blocks uptown in The East Village you will find the rock and punk band Spanking Charlene playing what the band describes as 5th Annual Spanking Charlene Big Ass Birthday Bash in honor of Charlene’s birthday.  We have been promised horns, strings, backup singers, food, trivia contest, games, laughter, revelry and humiliations galore.  All this happens at The Lakeside Lounge.

Robyn Hitchcock (7pm, $20), John Wesley Harding and The Minus 5 (9pm, $15), The Bell House, 149 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, Brooklyn (Shuttle Bus running in place of the F or G Trains from Jay Street to 4th Avenue or R Train to 9th Street)

Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club, Matt Cranstoun, Brian Bonz, Nick Africano, Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street between Ludlow and Essex Streets (F Train to 2nd Avenue, use the 1st Avenue exit, F Train to Delancey Street or J or M Trains to Essex Street), 7pm, $10

The Kennedys and Debbie Deane, First Acoustics at First Unitarian Church, Brooklyn Heights, Pierrepont Street at Monroe Place (4, 5, N or R Trains to Court Street / Borough Hall – note that the 2 and 3 Trains will not be running to Court Street this weekend), 8pm, $30

Matthew Ryan and The Red Needles, Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street at Stanton Street (F Train to 2nd Avenue, use the 1st Avenue exit), 8pm, $10

Spanking Charlene, Lakeside Lounge, 162 Avenue B near 10th Street (any train to 14th Street or the L Train to 1st Avenue, transfer t0 the M14A or M14D bus to 11th Street and walk to Avenue B), 10pm, No Cover (but a contribution for the band is strongly encouraged)

Musician Closeup: Misty Boyce

Posted in Live NYC, Musician Closeup with tags , , , , , on August 25, 2011 by Eliot

Misty Boyce took a few months off from performing recently, which surely disappointed the audience of this Lower East Side fan favorite.  But Misty used the time to figure out what what made sense as she moves forward in her career.  Although Misty has been a much in demand side player on the New York scene, she’s letting that go for now; she’s decided to focus on her own music and the music of Clyde, the alt country/rock group that she and Nick Africano lead.

Another important part of Misty’s life is yoga.  She’s become certified as a yoga instructor and she finds this as a good way to remove stress from her world.

As a result of this refocusing, Misty is moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose.  Clyde has completed recording the band’s first album, recorded with Chris Cubeta at Galuminum Foil Studios.  Misty told me recently that record was recorded without pressure and the songs came out naturally without a lot of production.

That  relaxed feeling is carrying over.  Misty noted that “recording the new Misty Boyce record is so much more relaxed” than the sessions for her first album.  This new album will feature songs that she’s already been performing.  And, Misty added, those recent songs have been written “from a happy place.”

Although Misty was referring to her state of mind, she could have been referring to her relationship with New York City as well.  Although New York was at first off putting to this native of Las Cruces, a town of 80,000 located in the middle of the desert in New Mexico.  But having found several communities of people with interests similar to hers, Misty has made her peace with The Big Apple.

Misty Boyce and Nick Africano will be performing individual sets at The Rock Shop on Sept. 7th.
