Subinev

July 16, 2008

Let's be brief. The move went well, but things have been busy and complicated since then. All-in-all I've been enjoying Portland and other parts of Maine that I've ventured to recently. To answer the question that my NYC friends have been asking: yes, there are bearded hipsters here, but no, they aren't all wearing flannel. I'll resume the good old music blogging funtimes here in a bit, but don't hold your breath on that just yet, as I've got some other business to attend to. A safe bet would be that in the Fall Subinev.com will get a makeover and kick into high gear with music reviews and live show coverage. Until then, I'll try to keep on top of using this space to point you to my activities elsewhere.

For now, one thing I'd like to direct your attention to is Have Faith In Worthless Knowledge - This is the official blog of SPACE Gallery (located at 538 Congress St. here in Portland, Maine.) Keep an eye out there for my photos and such.

As always, I can be found on Flickr, as well as all those other social networking-type sites that I know you love so much. Now with more Muxtape.

Because I can't just post without any music update, a hot new track from my former neighbors in the band Goes Cube is up over at Earfarm today. Make that your summer jam. Oh, and don't forget to read what the band has to say about their (former) habit of naming songs with the numerical order in which they wrote them while you're there. Remember that time I interviewed them by asking random numbers as questions? Yeah, that was fun.

Last Weekend In NYC.

Here we are, kids. Down to Sub-Inev's last weekend in NYC. It's been about 9 years, but now it's time to move and the site is coming with me. As of this coming Monday, Subinev.com will be based in Portland, Maine, and so the focus will shift to the local music scene there (I mean really, there are about 8.3 billion other - much more frequently updated - music blogs based in NY these days anyway that love to navelgaze at the local bands, right?) and I hope you'll stick around to see what I have to share about it.

Before we head out, let's take a look at my recommendations for the weekend ahead.

Thursday:
*Devo, Tom Tom Club, Dan Deacon @ McCarren Pool
Luke Temple, Jones Street Boys @ Housing Works (Free show, and all of the bar proceeds go to fighting HIV and AIDS in the NYC area)
Dynasty, Umami, Limbs @ Delancey (I'd love to see Limbs, though my experience there with the last Man In Gray show makes me not want to go back so fast)

Friday:
Titus Andronicus, Devon Williams @ Knitting Factory (Titus were great at After The Jump!)
A Place to Bury Strangers, King Khan & His Shrines, Black Acid @ South Street Seaport (FREE!)
*Finian McKean @ Sunny's (Guaranteed to be amazing)

Saturday:
Titus Andronicus, Obits, Emperor X, Blood City @ East River Amphitheater (FREE)
The Muggabears, Coin Under Tongue, Fiasco, Sisters @ Less Artists More Condos
Artanker Convoy @ Rooftop Films (Old American Can Factory)
The Black Angels, The Warlocks @ Southpaw
*SATURDAY NIGHT KARAOKE CLUB hosted by David Lame Roth & Sammy Haggard @ Union Hall (11:30pm - it's not a rock show, but it's a lot of fun)

Sunday:
The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones, J Roddy and The Business @ McCarren Pool
Russian Circles, Daughters, The Austerity Program @ Music Hall of Williamsburg

Have fun and I'll see you soon (let's say, oh, I don't know, September and October...) Until then, here's a new sweet tune from one of my NYC favorites, Beat Radio: "Stranger Flowers"

After The Jump Fest 2008 wrapup

Since our first event last August, all of us bloggers behind After The Jump have learned a thing or two about putting on a successful music festival. I think our CMJ and SXSW showcases (and unofficial parties) helped... but whatever it was, as good as our events have been over the past year, this weekend's all day festival in Williamsburg was by far the biggest success. We had 36 bands, 4 stages, and lots of happy music fans! Thanks to all the bands, sponsors, venues, and attendees!

These were some of my personal favorites, alphabetically:
