Vanishing Point presents... Tonight(4/4) at Public Assembly

4.4.09

VANISHING POINT PRESENTS:

AUDN (midnight)
www.myspace.com/audnmusic
Brooklyn-based quintet Audn combines the swirling layers of early shoegaze sound with ringing psychedelic guitars, intricate Kraut-rock-inspired textures and a Madchester sensibility. With intertwining guitar and vocal melodies, shifting rhythms, Audn's spacey shoegaze is dreamy but focused.

SOFT (11pm)
www.myspace.com/soft
Taking the psychedelic pop of Manchester's finest, The Stone Roses, as a starting point, and incorporating the lush atmospherics favored by the shoegazers who supplanted them in the early 90's, Soft has condensed a five year era of British music into one seamless, signature sound.

SOREN WELL (10 pm)
www.myspace.com/sorenwellnoise
Maybe Soren Well feels like falling out of the sky a into that place where those babes serve xanax cupcakes on ice skates and bite your ear but it feels good instead of hurting or feeling bad.

TELLTALE (9 pm)
www.myspace.com/telltalemusic
"Telltale’s thick, reverb-soaked post-punk doesn’t so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth-inspired caterwauls and Jesus and Mary Chain-esque walls of sound. This will destroy you, reader, and you will love every second of it" - Free Times (Columbia, SC).

ASTRID PIERCE (8 pm)
www.myspace.com/astridpierce
Born in the jungles of West Bengal and on the banks of Wisconsin, these individuals found homes in New York City and brought their musical influences together to form a uniquely powerful pop-rock band.

DJ set by ELIKA
www.myspace.com/elikamusic

Sat, April 4th @ Public Assembly (Back Room)
8 pm/ $8 / 21+

$3 well vodka drinks till 10 pm.

Elika - Let Down


Fantastic 2nd video from the excellent Trying Got Us Nowhere album. directed again by Will Joines.

Elika plays the Club NME showcase which i assume is still at the Annex on January 8th and Monkeytown on February 5th

big weekend at Vanishing Point Dec 19 and 20

18.12.08

On friday it's The Soundscapes(last minute addition)28 Degrees Taurus, Dead leaf Echo and Her Vanished Grace.
The Sounscapes kill it, that's all i have to say and that's all you need to know. they rule. i've seen 28 degrees once at pianos back in March. i was quite entertained for the first 20 minutes but they played a bit to long for my taste and i forgot about the tunes i liked. lots of good energy though. DLE are favorites round these parts and never fail to impress. 2009 should be their year. Her Vanished Grace is and old school LMG favorite. we did one of our first shows with them way back when. also a good time and they pump out the albums like no one i know. solid band, totally worth showing up early for.



On Saturday it's Project Skyward, The Invisible Kid, and Screen Vinyl Image and Brian from Elika DJing.
Project Skywards' return to the live scene the last few months has been going quite well. with an entirely new line up; new singer and guitarist, they've been working out some material for a new album. things are looking bright after quite some time away. The Invisible Kid (aka The Danimal to those who know him well) rocks it hard, with his Ride-esqe guitar and his big Madchester beats. always a crowd pleaser. SVI, what can you about them, they're "a little loud" like Jesus got "a little crucified".(brightestyoungthings.com) Jake and Kim are about the raddest people we know. always loud, always good.

SVI also have a record coming out early next year called...

you can preview it here


should be a hell of a weekend...
and of course this all takes place at Vanishing Point

May 5th

22.4.07

The third loft party is in two weeks and it should be the best by far.

the bands...

Auburn Lull- A huge favorite of the LMG collective. their first show in New York in years. not to be missed.

Soundpool- What else can we say, always a crowd pleaser.

Autumn Thieves- Thier first show in over a year and a half. Expect big surprises...

Elika-First New York show since September of last year. they'll be debuting some new material. none of us can wait.

Ryan Skyward of Project Skyward will be DJing. He always puts a nice twist on the shoegaze sounds by mixing in dancier elements.

$15 gets you in and there's free beer and wine all night long. non alcoholic stuff too...

you can purchase advance tickets through paypal via the myspace page...
