The new experimental New York scene
 

I'm really into that new experimental New York Scene these times... I already know Liars, Gang Gang Dance, Animal Collective, TV on the Radio, Celebration, Excepter, Double Leopards, Dragons of Zynth, !!! (in a sense...), The Double, First Nation, Black Dice... Any other band to tell me ?

go out and but "kill your idols" on dvd. it rules big time. one of the better documentaries ever released on any subject anywhere ever...

trust me!

new tv on the radio album is poor i thought, not a patch on the first one.

My DVD player does not read zone 1 :(

its region 1 alright, just checked. ive got a multiregion player..... got my copy yesterday from the states! but it is being released in europe by christmas i believe

I'll check for it...

About the new TV on the Radio album, I don't think it's as weak as everybody tell it is... I really love it, not as much as the first, but almost... I Was A Lover et Blues From Down Here are fantastic

i suppose its harsh for me to judge on just one listen. only got it the other day! im gonna stick it in the car in the morning and let it flow from there!

Hello Everyone!


This documentary looks killer, could someone tell me where could I download that? I have a soulseek account and an emule one but no one seems to have it there. I would be very grateful if someone could give me some clue or link for that


Cheers!!

P.S: I'm spanish and in here it's impossible to find it in any shop

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, new scene alert!! new scene alert!!

hey, español, pidelo por internet.

I like I was a lover and wolf like me.

that's stupid, most of those bands don't even play together.

but other ny bands: orthrelm, no-neck blues band, magik markers, early man, fireball.

I like those three Brooklyn bands. TV on the Radio is so-so. There is no "new New York scene" though although there is a bit of a thing going on in Brooklyn. New York City music has been dead as a doornail as far as a real deal for a ridiculous number of years, but yeah, momentum has been building for a few years now.
Magik Markers...I can fart out better shit than that if my guitar is tuned similarly.

yeah, magik markers suck; it's been said. seems most people have traded them for be your own pet.

these days, everything "experimental" is in brooklyn. or just a lot of noise shit that you probably don't care for. magik markers and hella are not from ny.

prurient is from ny, carlos giffoni too.

williamsburg sucks.

I haven't been able to find it either.

its just out this wek in the states and before christmas in europe...

trading magik markers for byop. a bit like trading radiohead for coldplay. magik markers arent nyc although base themselves there. granted they arent the most technically gifted people in the world and maybe thats why i like em. every listen is a challenge, its fresh and different.... thats my defence of the mms, granted i know i am becoming a member of an ever dwindling minority of mm fans here, maybe i dont wanna grow up!

There is too a "New New York Scene"

Well, there will be:

hahahaha, those bands will open for sonic youth's heads at madison cube garden.

well i'm moving there in just over a month so i guess i'll be right in the middle of it.

Orthrelm are from DC.....unless they recently set up shop there.

I also like them, not sure why......maybe cause they are so obnoxious and punx

I think Mick lives in D.C. and Josh moved to NY maybe?

Maybe....I'm really not sure. Either way they rule. I haven't seen them in a few years.

ahlzagailzehguh, halflings, yellow tears, ffh, prurient, carlos giffoni, i'm actually surprised there isn't alot more going on in new york.

yes, that's it. mick would go to brooklyn to rehearse with josh.

i miss orthrelm.

First Nation are the worst band I have ever seen live. They could hardly play their instruments. There were people heckling them and I didn't even feel bad for them because if I was that piss poor I'd expect people to heckle me too.

almost every band listed on this thread sucks. almost.

i blame rudy guilliani.

note i said almost.

liars arent even a ny band anymore, they moved back to la and record in berlin. gang gang dance is pretentious and dumb, i liked them for a week. animal collective is amazing. tv on the radio has made some really pretty pop songs and good vocals and good production, so they get an a ok in my book. excepter is lame and so are all those other bands.
