04:25 PM - El Jezel: tonight at Death Disco
El Jezel are a very special band. I've talked about them plenty here on Subinev, I've done their press photos, made their pins, and even played a Sonic Youth cover with them at Pianos. George, Jess, and Dan are three incredibly talented and almost impossibily sweet people, and the music they make shows it. Add to that the fact that George and Jess are quite in love (they're getting married next month! and having a big party at Galapagos, but you'll hear more about that later...) and it makes for some music that couldn't be made by anyone else. Though they've got the whistful shoegaziness down like nobody's business, they can rock it like you wouldn't believe in an instant. El Jezel plays at Death Disco tonight (which is FREE and happens at the Delancey every Wednesday at 8pm), along with other Subinev favorites, Mo Matching Drapes (I'm still mad at them for ditching the tuba though). Purchase El Jezel's debut full length, Elements of Being Put Together here. Listen to their music and become their friend on myspace. Bonus: Jess and George have a side project called Carol Ann and the Fantastic Stand. The two songs they have available are actually covers of Man in Gray songs, from the Guitarded and Guitarmy albums. Also sort of related: Beg Yr Pardon is a new biweekly Tuesday night party starting up at the Delancey in June. 4 bands, ipod dj's (that means YOU), baked goods, maybe bbq. Go here or here and write here if you want in (err, bands and people with ipods and good taste in music, that is).
