PICK OF THE WEEK
MARNIE STERN @ Echoplex
Good stretch for ladies that rock coming up here with Marnie, M.I.A., The Slits, even Victoria Williams, all in town this week. Ms. Stern gets the nod for her great arty rock tunes executed with mind blowing virtuosity all over her Jazzmaster’s fretboard. Some kind of genius, now backed by a full band.

Tommie, I’m with you about the Ed Bangers show last night. I don’t think I can put into words just how crazy it was. Nonstop energy they whole night.

Was the ed banger party as crazy as their after party for coachella, when peaches came out? and mstrkrft? because that was crazy. I lost my necklace at that one
Thank you Tommie for the heads up by far the best summer party ever, it just gets better and better from ed banger and to valerie that afterparty was the shit, I was up in the front for the afterparty til I couldn’t take it no more its a toss up afterparty was best party ever for spring and the viper room was the best party of summer but I don’t know how it will be when ed banger just keeps blowing up and probably going to bigger venues fuck it feels good to be up in it when they play smalls places
That Sonic Youth show was a farce. The same thing happened at CIA a different week with The White Stripes supposedly having a “secret show” there too. =P
Oscar, Sorry about the info on the fake Sonic Youth show.

Still realing from the Ed banger show at The Viper room last month. The afterparty was even more off the chain. I looked for bootlegs of the set but found it streaming on
