1:15am / TAYISHA BUSAY Kegs, kones, kicks; rainbows, ringtones, rimjobs; hotdogs, hamburgers, hoagies; dance, dance, dance! Tayisha Busay’s EP “Shock-Woo!” serves up super-sized helpings of clubby beats and sing-along absurdity designed to get the party started. The trashy trio is a connoisseur of excess: 70s, 80s, 90s, whatever. They’ve raided everyone’s ‘What-Was-IThinking?!’ photo album and assembled the fashion faux pas into an album full of disco progressions, pulsating synth, old skool rhymes, and glitter galore. Standout single “WTF You Doin In My Mouth?” walks the razor’s edge between smutty innuendo and a G-rated reflection on fast food. Brooklyn, always in danger of taking its indie too seriously, should welcome this assshakin’ antidote to pretension. Myspace.com/ tayishabusay (Mike Gutierrez – qromag.com) 12:30am / ARPLINE Arpline is a rather epic sounding new Brooklyn indie band with an interesting electronic sound that seems to be based mostly on a wild use of synchronized arpeggiators - hence the name, we guess. Early traces of MGMT, mixed with German post punk influences create a feeling of club basement badass mixed with synthesizers and dance jam goodies. ArpLine’s set to release their debut full-length “Travel Book” in early 2011. For a taste, listen to the upcoming record’s first single, “Fold Up Like a Piece of Paper.” Myspace. com/arpline (Vann Alexandra) 11:45pm / BRONZE Though they have only been performing for a few months, Bronze has already played a slew of high profile dates opening for Free Energy, Snowden, Film School, and We Were Promised Jetpacks – probably also because 2 of its founding members were previously of NYC based, and French Kiss records alum, Detachment Kit. Compared to the now defunct act, Bronze have a less guitar centric, more produced sound, in some sort of crunchy dance-pop sort of way (think something between MGMT and Social Broken Scene), and an equally fun live show, with the added textural element brought by Jess Birch’s frantic percussion. Myspace.com/bronzemusic (Dave Cromwell + Paolo De Gregorio) 11:00pm / CHAPPO Chappo is a NYC rock band with a new EP that meshes all sorts of influences, from the playful approach to music reminiscent of Beck and Flaming Lips to the spacey atmospheres of Air, to occasional funk rock rhythms, hip hop references and noisy distorted guitars. Their music is fearless, innovative and downright fun, infusing classic indie pop with complete chaos, achieving their goal of making the Chappo experience one meant to be out of this world. Check them out live for some good time. Myspace.com/chappomusicnyc ( Paolo De Gregorio + CM) 10:15pm / MINIBOONE The most exciting music isn’t always the most frenetic, and MiniBoone is a case in point: they manage to overwhelm the senses without taking up every last inch of the musical soundscape– there’s space to breathe, to ponder the music as it’s happening. It’s a carefully (and perfectly) constructed balance that most bands struggle to find and never quite achieve. These guys excel at packaging remarkable musical complexities into feverishly catchy pop songs. Seeing them live is like freebasing cocaine while doing windsprints on a rollercoaster. Myspace.com/minibooneband (Ben Heller - ampeatermusic.com) 8:45pm / ADULT THEMES The best noise rock works exactly like pop music, but achieves that genre’s “liberating” effect through the interaction of dissonant elements, rather than melodic ones. Adult Themes is one of the few bands that’s developing that idea and making it their own. This band’s deranged melodies and dissonant instrumental deviations somehow make perfect musical sense. Their controlled cacophony raises musical tension exactly to the point of alarm rather than ear piercing, unbearable madness. The songs in their debut 7” - Young Bodies and Four Fires - are perfect examples of this – check them out if Sonic Youth left a mark on you.” Myspace.com/adultthemesband (Paolo De Gregorio) AFTERNOON SHOW (FREE) Psych Rock + Indie Stage EVENING SHOW ($6) Indie + Electro Stage ALSO ON THIS BILL: 2:00 am / LE VICE (San Fransisco) 9:30 pm / ELECTRIC TICKLE MACHINE (see feature on page 30) 8:00 pm / BAD COP (Nashville) 6:30 pm / UNIVOX (Philly) For last minute changes check nyc.thedelimagazine.com 7:15pm / SHARK? Although they punctuate their band’s name with a question mark, Shark?, play the kind of fun, irreverent and party-ready rock n’ roll that is best paired with an exclamation point. Combining the lo-fi recording aesthetic of many of their peers with quirky pop melodies and the raw energy of 70’s punk and sloppy 90’s indie bands, these guys offer a bit of something for everyone. P.S. The L Mag is obsessed with them. Myspace.com/ sharkquestionmark (Bill Dvorak) the deli_16 fall 2010
HOW TO “DO IT” a We Are Scientists guide to ROCK STARDOM By Chris Cain (We Are Scientists) Illustrations by Michelle Kondrich (www.michellekondrich.com) As a founding member of We Are Scientists, I’m regularly asked, “How do you do it?”, “What’s your secret?”, “Why is God’s love for you greater than his love for me?”, and variations along these lines. No wonder. As I write this, I’m seated in a spanking new Qantas A380 flying from Sydney to Los Angeles, having just completed a successful run of shows in Australia. I have an aisle seat all to myself. In a few minutes, I’ll be served a hot meal that will include a complimentary glass of wine or a cocktail, should I be in the mood for it. Later, a snack. Such films as “Gladiator” and “A Beautiful Mind,” as well as contemporary favorites like “Sex & The City 2,” wait at the ready in the seat-back entertainment unit literally inches from my face. As and when desired, I can visit an on-plane restroom. All of this is happening in the middle of the sky, at around 500 miles per hour. Air travel is just one of the many perks that come with my job, so it’s no wonder everybody wants to trade places with me. I’m not about to give this all up, though, and in any case most of you don’t know the bass parts to all of our songs. So I propose a middle ground: I’ll teach you everything I know about being a successful music artist – this will allow you to create your own band and take it straight to the top. In exchange, you leave me the hell alone, except to give me compliments or to offer me free things. But you stop asking me to trade places with you – I don’t want your job at Panda Express. I was drunk when I said that. Forming The Band The first step toward getting to fly on airplanes is to form a band. Sounds more difficult than it is. It is a little known and little understood fact that something like 90% of successful rock bands form at a Guitar Center. Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, U2, Coldplay, and Lily Allen all got their start at Guitar Center when a couple of outgoing musicians who were testing this or that piece of gear fell into a serendipitous jam. Indeed, if you hang out at Guitar Center in any city on any given afternoon, you’ll hear half a dozen bands form. You’ll be sitting on a marked-down $399 amp with built-in tuner and COSM effects, engulfed in the not-unpleasant cacophony of two dozen assholes fucking around on stringed instruments, when suddenly two, and then three, and then four of those assholes begin roughly to synchronize their playing in both rhythm and key. The other musician-customers, hearing what you hear, begin to taper their own meanderings, the better to witness the burgeoning phenomenon – “the burgeoning,” I guess. And just like that, with no forethought or advance notice, twenty lucky sons of guns are listening to the first Seven Mary Three concert. The lesson is this: if you’re a musician looking for a band, budget some time each afternoon for Guitar Center. Weeding Out Weeds When you choose your band mates by going to Guitar Center most afternoons and wanking on mandolin until somebody starts wanking in time on djimbe and somebody else starts wanking in key on pedal steel, you run a certain risk. This approach, though responsible for bands ranging from The Killers to The Miles Davis Quartet, has an “implosion” rate of about 5%, which is just a clever bit of legalese meaning that every hundred years or so, a band composed of dudes who met at Guitar Center, jamming, will discover that one among them is not quite right for the job and needs gently to be kicked the fuck out of Smashmouth. This hellish prospect became horrifically real for Guns N Roses, who, a couple of years in, had to deal with the fact that drummer Steven Adler was violently addicted to a cocktail of hard drugs, and that his addiction was taking an awful toll on his the deli_17 fall 2010
