NYC - many awesome upcoming SHOWS

i won't be here for most of these (going back to providence for summer), but still, excellent work.

despite all that was wrong, I still miss The Cooler.

There's a UK band called Tarantism already, made up entirely of Hawkwind roadies. Beat that, yanks.

But from what I've been hearing from Russ, this summer (my last in NYC, god willing) should be fun as hell, show-wise. Some of those line-ups might just get me to leave my house for a change.

Roger - I feel the exact same way re: The Cooler's free Monday night series. I saw so many amazing shows there. also, as of today, I'm trying to get the Fieldhands to play at Lit!

here's yet another show...my group Watersports was asked by Aaron Rosenblum (Son Of Earth, The Believers, etc) to collaborate next Tuesday. We play first on a bill with Fear And Trembling and one other:

Super-psyched for the Tommy's show. Ian, you gonna be around for that?

Awesome.

Just to clarify - the BunnyBrains playing next week is the BunnyBrains led by Bobby, not Dan.

Cause Co-Motion (http://www.causecomotion.com)
One Long Lash (erica bricking (ex-drinking woman), tim barnes (silver jews, jim o'rourke, neil hagerty, etc.) duo)
The U-Bolts

You know Cause Co-Motion, New York’s most loved band of misanthropic rock sounds. The kids love them, you love them, come out and see them so you can say you saw them when.

Onelonglash is the new duo of husband-and-wife Erica Bricking and Tim Barnes. Discerning Louisville-o-philes know Erica from her stint in the legendary Drinking Woman, which also featured Tara Jane O’Neil (Rodan, Retsin, The Sonora Pine, Tara Jane O’Neil solo, etc.). Discerning indie-o-philes know Tim Barnes from his work behind the kit for Silver Jews, Jim O’Rourke, Neil Hagerty, Tower Recordings – and most recently with PG6 opening for SLINT. Also, he is quite the man about town in the improv scene, having played with damn near every one who’s anyone.

The U-Bolts are a brand-new band on the NY scene, nice and heavy, yet with supple guitar lines reminiscent of some bands that the Strokes don’t sound anything like.

JUST ADDED - Tuesday, March 29 – 9 PM, $5

Guilty Connector (Japan)
Kelly Churko
The Maestros
Sickness

GUILTY CONNECTOR: A hybrid human/noise-machine that creates noise-scapes of unfathomed depths. Banging hand-made noise generators aka "SHIBAKI Electronics" made of iron plates, he creates and liberates dazzling spectra of sounds, from ultra-fast extreme harsh barrages to meditative spacy sounds. Experience the roar of his live electronics with your own flesh.

Kelly Churko (MacIntosh G4, Kenaxis software) - Born in Moose Jaw, Canada, August 18th, 1977. Studied classical piano and traveled around Canada with the family band in childhood. Majored in jazz studies on guitar at Vancouver Community College 1994-1997. Currently based in Tokyo, Japan. Also a member of avant-jazz group Almost Transparent Blue and noise unit Hospital, both based in Vancouver, Canada. He has toured in Europe, Japan and the United States.

Sickness just played Siberia last week with Spencer Yeh/Pete Nolan, Hive Mind, the Seven Arts, Peter Kolovos and Jason Crumer – and he slayed. Don’t miss him again, dorks!

For a sec I thought that was an upcoming 2015 list, and I thought, cool Sonny Rollins' health has improved and he's gonna play this summer. Oh well. Feel better Sonny.

I am sure there's plenty to do in 2015. I want the Dig Deeper old-school soul promoters in Brooklyn to bring shows down to my neck of the woods in DC, plus some of those Summerstage international gigs
