The LMG Monthy kicks off this Thursday (4/23)

21.4.09

things kick off this thursday with a the sharp little 2 band bill of Luxa and Telltale.

Telltale...

Brooklyn’s Telltale showcases an intriguing mix of experimental no-wave, reverb-soaked post-punk, and dark shoegaze. Featuring Eric Gilstrap, Laurie Ruroden, Stephan Cherkashin, and Lauren Andino, the quartet's ear-splitting washes of guitar feedback, deadpan chants and ominous droning wastelands doesn't so much blanket you as it does envelop you, overpowering you with Sonic Youth caterwauls and JAMC-esque walls of sound. The music churns in a slow burn, awash in effects, but there’s an aggression lurking just beneath the surface that maintains an uneasy atmosphere. There’s also a healthy dose of reverb to help wash down all the gauzy noise... "This will destroy you... and you will love every second of it." -The Free Times

Luxa


Luxa has a dim relation to the newer offshoot genres of shoegaze, but enters greater landscapes with a volatile adventurism and a new kind of dynamism in its swirling beauty. raw and tender. complex and simple. consumable and out of reach.

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...

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...
